King’s College London student nurse Owami Davies was captured on CCTV in the company of a man on 7 July – the night she was last seen alive.
Three men who were arrested in connection with her disappearance have been bailed until September. A fourth man remains in police custody.
The Metropolitan Police say the case remains a missing person investigation.
Ms Davies was first reported missing by Essex Police on 11 July.
The force said she had left the family home in Chafford Hundred, Grays, on 4 July.
In an updated statement on 16 July, police said Ms Davies was last seen in West Croydon late on 6 July walking along Derby Road.
She was wearing a black jumper, grey jogging bottoms and a grey cap.
After a week of further police appeals a spokeswoman for King’s College London said Ms Davies is a valued member of the university’s community.
She said: “We are deeply concerned about her disappearance, and we continue to hope for her swift and safe return.
“We are keeping Owami, her family, and her friends in our thoughts during this difficult time.
“Our immediate priority is cooperating with the Metropolitan Police in their investigation.”
