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

[Shellie85]

I'm struggling to see the attraction of Tenerife tbh.

I go to Tenerife every year , mainly Costa Adeje . I love it. Always guaranteed great weather, cheap ( although like most places getting more expensive), the people are welcoming and friendly and I haven’t had one bad experience. Unfortunately, like everywhere in the world, there is bad people. We know that just by being on this site. If we were to worry about going anywhere because of the bad areas or the minority of wrong ones then we would never leave the house.

This is the other thing I found odd. Jay's Father remarked that it was out of character for his son to walk any kind of distance, stating that he'd have to drive him a few hundred yards just to get his hair cut. Why was he then prepared to walk however many miles he intended on walking to get wherever he intended on going when there was a bus stop quite literally on the doorstep?
What was so urgent that he couldn't wait for a bus, but justified (in his head) an enormous hike that would have taken significantly longer than a bus journey plus the wait? He had a map on his phone, so he would have been aware of the distance he might have had to travel.

In my own opinion, he was trying to get away from that AirBnB as quickly as possible.

I know this doesn’t change your point, but I’m pretty sure it was his stepdad who said that. IMO since I don’t have the link handy.

I have no problem believing this. Sounds like a thoroughly decent company who truly values their employees.

I used to work in a PRU (kids who have been excluded or at risk of being excluded from school) I’ve actually dealt with a similar case to Jays legal case where 9 children attacked a disabled man on a bus in Eccles (most kids are from Brinington Stockport) due to the man’s death all served some time inside - if you google you’ll know case I’m talking about.

3 of those 9 kids after sentencing have turned their lives around - mainly due to work opportunities - some teens just need work so I’d agree with Jays employers

 

[Inspector Evans]

Mark Williams-Thomas, a former Metropolitan Police officer who helped in the search for Nicola Bulley, says the case should have been treated as a "critical incident" from the start, and says he needs to speak to two "key people" who would have last seen Slater.

"These are the two men that took Jay back to that holiday rental in the hills," he told a press conference in Tenerife this afternoon

Well yeah MWT but they're currently in that popular Tenerife resort of....Playa de las Luton.

So back on that plane you go and stop interfering with the Spanish investigation.

So that is Los Carrizales, where some people had said he may have mistakenly put into his maps app and headed to, instead of Los Cristianos.

After googling the place, it seems a lot of different activities go on , and holiday rentals, so not necessarily a quiet sleepy deserted place

Exactly so if he had headed in that direction, he would have been seen or caught on cctv. JMO.

The Spanish police are being very tight lipped about their investigation, which I appreciate we are not privy too. There must be so much more CCTV of JS on that night, especially around the busier areas of the strip and the nightclub he was in (i.e leaving the venue), walking to the car etc.

Jay Slater: Spanish authorities remain silent on missing teen while online conspiracies reach fever pitch

A multi-agency effort is one of the defining features of this search for the 19-year-old, who has been missing since 17 June. Another is the reluctance of those agencies to comment.

Is there a video of MWTs presser anywhere?

 

[Hazza_197]

According to MWT’s presser neither of the men were believed to have been in attendance at NRG. Instead meeting outside of the venue.

Was that picture ever made public? Or has only Lucy seen it?

Another posted in this thread reverse google image searched also and quickly found the property. Also there are a limited number of air bnbs in Masca which is a tiny mountain village, I don’t think it’s a big deal imo.

 

[chimpface]

As far as I'm aware the two blokes were spoken to by Police unless anyone can dispute that.

You can't hold people forever, they are witnesses at this point. This is Spain no Russia.

I can see why MWT is an ex police officer. He's a dangerous loose cannon imo.

 

[Pseudonymph]

Regarding these alleged sightings, if he phoned Lucy in the morning he would have found a way to phone her later if he could. I don't see any grand conspiracy here.

 

[Herat]

Wow that was very interesting and WM-T comes off as deliberate, credible, and organized.

His comments about how he is going to find the two men from the guest house cannot be making the Guardia very happy. He's about to get into a problematic area of possibly exposing the two people , who were witness to his activities and behaviours prior to disappearance, to the beast of social media, when the Guardia no doubt are trying to collect any and all usable evidence on anyone that would stand up in any court proceeding or lawsuit.

I admire his intent but I don't like his threats of exposure and how he is operating outside of the limits of responsibility of LE.

The two men aren't POIs. That status can only be given by the police, not a random member of the public (MWT). If he names, or releases a picture of the two men then i hope they sue him!!
Jmo, moo

Perhaps they had a falling out and that’s the main reason he’s gone off? Broken heart? Thought they were going to hook up on holiday but she ended up with another bloke? Perhaps that lead to an argument and that’s why he decided to leave the club and get away from his group of friends. Maybe the conversation in the morning was him calling to apologise for the argument and saying something along the lines of “don’t worry you won’t see me again”.

 

[Furore]

W M-T has a god complex imho. Why anyone of any calibre would think it’s appropriate to publically expose and endanger two -witnesses- which doesn’t help Jay anyway, or the police - goes to prove further he’s after clout and clickbait and as Bluebear says, clear why he is no longer in law enforcement, he needs to give his head a wobble.
