- Specially trained dogs are arriving in Tenerife as the search for missing British teenager Jay Slater continues.
Police confirmed to the BBC that new resources had been brought in to help find the 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, England.
The Guardia Civil, whose ground searches had concentrated on the area where his last mobile phone signal was traced, said their efforts "are not being scaled back".

Hope he's found soon, cannot imagine what his family are going through ❤
Agreed to "found soon"Amen&Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Isn’t it just a little bit strange that both parents when they arrived in the country asked whoever has him to give him back?
Yes,why would they think that strange, although he has been in a gang
Denial.
His mum got a tex saying " kiss your boy goodbye he owes me a lot of money "
He probably robbed that man’s rolex and got caught
Truly a bizzare case.
Not really, got wrecked got lost. It happens
Lucy isn't telling all she knows
Why do the media insist on calling him a teenager? He's not a kid he's 19 that makes him an adult. He's a gang member convicted of a machete attack and has a drug habit. His family put up a GoFundMe less than 10 hours after he went missing withdrawn 36,000 of it to fly 18 family and neighbours to Tenerife and none of them have looked for him. Just sat in the bar and slagged off the Spanish Police. How many children and adults that don't attack ppl with machetes, don't take drugs go missing in the UK every year and wheres the media coverage? Where are the Police and public searches?
Where do you get this information of hum being a gang member convicted of a machete attack who takes drugs?
He was convicted on a joint enterprise charge in 2021. He was part of an 8 strong mob who attacked another young man with various weapons including a machete and a golf club. The victim was left with injuries to his head,shoulders and legs. His skull had been exposed in one of the head wounds.
Some people from his home area have spoken out about his recreational drug use which isn't that uncommon for his age group in the UK. I can't vouch for his partying ways 100% but the machete attack is a matter of public record and is irrefutably factual.
He may never be found ever again. That could be possible . Vanished from the face of the earth and he aint the only one either many do around the world .
Many Prayers for Jay.. & his MuM and DaD.. from California USA
Someone took him by force, for sure. Lord protect him. Prays for him please . 😢
I don’t think he’ll ever be found
Until all the money has been spent from the honest and caring public
This is very strange. This disappearence.
police investigation needed instead of search
Not without a body or conclusion of what's happened to him 🤦 stop the crap the drug run was debunked and a stupid rumour 🤦 £30k debt but gets paid 75k a month?.do the math!!
How do you investigate without a body? Tired of morons talking nonsense.
@gibbo822 maybe the truth is somewhere In the middle and if involved in something illegal he is is deliberately hiding, more likely in a built up area not the remote area he went silent. If he was genuinely lost on the mountain I expect they would have found him by now.
@@swyatt360you have no understanding of the terrain, they will find his body soon, that's why they brought in the dogs.
@@swyatt360 the doctor that was missing the other week was missing for a week or two and they knew and found him on the route he took!!
So no he wouldn't be found that easily!!
Something in the middle? The drug muling has been debunked, Scottish guy gave an interview, he said jay was wasted his friends were trying to look after him!
Drug mules don't get high as they need to be on alert!! Also they move drugs not sell them 😂
I wonder how his family is going through the weeks of Jay dissapearance,it is very sad and painful,we pray mighty God to make unbelievable miracle that Jay be found alive,Amen&Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The question is how honest are these people.really being? No-one wants bad publicity when running any type of business which can easily be destroyed. I am awfully upset for his poor family especially his mother... I pray for missing people....
He was never where they have been looking.think its foul play or a scam.
Little armchair detective. How do you know sure you've got piles of evidence and have done a thorough investigation .
@@liam208 They literally searched everywhere around that area and beyond, with volunteers joining the search looking into caves and etc. it has been 10 DAYS and you tell me they couldn't find a single clue while searching that area? Something's not right.
@@spiritsoother9030 Wouldn't say it was a scam.
@@liam208and you seem
To no better 😂
@@liam208it might be a scam £30.000 been raised on go fund me ….not sure …we will see
how far could he logically have got
Space
This is what I'm wondering now. Like realistically how tf haven't they found even a body or a shoe or anything?
Probably not very far, the heat really slows you down. Plus he might do something stupid, due to being disoriented from lack of water and intense heat.
