Luke Durbin: Missing teenager's identity used in 'computer-related fraud' | |
(about 11 hours later) | |
The identity of a Suffolk teenager was used in a "computer-related fraud" about a year after his disappearance, a detective has revealed. | |
In an appeal on BBC Crimewatch, the detective leading the search for Luke Durbin said his identity was used in London in August 2007. | |
Mr Durbin, 19, went missing in May 2006 after a night out in Ipswich. | |
His mother, Nicki, from Hollesley, near Woodbridge, said his disappearance was out of character. | |
Det Supt John Brocklebank, who is leading the investigation, said: "There's a chance he may be in some sort of debt having got in with the wrong crowd. | |
'Found direction' | |
"In August 2007, somebody has used his name and date of birth in a computer-related fraud. That e-mail address was used and it was in the Brixton area of London. Who used that?" | |
Mr Brocklebank said officers feared Luke might have been "held against his will" and "unlawfully killed". | |
Speaking on the show, Ms Durbin said: "At the point Luke went missing I really thought he had found direction in life. | |
"He wanted to travel, he just seemed driven. | |
"My imagination has become my best friend and my worst enemy. No parent should lose their child, but to lose your child to an unknown entity just eats me up." | |
Officers have said they have a clear idea of Mr Durbin's movements after he left the Zest nightclub, up until his last confirmed sighting in Dog's Head Street in Ipswich at 04:00 BST on 12 May 2006. | Officers have said they have a clear idea of Mr Durbin's movements after he left the Zest nightclub, up until his last confirmed sighting in Dog's Head Street in Ipswich at 04:00 BST on 12 May 2006. |
Police said CCTV images of him at the railway station, a taxi rank and crossing the road towards the cattle market bus station suggest he was trying to get home. | Police said CCTV images of him at the railway station, a taxi rank and crossing the road towards the cattle market bus station suggest he was trying to get home. |
