Nicki Durbin, mother of missing Nicholas 'Nick' Durbin, has issued a renewed call for answers on the 20th anniversary of her son's disappearance. Nick went missing on 20 January 2003, from his home in Loughborough, Leicestershire, and despite numerous investigations and appeals, no official investigation has been conducted, and no charges have been brought in connection with his disappearance.
Durbin's plea comes after a decade of campaigning for justice for her son, and she remains determined to uncover the truth behind his vanishing. In a statement, she said: 'I still can't mourn my son, because I don't know what happened to him.'
The case has been shrouded in mystery, with no new information or leads emerging in two decades. Durbin's case is one of many missing persons cases in the UK, which have left families and loved ones searching for answers.
The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) has said they are 'still investigating' the case, but there has been no update on the status of the investigation in years. The NCA has also stated that they have 'no evidence' to suggest foul play, but the lack of information has left families like Durbin's with more questions than answers.
Durbin's case has been taken up by the charity Missing People, which has been supporting families of missing persons for over 30 years. The charity's chief executive, Martin Houghton-Brown, said: 'We will continue to support Nick's family and help them in any way we can.'
