They could, especially in extreme heat, but imagine if it was one of your relatives and you were desperate to find them.
I'm surprised they haven't done one before now. It's usually one of the first things the family does when someone goes missing. Also offering a reward, no matter how small. JMO.
What we think of as 'normal' behaviour by family and police... press conferences, appeals, rewards... are very specific to a handful of English speaking countries, and not done in much of the rest of the world.
Totally agree with this. When there's so many theories flying around, going back to the start can reveal something that was overlooked at the time.

Agree that it’s great to revisit what we know from the start. Thank you for posting this.*it's sometimes helpful to go back to the beginning when additional information has since come forth
Debbie added: “Police have been into Jay’s room today. I’ve been in his room as well. But everything of Jay's was neatly hung up, it’s just a normal room and there’s nothing untoward there.
“His passport was there along with all his euros which I’ve got now. I’m not sure he had any money on him when he made that last call to his friend Lucy on Monday morning before he vanished.
“But he had his bank card and I’ve checked his bank because I can get into his account online and there’s nothing gone out since he was on Veronica’s Strip in Playa de Las Americas earlier.
“He and his friend Brad who he flew out here with would have been getting up tomorrow and flying home. They had a flight tomorrow morning. I’ve got the tickets as well as Jay’s passport which has had a stop put on it by the British authorities before they knew it was in my possession.
“Brad’s going to stay now. No-one’s going to go to the airport just in case Jay turns up there because I know for a fact he would have been in contact with someone and won’t be suddenly reappearing there without warning.
Police raid missing Jay Slater's apartment as mum sent terrifying message
Officers have searched the room he was sharing with a friend at a three-star apartment complex in Los Cristianoswww.manchestereveningnews.co.uk
I think it is more frustration on the familys part. With all the theories speculation etc etc it must be horrible for them.
Agree.
Maybe, knowing her son, she doesnt think its outside the realms of possibility…she would knows his type, how impressionable he may not be etc Essentially she has a much better idea than us-and as she has said shes been and worked there. She had that discussion with him already too so in her head shes no doubt kicking herself…the seed was planted.
I do feel really sorry for the family. Having a child missing is every parents nightmare. It happening Abroad is horrific,
I believe it was reported the consulate was helping them. I think this is another inconsistency in the case, I vividly remember saying the consulate was keeping them briefed, but now all we hear from the family is how they have no clue what’s going on.
I'm sure if the parents were told to keep information about their son being still alive they would keep it private especially if they were told it could jeopardise Jay's life to reveal to anyone outside of themselves they are using the press to keep jay prominent in people's minds so he is not just another number on a missing list I'm sure they would be smart enough to know when to keep quiet too do you not think
The most likely theory imho. Even if his phone went from 1% to 0% after last ping he could have carried on for a few hours, searching for him is not like looking for a needle in a haystack but a needle in a whole field of haystacks
Yes that’s the problem I can see - he may have left the road but he could have rejoined it and then gone on a different path completely - he could realistically be anywhere. JMO.
Do you think perhaps jay is being held somewhere for his own safety by friends of ayub maybe jay reclaimed a watch that had already been stolen and not just robbed off some random person and before the gangsters came a knocking ayub got him offside without been seen maybe ophelia is in on the cover up as she doesn't want any damage to come to her property ..I need to stop watching crime dramas
Jay Slater search update as Spanish police theory sparks fresh hope
Spanish police investigating Jay Slater's disappearance have released a new update after the 19-year-old vanished after a music festival in Tenerife on June 17.www.express.co.uk
A source close to the case told the Mirror that investigators are still hoping to find the 19-year-old alive and are not working on the basis he was "missing feared dead".
Renewed hope? I wonder who "the source close to the case" is? Can this even be trusted?
Lets say Jay is alive...what theories do we have? Is that even something we are allowed to discuss? Apologies if not...
But we only have Lucy who has also told us he was off the road? The only other person who spoke to him was Brad and he was next to the road then as he saw him step over the bollards."I just think he's being held against his will," Duncan said. "He's not a stupid lad. He wouldn't have gone walking down bloody mountains.
"There's a road there with tourists and buses and properties, He's not that daft."
