Emmerdale fans believe they’ve cracked the case of the frozen lake murder following the discovery of what appears to be Nate Robinson’s body.
The popular ITV soap has recently been airing heart-wrenching scenes in the aftermath of a fatal limousine accident that took the lives of Suzy Merton, Leyla Harding and Amy Wyatt.
In Friday’s episode, a distraught Tracy Metcalfe, who was involved in the crash but miraculously survived, left a poignant voicemail for her estranged husband, Nate Robinson. She updated him on the village’s tragic events and confessed her longing for him.
As she spoke, the camera ominously shifted to the frozen lake crime scene where a mysterious hooded figure observed the police gathering evidence.
Fans will remember that when Amy plunged into the icy lake, she discovered another body submerged with her. Before her untimely death, she tried to convey to her loved ones that the corpse appeared to be Nate’s.
With the unidentified body seemingly identified as Nate’s, speculation is rife among viewers, with John Sugden, Caleb Miligan or being prime suspects.

However, some eagle-eyed fans think they’ve pieced together the puzzle of the real murderer and the sequence of events. They recall that last year Moira Dingle ignited a barn fire after firing a shotgun during a disturbing hallucination, an incident that occurred prior to her devastating brain tumour diagnosis.
fans have been sharing their theories on Twitter, now X, about the fate of Nate, with one viewer speculating: “What if it was Mack who disposed of Nate ,supposing Nate died in the barn fire and Mack found him and to protect Moira who caused the fire he got rid of the body and this is what Mack was running from in the flash forward #.”
Another fan suggested a different scenario, tweeting: “Calling it now, Moira accidentally killed Nate in the barn with the shotgun and Cain got rid of the body in the lake! #” while a third chimed in with: “What if Moira killed him accidentally during the barn fire last year, and Cain covered it up and that’s whose grave we saw him crying by in the new year preview because the truth will out now. #.”
Viewers may recall that following a fallout with his father Cain and partner Tracy, Nate decided to relocate to Shetland for a fresh start around the same time as the barn fire. However, since his departure, Tracy has been unable to reach him by phone, only managing to communicate via text messages.
continues Monday to Friday at 7:30pm on ITV with an hour long episode on Thursdays. The ITV soap is also available to watch each weekday morning at 7am on ITV X.
