Found Deceased Jay Slater, 19, missing on holiday in Tenerife, 17 June 2024 #2

Truly

These days, I feel I need a satellite phone so my relatives can track me to Walmart and back

Since I watched the entire journey of a granddaughter and my two great grandchildren from Boise back to Denver yesterday on Life 360 I can relate.

Peace of mind for loved ones goes a long way.

Makes no sense - why wouldn't a person just turn around, walk back downhill and end up back at the house where they'd started, beg for some sustenance and water and charge phone, call for a taxi?

It wont be the first time and certainly wont be the last. I think we have all probably found ourselves in situations where we look back and thought-why the heck didnt I...I know for me, sometimes I even have "premonitions" Don't pay attention to them, and then kick myself later when what i'd envisioned, happens.

"Don't worry, everything is out of control."
-very old saying.

And one of the other seven was a relative of Jays- Isabelle, according to this article (I believe the relative is the female in the Snapchat video). ETA I misread the previous article thanks for correcting me Miss_french, we don’t know there was 7, but there was more than just Brad and Lucy.

Jay Slater clues in photos and last snap taken 30 minutes before disappearance

As the search for Jay Slater continues, the Mirror takes a look at some of the photos shared by the teen before his disappearance, including one snap taken shortly before his last phone call

So we dont even know the correct no of people Jay travelled with...eesh!

 

[PS8800]

I just wonder why Jay didn't go back into the air bnb when he found out there would be a bus at 10am and ask one of these 2 men to alert Lucy that he was OK and would be back on the bus. Or why didn't one of the men drive him back knowing how far it was from his accommodation. It just seems Jay didn't want to go back into that house and wanted to get away from there as quickly as possible. The reason why he may have left the road could be that he was concerned the men might come looking for him in their car.

I'm sure the woman said he asked twice about the bus timings because he didnt seem to understand her. Its possible he left thinking the bus was in 10 hours? Or that 1.5hrs was too long to wait. Or he just didn't understand anything she said at all.

 

[PS8800]

Maybe they were being responsible. Maybe because they are older, they were trying to look after him. Rather than leaving him to wander around the dangerous steets after the rave - since all his friends had left and he may have had no idea where he was staying.

If only they had been responsible enough to insist he not wander, on foot, in those surroundings where there are no pavements and no place to actually walk on foot safely besides the trails. "Safely"

 

[PS8800]

On their way back to Tenerife South airport, presumably, as they were meant to be flying home that day. Still can’t get my head round their accommodation location; it’s just not logical for a weekend festival break.

Has it been said the men were in Tenerife specifically for the festival?

 

[PS8800]

Really helpful to see these two pictures side by side.

I think the person with the cigarette (presumably Jay) was leaning over the parapet of the sun terrace above the door.

The person (or people) dressed/wrapped/covered in the orange thing is/are standing or sitting on the steps.

It explains the different proportions (large hand compared with petite feet imo).

So perhaps there was someone else at that house as well as Jay and the two men he supposedly went there with - perhaps someone female.

JMOO

ETA pics

The steps, ground and railing appear too close in the pic for this IMO

 

[PS8800]

Regarding him going off the road. Its really not that strange. I think maybe some people are used to different roads and surroundings. These are narrow 2 way roads and people can drive like real Hole A's on them. They can be fun to drive as they're also newer roads. All it takes is for one car to zoom past, and yes there a high possibility you will be hit due to the bends, and drivers sure as hell not expecting someone to be WALKING them, there is NO pavement, and thats enough to get you off the road and look for an alternative route.
And that is IF you are crazy enough to even think, oh let me walk this road. You are LITERALLY near walking on the middle of the road, there is no side or edge to it.

Regarding hanging out with older/younger folk. Not unusual. I've always like the company of older people and probably more drawn to them than folk my age-who until I reached my 30s always felt they had nothing to teach me lol.
Older people can be young at heart. And lets not forget this was a rave after all. Self explanatory.

Hey Everyone,
This thread is closing for tonight. We will open the thread in the morning.
Due to the amount of alerts that came in overnights on Jay's discussion we are closing the thread overnight. We will revisit leaving it open 24 hours in the future.

Thread is open.

Missing Jay Slater's 'last sighting' in Tenerife: Family share CCTV of mystery figure believed to be teen

The family of missing Brit Jay Slater have shared a CCTV image of a mystery figure believed to be the teen.

www.lbc.co.uk

So this is a walk of over an hour from Masca village and was caught at 6pm the day he went missing. The image is grainy imo but I am sure there was another image shared a few days ago showing someone fitting Jay’s description, he was with 2 men. Trying to find it.

The Spanish Civil guard are stating there’s been no developments still in this case

The footage is useless - there’s not much point in having a CCTV camera if the footage is that grainy and blurred

If that is him (I’m sure the police are trying to get better footage from near the area to confirm) then he’s got further than they thought they’ll have to rethink the search area

There have been reports of a possible sighting of Jay with 2 men but I don't recall seeing an image? Who were two people seen with man 10 hours after last Jay Slater sighting?

Yes I could of course be mistaken. I have seen so much about the case this past week the old head is a bit fried.

This sighting was shared on the official find Jay page last week but it appears it is only now being taken serious which is a shame as that is a few days lost!

Hmmm...
The person on cctv seems to wear dark coloured shoes.
While Jay's were reported white?

But it it too blurry to be sure.

He told GB News: "His behaviour wasn't entirely predictable. He wanted to get a bus back to the south, and yet he was seen walking away from the village in the opposite direction after stopping a neighbour to ask for the bus timetables.

In praise of the Spanish police, Couzens said despite not issuing a public appeal like the British authorities would, they are "quietly working away" and are "focused on the work they're doing".

Couzens added: "It's a very emotionally charged situation, but I think the Spanish police are handling it well, albeit in a very different manner to the way the British police would.

"They're quietly working away in the background and focused, as they told me this morning when I just spoke to them, totally, 100 per cent focused on the work they're doing

At least one news channel isn’t trying to alienate the Spanish police more- although they also will only have one official answer to are you doing your job and they don’t need a press spokesperson to know the response to be given.
