"He now runs a popular cannabis store in Playa de las Americas called Potter's Garden, which sells multiple types of marijuana.
Good point re whether he saw him or heard him fall on the rocks. There have been two versions reported. I seem to remember in the interview he said he 'heard' and the interviewer said 'so you saw' and he then stuttered 'yea'. Maybe I'm imagining it??
Yet, Ofelia was over the road at the bus stop, talking to Jay, when the couple knocked on the door of the bnb, so it couldn't be her.
I wondered myself if a car had just edged him off the road and he fell. The road is scarily narrow and winding - not much room for walkers.
Is there really any reliable evidence in this case though?
He did reply yeah- but in a very unconvincing manner- whether he saw the initial slipping or not doesn’t really matter, he was hung up on at that point. So wouldn’t know if how far he slid and whether he got hurt- but it would explain Lucy’s initial accounts of the phone call and the change in mood, AQ is aware of none of this and Ophelia just assumed he would step back over the bollard, until she hears about the missing lad the following day.
There is a footpath, but we know Brad said he was walking on the other side by the bollards and the drops
Witnesses not yet spoken to include this mystery couple that knocked the door to have the car moved. And the American that took Lucy up to the mountains.
Has it been confirmed that they haven't been spoken to? Was that confirmed by the Spanish police? If so it smacks of incompetence after 3 weeks, I'm slightly surprised they'd admit that
According to Qassim, the couple were at his door at the same time as he noticed Jay talking to a woman at the bus stop. This is the evidence I mentioned. Whether it is reliable or not, who can say?
Very possible. Its hot, he might be tired, he's thirsty. I'd possibly try to cut corners too, seeing a road like that in front of me.

You're all welcome to tell me I've lost my marbles but.... if Jay had come to that sharp bend in the road which then turns back on itself, is it at all possible that he could see the other side of that 'V' of road and decided to cut across country to the other side to save time and distance?
I wondered if that line was something that got translated from another language where what he said didn’t sound like what a fumbling guilty person would say in a poorly written crime movie lol. Or if he did say it in English if English isn’t his first language. I have family who are bilingual and even in English they speak more directly or even bluntly because that’s how their other language works. If there’s not something like that going on, it was indeed a really weird thing to say unless it was said in frustration after seeing people speculate about him. So he’s doing a “let me spell it out for you” kind of thing.
This was my thinking too. Suddenly Ayub is 'Jonny Vegas' but it takes a week or more for him to say this? Just doesn't ring true. And who was the other man at the Airbnb? Your theory makes perfect sense to me.
If there was a woman staying there also, I might agree. Lol. You seen a single guy/s fridge at home nevermind on vacation?
Fully reformed ,bad past, but now helps teenagers who are left alone after night clubs close offers great hospitality in a loving environment modern day saint is right pride of Britain award goes to ayub qassim
MWT said the guys stopped on the way to the Airbnb at Santiago del Teide at a Cafe/shop, to get drinks. Street view shows a cafe/bar next to the bank and taxi rank.
If we are to believe that they'd only booked the airbnb a matter of hours earlier I can't imagine that had anything there at all which would make sense of stopping at a petrol station/cafe on the way.
