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

What would be the purpose of searching his room back at his hotel if he didn’t make it there? Just wondering honestly. Or are they just eliminating all lines of enquiry?

Checking possible criminal links?
Police know what they are doing.
They are professionals after all.

Agreed. In other unrelated instances it is common to check the residence of suspects for clues - accommodation is the closest thing. MOO: e.g hidden drugs, sniffer dogs to investigate suitcase or clothing for same, alternative burner phones that some criminal elements use - even for signs of a break in and tussle in case he was randomly back at his room and abducted! Also for clothing that can be given for search dogs to scent

Hope it didn’t come across as me doubting the police. I was just genuinely curious

To determine what he had on his person maybe.

Spot on. I agree (and have lived) all of the above. Sadly I don’t think there is any great mystery here - I think he’s just got into trouble in tricky terrain.

The 'mystery' is is location which is what we're trying to figure out.

probably searching for paperwork, clues that he might have contacts on the island, things like that..

I can't say I'm surprised it's gone. I'm not sure how sensible it is to post something that's such a bombshell but simultaneously provides no info and probably just fuels rampant speculation.

I hope there's been some movement tonight though in any case.

 

[FlyingEgg]

I can still see the post on the Facebook page about a possible lead

The 'mystery' is is location which is what we're trying to figure out.

Locations are nailed on as best they can be as to where he was, last ping, last known location and the festival. Can’t do any more other than mind read where he is ? How do you mean ? Sorry if I’m missing your point ?

WHOA !! Websleuths doesn't exist to badmouth or critique social media. Please get back to discussing the case at hand, not the administration or activities going on at the FB page.

So JS went back to this apartment with 2 new friends 'in the early hours'. Cigarette photo taken at around 7.30am, then shortly afterwards left to catch a bus back.
So Jay was only there for a few hours at most. Just pondering out loud...

New CCTV gives teen's family fresh hope as search reaches grim milestone - live

Jay Slater, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, disappeared following an attempt to walk back to his accommodation after missing a bus, after the NRG music festival in Tenerife

www.mirror.co.uk

The mum of missing teen Jay Slater says she has been sent a vile Snapchat message saying 'kiss goodbye to your boy'.

Debbie Duncan says she was sent the sick message after landing in Tenerife, claiming she would never see her son again and that he'd owed someone "a lot of money". Speaking on Wednesday, Debbie said: “There’s no ransom demand come in yet but I got a Snapchat about 10 minutes after I got off the plane saying ‘Kiss goodbye to your boy, you’re never going to see him again, he owes me a lot of money.’ which I passed on to police with the number it came from because I had my wits about me at the time and got my eldest son Zac to take a screen grab before it disappeared."

I also find this strange.

Maybe Spanish police operate differently but over here I doubt they’d search an apartment unless they believed something possibly sinister had possibly gone on.

Look at unsolved cases in the UK such as Jack Sullivan his house hasn’t been searched.

From the media coverage (especially for a male) I get the impression they dont think this is as clear cut as him being dehydrated and succumbing to the conditions

Scary message - but on Snapchat I can only see privacy options to allow yourself to be contacted by “Friends and Contacts” at most. So either the messager has Debbie’s account added as a friend, or they are in each other’s contact lists?

Also AFAIK Snapchat messages are sent from a username, not a phone number.
