Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website dedicated to bringing our much loved son, uncle, brother and friend home.

Steve went missing on the first night of his holiday in Malia, Crete on September 1st 2005.

A popular guy, and about to enter his final year at University, it's considered that Steve had no reason to runaway

The picture on the right is the last known photo of Steven, taken by his friends on the night that he went missing.

For full details on the timeline and locations leading up to Steven being detatched from his friends please visit here.

If you know anybody going to Crete or any of the surrounding islands please keep your eyes and ears open. We still believe he's out there somewhere and it just takes one good person to help us find him and get him home.

Steve has a new nephew, Ryan, who would love to meet his missing uncle as much as us all.

With heartfelt thanks,

The Cook family
The night of the disappearence:

Just before 8.30 pm Steven and his friends set off from the Frixos Hotel on a bar crawl organised by the representatives of the operator, First Choice Holidays.

At 20.30 they arrived at the Banana Bar
At 21.00 they moved on to Babylon
At 21.40 they moved on to Exodus
At 22.20 they moved on to Midway
At 23.00 they went to Liquid
At 23.40 they went to Camelot

They were then scheduled to go on to Factory at 00.20 and at 01.00 go to Club UK where they would remain for the rest of the night.

Roughly around midnight Steve and his friend Andy who were sharing a room decided to head back to their hotel for a sleep.

They were also considering getting some food.

On the way back up the street they were approached by a PR who told them that they could get a pint in his bar for just one euro.  This was in the proximity of the Royal Oak (the lads had eaten at the Royal Oak earlier in the day) but on the opposite side of the street.

Deciding to have one last pint Steve and Andy went in.

The bar was extremely busy and this is where the two lost contact with each other.

Not being able to locate Steve Andy went back to either the Camelot or Factory to meet up with the group they had left earlier.  This was around 00.40.

Between 00.30 and 01.00 Steven was seen outside of Mike's pub at the top of the street asking a PR girl called Rebecca and another girl for directions to the Frixos.  Not being able to help him Rebecca saw Steve then head left (in the opposite direction of the Frixos) on the main street towards Sisi.

He has not been seen since yet he would only have around 30-40 euros left and only had one bank card on his person at the time.  No cash has been taken out of his account since his disappearance.  He had also left his mobile phone in his room.
