Bit of a gruesome question but are there any predator animals that lurk in the mountainous terrain of Tenerife? wild dogs, birds of prey, bears, wolves etc? apparently the reason it was so hard to find Julian Sands was because there was not much left of him by the time predators had had their lunch, and someone found a piece of clothing and a couple of bones, wondering if it would be hard to locate Jay for this reason

Pal Lucy Law, who was with the msising teen in the Canaries, said: "It’s been awful - I’ve never felt so awful in my life. None of us have slept the last few days. *The last thing he said to me 'I really need a drink'." She said: "The last pin he dropped wasn’t even on the road. Why did he go off road? There’s unanswered questions there."

She said: "I got the phone put down on me by the spanish authorities so I went to speak to them in person. I’ve had my phone stolen before, and they gave me the same slip of paper. They told me I’d get a call within 48 hours, but obviously the 48 hours after a person goes missing can be the most crucial.

"I’ve tried to report a 19-year-old is missing with no phone no water he’s never been in this area. There definitely needed to be more urgency." She said: "We went in for another police interview this afternoon, but there was no translator so we had to use Google Translator which isn’t ideal. You'd think they had someone in there who could translate for us."

She said: "They keep checking the same area, obviously he’s not there. The search needs to be made wider." Speaking to MailOnline, Mr Slater’s mother Debbie Duncan said: “I just don’t know what to think, I’m all over the place and I’m trying to keep positive, has somebody taken him? Is he panicked and lost in the mountains? I just don’t know, that’s why if anyone has any information please just tell us.

“But if he is lost then why hasn’t anyone seen him? It’s busy with hikers and holidaymakers up there so if he was lost then someone would have seen him, so that’s why I think maybe he’s been bundled off somewhere.”

Jay Slater friend who reported him missing was 'hung up on' by police

The 19-year-old was last heard from at 8.15am after he had gone to stay with people he had met at the NRG music festival earlier that day in Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

*I wanna know what was said before he said "I really need a drink" so we could put the phrase in context.

The bit about no translator is strange to me.

There are plenty of Brits in Tenerife who will be bilingual - why don’t the family/friends just ask somebody to accompany them? I’m sure many would do it out the goodness of their hearts rather than needing money.. however, if they did have to pay for an official translator surely that’s making good use of a tiny proportion of the 30k which has been fundraised?

Exactly. Translator over the phone even would be better than Google Translate

Jay Slater missing in Tenerife LIVE with police searching new areas

The 19-year-old has gone missing while on holiday on the Spanish island with his pals

On the evening news story it said Spanish police are due to do a conference this afternoon - then it says the ‘private detective’ is doing one now..

I’m guessing the private detective is going to jump in and release something that’s been found prior to the police .. that’s way he usually operates
 
Maybe he needed a drink, heard water rushing, left the roadway in search of the water, up one of those 'gullys' spoken of earlier in this thread. Years ago, having been in a similar situation, out of water, and really needing a drink, I heard water rushing down a canyon below. I had sipped a few drops on top from some water dripping off a moss covered rock, but it wasn't enough.

Anyway, that rushing water was the sound I recall, and if this guy really was at a point of intense thirst, I'd be searching along/off the known roadways where water could be heard rushing while walking along.

The looming update makes me think there may be some important news on the horizon.
