Officers step up urgent search to find missing university student
 
I wonder which bar? If he was at Mojo's, it is right near the lake.

Is Mojo's a student bar? I don't know the area, just read this update :

Daniel Williams, 19, was last seen in a student union bar at the University of Reading's Whiteknights campus in the early hours of Thursday.

He was reported missing after he failed to return to his student accommodation.
 
It looks like there's a lake on campus and a bar (no. 29 on the map) pretty close to it.

Yeah Mojo's is no 29 above and in the student union center. What looks like a river there is just the skinny end of the lake. I wonder if it had much ice?

Yes, a lake right at the edge of the campus, with access from outside. I don't believe it's frozen over, at least not all over and it wouldn't be thick enough to stop someone falling in even in the worst winters IMO.

Daniel Williams, 19, was last seen at around midnight in a student union bar on Whiteknights campus at the University of Reading.

The second-year Computer Science student was reported missing after he failed to return to his student accommodation.

'It is out of character for Daniel to be missing so please report any possible sightings of him to officers as soon as possible.'

Not much info to go on re where he lived or where he might have been going. If he was at the student union bar and was headed east towards his home that would take him directly over or past the lake. And if he was drunk he could have gone that way if disoriented or lost. I'm quite surprised a second year student would be living and drinking on campus but there you go. It looks like misadventure/accidental and that the likely outcome will not be good. Sad to have this at the same time as Libby Squire's disappearance.
 
Police have urged missing university student who vanished on a night out to contact his family as hunt enters its fourth day.

Long time lurker, but had to post since this is so close to home.

The lake was iced over on Thursday, apart from a small patch under Friends Bridge. The ice would not have held a persons weight (the ducks were having a good skate though :)).

The lake was my first worry when I heard the news, I do hope this young man is found safe and well.

This happened recently in Michigan. Similar story.
