Episode notes
Luke Durbin "missing or murdered"?
It looks like murder, but what do you think?
In April 2020, a Channel 5 documentary explored Durbin’s drug dealing history and his ties to gangs in Brixton, London. It is speculated Durbin owed money to dealers within his network.
Case overview:
Luke Durbin rode his new motorbike to a friend’s place in Woodbridge, leaving his wallet, keys, phone and a change of clothes, planning to spend the night.
Luke wore a black/grey long-sleeved collared shirt under a reversible plum-grey sweatshirt, alongside faded denim jeans with a motif on the side thigh, and brown suede shoes.
After some drinks at a local pub, Luke Durbin, Alex and Zach then took a cab from Woodbridge to Ipswich to go clubbing at Zest nightclub. After some hours at Zest nightclub, Luke lost contact with his friend after he went to purchase drinks.
Alex was spotted on CCTV walking across the zebra crossing on Dogs Head Street headed towards the bus station at 04:00 AM. This is the last positive sighting of Durbin.
Shortly after, a silver or white Volvo 440 is caught on CCTV with registration ‘M206 LYE’, later discovered to be false plates. The vehicle is of primary interest to investigators.
The next day, Durbin’s family assumed he had gone to work, although after contacting friends and his work over his whereabouts, he was reported missing by his mother.
