As far as I am aware people are still out searching for him.
I have not heard of any actual sightings of him on the marshes/ wetlands...and it's been stated that his phone may not have been with him when it pinged in the Tottenham/Edmonton area near the now closed IKEA. I wonder how certain they are about location as it's been stated he was on Banbury Rd and surely that could ping off the same cell towers, wherever they are situated.
I know there have been bike thefts, muggings and rape across a wider area of the marshes, not necessarily in this section. You can get a better idea of local crime on various sites which you can type in a postcode with that area to see past crimes in certain periods. Some cyclists have even previously been thrown into the water. This is part of the Lea / Lee Valley which stretches from outside London to the Thames with reservoirs, canals, rivers, flood relief channel... without knowing where he was going, route, if he even entered the Wetlands, it's all speculation.
It's true there are parties that spring up as well as raves in the area, from both the Walthamstow, Tottenham, Edmonton sides with little warning. I am sure there was a large one around Folly Lane/ Banbury / Durban Rd area a month or more ago. But locals will have noticed all this I am sure and commented on it.
The Drumsheds music venue is often commented on locally as with the raves and parties the sound can carry depending on wind direction etc.
This is not the only case it's been commented on that is getting little coverage in comparison to Nicola Burges, and if you look at the activity on threads about her on here, that's partly why. The media choose to focus on those who sell newspapers/create internet traffic... I also feel it's partly due to vulnerability, It's a woman, with child dependents, statistically bearing in mind they have to look at all avenues in missing person cases, and not stating any crime has occurred, but she is like a stereotypical poster representative of a woman that certain male assailants would choose. That concerns me.
Nathan apparently had a drone in his backpack, seems an odd thing to take out if he was going to a concert and also something you might want to use on a place like the marshes and also something someone might rob someone to have. Would he fly it at night though. There are so many unknowns.
I really hope they find him soon and safe, or some clues that help further his case

I can understand though as people could steal photos from private sources that aren't meant to be public. At least I know now for future reference thank you I also now know I can't delete my own posts, regarding duplicate link.
RIP Nathan.
