Dive squad searches to find Nambour man

Sunshine Coast detectives have released images of items located as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Nambour man, Nate Preston.

The 20-year-old was last seen in the Mooloolaba area at approximately midnight on Sunday 22 May.

Nate was reported missing on Tuesday 24 May as he had made no contact with friends or family.

The dive squad completed the search between May 26 and May 27 with no other items of interest located.

Investigations remain ongoing.

Detectives appealed to anyone who was near Brisbane Road and River Esplanade Mooloolaba on the evening of Saturday 21 May or the following morning, who may have relevant information, CCTV or dashcam footage in the area at the time to contact police.

Anyone with information regarding the 20-year-old’s whereabouts is urged to come forward, anonymous reports can be made.
