Earlier this week, Lancashire Police released further footage showing Jason walking northbound past Marvin’s bar on Breck Road at around 3.50am on November 2.

Police said this is the last confirmed sighting of Jason.

Officers reviewing the missing man's movements have since recovered a clearer image showing Jason’s appearance in the early hours of November 2.

Det Ch Insp Pauline Stables, of Lancashire Police’s Force Major Investigation Team, said: "We are continuing to appeal for information to help find Jason.

"This new image shows Jason’s appearance around the time he was last seen.

"I would ask anyone, who recalls seeing a man matching Jason’s appearance, to come forward and contact us immediately.

"He can be seen wearing wet muddy clothing and has a cut above his right eye.

"His appearance would have been unusual and I hope someone will remember seeing him.

"Any information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, could be crucial to finding him."

In November, a 47-year-old man from Blackpool was arrested on suspicion of Jasons murder. He was later released under investigation.
