Leading up to Lukes disappearance
Luke went out with friends in Ipswich, Suffolk on the evening of the 11th May 2006, one of Lukes friends decided to go home not long after arriving in Ipswich. Luke and his other friend went to the Zest Nightclub in Princes Street, Ipswich.
The friend Luke was in Zest with went to the bar to get drinks, when he went to bring Luke his drink he could not find him. After looking for Luke in the club he thought that Luke had perhaps met a girl and left.
Luke was seen at Ipswich train station, 5 minutes walk from Zest Nightclub, at approximately 2.30 - 3am on 12th May 2006, he was asked to leave the train station as there were no trains running at that time of night.
Luke was next seen in Hawk Express, a taxi rank the other side of town at 3.45am, he was trying to get home but had no money on him. He was caught on the taxi ranks CCTV, he seemed relaxed and in good spirits. After speaking to the staff at the taxi rank they said he was good mannered and perhaps a little tipsy but not drunk.
At 4am Luke was captured on CCTV in Dogs Head Street crossing the zebra crossing towards the bus station.
This was the last positive sighting of Luke.

The Facts
It has been established that Luke was trying to make his way home.
Luke was planning to pick his wages up that day they were never touched.
Lukes bank account has not been touched since his disappearance.
There has been no positive sighting of Luke since the sighting of him on CCTV at 4am on the 12th May 2006.
The car shown in the CCTV below, captured in Orwell Place, 9 minutes after Luke was seen, heading towards the Spread Eagle Pub, away from the direction Luke was last seen in has never been identified.
the only thing I can think of was hitchhiking, or perhaps he decided to wal home, and got hit and someone paniked and covered it up. It does not look like he left willingly.
I tend to mostly go along with your theory that he ended up in the water which if you look on the map was not that far.I've only just got round to watching the documentary but it was quite enlightening.
I tend to think that the drugs/debt connection is a bit of a red herring. The night out was so random and unplanned, how could he have been abducted?
I think sadly that the most likely scenario seems to me to be that he tried to walk home and has ended up in water
The article mentions that arrests were made, yet no progress, so obviously the suspects were released again.Luke Durbin - The Steeple Times
May 6, 2020 rbbm.
''Luke Durbin from Hollesley, near Woodbridge went missing aged just 19 after a night out with friends in Ipswich. After after being unable to afford to pay for a taxi home at about 4am, this grocery store worker was last seen on CCTV wandering around the town centre in the early hours of the 12th May 2006.
Durbin had left his new motorbike and personal belongings, including his mobile telephone, at his friend’s house and no trace of him has ever been found since. A silver or white Volvo 440 – possibly registration M206 LYE (which was “either registered to a false name and address or on false plates” according to the ‘Missing The Missing’ YouTube channel) – seen also on camera in the close vicinity of Durbin’s last location at the time of his last sighting has never been eliminated from enquiries. Suffolk Police have stated that they “sadly believe Luke was unlawfully killed,” and though a £20,000 reward was offered and multiple arrests made, no progress has been made in solving this disappearance.''
''In subsequent years, Luke Durbin’s mother, Nicki Durbin, has tirelessly continued her efforts to find her son and taken a job working on the Missing People helpline to help others in similar situations. She also operates a Twitter account and an email address findluke@hotmail.co.uk highlighting the case and keeps alive the hope of one day solving what the Ipswich Star terms: “One of Suffolk’s most enduring mysteries.”
The Dutch police see it as a possibility he might have traveled to the Netherlands. I really don't know why. Maybe he had contacts with Dutch drug dealers? I always thought placing his missing file on the Dutch police website was something like "doing the UK authorities a favor", but maybe there is more to it.Is there any more info on this "Dutch police claim he may have travelled to the Netherlands and are thus investigating the missing case as well."?

If true, there was a man fitting the description found deceased in Poland a few months later. (I'm calling his hair dark btw).
.I could be wrong but for god sake when are the UK police forces going to use the very new DNA technics for identifying remains...The ignorance is very annoying to say the least IMO. Welcome to 2021. If it's about money...it usually is...there could be organized a fundraising.
