She was also contacted directly by some people and was sent mocked-up images, including a fake picture of her son being tortured. “The first week was all a blur,” she said. “I was in a hotel room in Tenerife and looking for Jay – and I was getting terrorised by trolls.”
Duncan and her son Zac have compiled details of those who did not hide their numbers; while many were based in the UK, some messages came from as far away as Australia and the US.
“There were calls with people saying: ‘We know where Jay is, he’s done this, he’s done that,’” she said. “Some were from people screaming Jay’s name or saying he had been stabbed on a beach. And, oh, my God, the stories, they were just unreal. Absolutely unreal. People were saying: ‘He’s in a hole, he’s chained up.’
“It was just disgusting, absolutely disgusting. I wouldn’t wish it upon anybody, the torment that I’ve had to go through, and that I’m still going through.”
She said the family were “sucked into” some of the conspiracy theories, clinging on to any hope Slater was still alive
