He was not at work or in touch with his family, and there was no activity on his bank account or phone.

The University of Bath graduate had just started a job at the London School of Economics in the finance department.

Mr Cole’s father Eamonn told MyLondon: “He’s a highly intelligent guy and the family are obviously very concerned and quite devastated that he is missing at this time.”

Detective Sergeant Julie Morrow of the Central West Missing Person Unit said: “This is totally out of character for Nathan and both his family and officers are extremely concerned for his wellbeing.

“If anyone has any information or has seen Nathan, please contact the police.

“Any little piece of information could be vital and save hours of police work by guiding officers to where Nathan was last seen.”

“Finally my appeal to Nathan if you are ok then please contact your family who are so concerned about you or contact the officials you have no problems and we just want to know that you are ok .”