Dehydrated after a night out, with the sun coming up. I'd say he was within 1hr walk from the picture, if he sent it
wonder why other 2 men doesn't come forward for helping to find Jay...???
they're back in UK
@@oldmanonamotorbikeinbucks7604 they obviously wasn’t short of money look
at the accommodation and they was responsible for taking him in the middle of nowhere you think they would have stayed and helped it’s odd to me
He nicked a rolex from 2 men
@@gillianlaing1073 is that a fact though I see all these fake looking screenshots of messages I don’t believe he was in a state to even think of crime.
@420cropper Alright quite cheap don’t you think their behaviour as a whole is odd they drive him up there and let him go I feel bad vibes, so they drove back I believe so you would think one of them would have been sober enough to make sure he got his bus or a cab or drive him back I think there is more to know here, they brought him there so they was partly responsible knowing how out of it he looked they had a responsibility to him at that point
The parents need to do a press conference,
Yes i said this
agree.
News just in...his mother cashed in the Go-Fund money! This is Fri 1.30am UK time.
If he's wasting police time, then he should be charged.
And if not your comment won't age well 😳
Hes not wasting police time hes gone missing n needs to be found .
Why would you go home with 2 strangers in a foreign land? Dodgy
and why would two older men take a teenager up into the mountains?
At the end of a night out like that, if you head off with two strange men, you're either going to have sex with them or do more drugs with them. It's not for tea and cakes
Legit, something don’t app up. He went to the other side of a foreign island, in the middle of nowhere with two complete strangers, after a night of being at a festival presumably boozing and taking drugs… and they’re saying he’s ’street smart’… idc no logical person would do anything remotely like this
Drugs
Drugs,only a viable reason to go off with 2 strangers
Why havnt they questioned the two British lads from the rental
I thought the police had spoken to the two men that he was staying with on Sunday night/Monday morning 🤔 So if that is true then surely the police would know a bit more about why he was there, what they were doing, and why he might have left in such a hurry rather than wait at that accommodation for the bus ... the bus stop was literally right outside the window he would have been able to see it arriving from inside the accommodation. Also, why would he not charge his phone there before leaving ... someone is not right about it. The police definitely know more than they're saying 🤫
He was only there a couple of Hours ,Was this a Stash house did these guys take his stash
@@karenrogers9034 The reason for him being there must be drug related I feel like. The footage of him at the festival on Sunday night/Monday morning shows him so out of it he was 100% on something his face says it all unfortunately. But what reason does a 19 year old have to go off with two strangers to the other side of the island, especially when one of those men was 40 years old. And why would he rush off so quickly that he couldn’t charge his phone at their house or grab a drink of water if he was so thirsty. Maybe everything Lucy said is not accurate, but something is SO FISHY 😭
agreed. a lot of leads are no doubt being followed up and the main investigation is about figuring out who else is involved and how. the body search is just a small part of the puzzle, just one step to confirm how the story ended.
You are applying logic to the situation. He was definitely knackered and very likely off his head on booze / drugs. That is why he made choices that defy any logic
@@veroniquehill9314I know it sounds wild but could he have been drugged on purpose because although he has been out to endeavour to walk 10 hours is like mentally gone material not just a bit high, I think the way the two just went back home is bizarre I would stayed there and helped if I was with someone and knew they had gone missing I would be devastated even if they didn’t do anything wrong to drive him up there and leave him to get a bus with a flat phone off his head seems really weird.
We should keep some of these children in school till they are 21 years old
Fascist
I agree, younger people nowadays aren't maturing at the same rate as they did before.
Silky statement guess I'm a black fascist then. Screw all these made up man made corrupted systems.
Getting bored now ….the family keep saying they want him back and try and force the tears ..so fed up ….
If he was free, he would be found quite quickly. I don’t think that he would be going up on the mountains...
I hope he's found safe 😮😮
He's found the safe and it contains all the GoFundMe money.
He isnt a child and should be capable of going on holiday. Many young people are not aware of distance and surroundings they rely on their mobile phones too much. Why didnt he just wait for a bus like most people would have done. They seem to be putting a lot of effort into finding this man for some reason
These kids are strangely sheltered. They know nothing outside a very narrow urban radius and he'd not see this as any different from tipping out after spending the night with mates. At that age, you get up and go.
Except urban small-town is a whole other class from rough terrain in exposed altitude. Sadly.
