I don't know why they'd need permission from Scotland Yard either. There's no criminal investigation so the family can fly in a team if they like. John Tossell's family did when he went missing in Zante.
Scottish Mountain Rescue are 100% a real organisation. But they have neither the resources nor the time to fly out a team to a foreign country to help search for an individual, British Citizen or not.

There's no evidence of any crime being committed at present. The watch hasn't been reported stolen and for the time being, Jay is still a missing person and has not been pronounced dead.
The problem with this is we only have Brad and Lucys accounts of phone calls with Jay . There have been many inconsistencies in Lucys accounts so far. IMO they cannot be relied on as facts
The person I really want to hear from is this American tourist that allegedly offered Lucy a lift to Masca. I'm surprised nobody had traced them yet.
Thank you. I knew that there were many volunteer run rescues, but didn't realise that they all came under an umbrella organisation.Any Hour, Any Day, Any Weather - Scottish Mountain Rescue
Scottish Mountain Rescue represents 25 volunteer Mountain Rescue Teams (including two Search and Rescue Dog Associations (SARDA), Scottish Cave Rescue Organisation and the Search And Rescue Aerial Association – Scotland (SARAA – Scotland) with over 850 volunteers.
Qassim remained tight-lipped over his thoughts on exactly what has happened to Jay, and simply said: "Everyone knows each other. I'm not going to slander anyone. He's a cool guy, Jay. He ain't got a problem with me, I haven't got a problem with him or his mates. We just all talk to each other and everything was sweet."

At local bars on the strip. Not the club where the rave was held which was also on the strip
Yes your response is logical but remember Jay had just been partying/raving/etc for three days straight, probably didn't get much sleep, may have been drinking rather a lot. Hardly approaching things rationally, which of course may explain why - whatever did or didn't happen at the Airbnb - he decided to hike back to his apartment rather than wait for a bus or seek help from locals.
Ten hours away from where he's staying with two men who are a decade and more older and when they are both due to check out and fly home the following morning...?
I agree, I just pierced it together from what has been presented to the public. There's the woman who allegedly saw him outside when asking about bus times. Witness accounts also do not always have to be reliable or correct. I remember there was a case with Rebecca Reusch in Germany who went missing and a woman said she 100% saw her on the bus with a blanket that day. This was part of the investigation they then researched. Eventually they got CCTV from the bus and she was never there.
.. happens all the time..
Its suspicious though, no?
No, it specifically said the Scottish Police, not Scotland Yard.
