Can you help locate missing Steve?

STEVE Cook, who lives in Sandbach, travelled to the island of Crete with friends on Wednesday, August 31. After booking into their apartment in Malia they went out for the night. Steve has not been seen since.

Below are the events leading up to Steve's disappearance, a description of him, photos of Steve and a 'missing' poster that you can print out and take to Malia with you if you are going there on holiday. If you have any information that you think could help locate Steve please get in touch as soon as possible using the websites and phone numbers below.

The events of the night Steve disappeared
Just before 8.30pm Steve and his friends set off from the Frixos hotel on an organised bar crawl.

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

They were then scheduled to go onto Factory at 00.20 and at 1.00 go to Club UK where they would remain for the rest of the night.

Roughly around midnight Steve and his friend, Andy, whom 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 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 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 at around 00.40.

Between 00.30 and 1.00 Steve was seen outside of Mike's Pub at the top of the street asking a PR girl called Rebecca 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, would only have had 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.

Steve's personality
Steve is a nice lad who if involved in a confrontational situation would be apologetic and back down. He has never been known to disappear like this before and always keeps in touch with his family when he is away from home - either through the Internet or by mobile.

He does not have a girlfriend and has not had any trouble in his life. He had been making plans with his brother prior to going away to buy tickets for the Liverpool / Chelsea champions league game.

He is an avid Liverpool fan and if he met any other football fans out there would no doubt have mentioned Liverpool FC, the Champions League win and his trip to Istanbul.

Steve studies Business and Marketing at Liverpool university where he is due to enter his 3rd and final year.
