This signals a major break through for meAccording to MEN there are significant delays with the press conference
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
There is no mention of a press conference on either the bbc or sky.
According to the MEN article above there is one being held by both.
The press conference might just be to update and clarify given the rampant speculation - though it would be good if the family got some answers albeit not the ones hoped for.
Especially since most of the last day or so's news has focused on the possible sighting at the soccer game and the town's mayor becoming involved.
it says "beware of the _____ ckts in the area..." (sic) still some words missing
""I’ve tried to report a 19-year-old is missing with no phone no water..." (snipped quote from Lucy in article above). I think Lucy interpreted "I need a drink" as meaning Jay had no water and was thirsty, as opposed to "fk my life".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.”
*I wanna know what was said before he said "I really need a drink" so we could put the phrase in context.
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.uk.news.yahoo.com
This actually is interesting because he said he was thirsty and he also had two hours to burn before the bus came. Even if his intention was to hike back to where he was staying, he naturally would have had to seek out water soon. Water carves out dangerous formations in the landscape, so it wouldn't be surprising if he hurt himself looking for it.
I've never been convinced by the 'going off road to answer a call of nature' theory but that one I really get, having been in a desperate situation myself once. Possibly with judgement and mobility impaired he could easily have fallen. It explains so much and why he wasn't spotted on the road apart from early on.
