Nate’s Mysterious Disappearance and Grim Discovery
Just last week, following the limo crash that k.i.l.l.e.d Amy Wyatt, Susie Merton, and Lila Harding, Nate’s tragic fate was made public.
Amy fell through the ice and made a chilling discovery—a body submerged beneath the lake. Before her d.e.a.t.h, she was convinced it was Nate due to several telling clues. Further confirmation came when Tracy Robinson left Nate a voicemail, and the camera ominously panned back to the lifeless body. Amy d.i.e.d before she could reveal Nate’s terrible fate. But how did he end up there, and who was responsible?
A Look Back at the Key Clues
Several eerie hints suggest that Nate was m.u.r.d.e.r.e.d. Before his disappearance, he was wrongly accused of having an affair with his stepmother, Moira Dingle, leading to a brutal confrontation with his father, Cain Dingle. His relationship with Tracy Robinson also fell apart, leaving him isolated and desperate.
A battered and bruised Nate returned to the farm to confront Moira—but John Sugden stopped him, warning that it would only escalate the situation. Surprisingly, Nate agreed and suddenly decided to leave for Shetland.
That was the last time anyone saw him.
Soon after, John announced that Nate had left the village, a claim that struck fans as suspicious. A week later, Tracy received a text message from Nate, asking her not to call him. But we now know Nate never sent that message. So who did—and why?
Was John Sugden the K.i.l.l.e.r?
In the September 12th episode, following the barn explosion, we might have seen proof that John is the m.u.r.d.e.r.e.r. While everyone injured was at the hospital, John stayed behind in the village, acting strangely.
Tracy, approaching John’s camper van, smelled something burning. She found John standing at his open van door, staring inside with a horrified and anxious expression. Upon noticing Tracy, he slammed the door shut and walked away, appearing evasive and unsettled.
Could he have been looking at evidence of his crime—or even Nate’s body—before Tracy interrupted him?
The Timeline and the Big Questions
John was missing during the explosion and returned later, claiming he was elsewhere. Could he have been disposing of Nate’s body? His eagerness to tell Tracy that Nate had left for Shetland also feels calculated. When Tracy expressed sadness about not getting a proper goodbye, John replied, “Sorry.” Was he apologizing for Nate’s d.e.a.t.h?
The body was dumped in the lake at night, as revealed in the flash-forward. Could John have k.i.l.l.e.d Nate that evening and was then trying to cover his tracks when Tracy caught him?