They are also severely RETARDED. Lose their internet connection they forget how to breath or think or do anything
3/4 days with no water or food and he’s a goner with next to no doubt, triple that and it’s a definite
10 days 😱Best wishes to the family, there is still hope
He's dead don't be naive
With no food and water? If he's still alive then he's either hiding or kidnapped.
There is no hope and Bob Hope
Unless he was eating some cactus, probably not.
He's not where they're searching hes being held at a different point on the island where he was probably murdered
call the police
@@dmgsoultogetherness6667 Masca has a very secluded bay.
🙏💙Praying he’s found soon 😢And for his family 🙏❤xx
@chrisfryer7728let ppl have they opinion mate
@chrisfryer7728 I sincerely hope nothing like this ever happens to ur family or close friends in the future
Sighted watching football ⚽️, very dodgy.....
If nothing is found. They're looking in the wrong area?
Don’t do drugs kids . This is what happens
Don't be stupid.cause drugs can cause people to act like you..
What a complete waste of time.
The woman is lying and jay was never there. Only his mobile phone. He is 11 km from that location. Searching in the wrong area. Something obviously very fishy.
He took pictures in the are and uploaded them onto snapchat and was also spotted by the neighbour near the air BnB.
@@HayleyGardening22 yes. Thats what some woman said. Supposedly.
@@latinokid33What reason would the local woman have to make it up? Ffs lol.
@@Charizarzar confused she must be. Will see.
or he was there and something happened that would be bad for business
They seem to be enjoying their holiday
He never went to the bus stop thats a lie. Did Lucy show us the picture that Jay sent her. Tell her we want to see that..I bet you it doesn't exist..she's lying
What picture
So the womanwho owns the cafe and is an eye witness is lying?
@@ericambler486 eh,Lucy is his friend
Teenager,he's 19. If he was 13 or 14 you'd be saying "13yr old" "14yr old". Alot of sneaky gaslighting in media.
What
So is 19 not a teenager?
Nine-TEEN. UDAFC.
I fully get your point, when someone is young teens they state the age, when someone is very late teens the sympathy drops off so they just say "teenager". Old journo tricks of the trade.
How is it gaslighting when he is literally a teenager ?
But if he was staying with those people he met at the concert, what do they have to say is my question?
Why didn’t they drive him back? They just let him walk off into nowhere? I think the tourists he met are suspish.
He stole from them,a rolex
he is a thug, went to a rave, went home with two men he didn't know. Those raves are huge for drugs and hook ups. seems without his machete he isn't much of a tough guy
Get a grip of yourself soft lad, it's still someone's son, people make mistakes and people change. Probably not so perfect yourself.
Yer that’s what I think, and apparently people are donating MONEY begs belief
Can I just say tom the guy who he attacked was also extremely violent and a really vile guy
Go fund me is disgusting
This guy was still under the influence if whatever he took only a few hrs before hand he was not thinking clear for sure
Danke meine herr
I think he is dead either fell off the mountain or was picked up in a car? Wrong car! Also lady near bus stop she saw him rushing away from the place he stayed at? Why and why would 2 older guys take him to that place, they need to be thoroughly questioned Now! It was like he did not want wait for a bus but wanted leave that place fast!
My first thought were he was abducted! There's a lot of mentally sick people in this world! God be with this young man.
He’s been held hostage! They need to check the houses near by
What's waste of money.......
One thing for shore he isn't where they are looking
Sure*
Are you implying he'll be found washed up on the shore?
At this point calling him missing is naive. He's either died from natural causes in the mountains, has been kidnapped or is in hiding for whatever reason. Hope they find him soon for the sake of his family
I believed he died of natural causes, but at this point I'm wondering bc how come no body has been found? They've been searching the same area for over a week with teams of specialists. You'd expect them to find at least one of his belongings or something. But not a single trace.
show me the money,,
He gone gone
Why have reports said that he is been see by locals watching Euro 24 then .
Nonsense
I wonder what amount of money Jay and his mum have agreed to hit before all of it is withdrawn and Jay then suddenly reappears.
If he cut his leg why hasnt the dogs picked anything up yet .... fishy to me .... screams scam or set up
Hes dead,no one can survive without water 💧 he nicked something from 2 men,thats why they didnt give him a lift back
Why didn't he just wait for the bus ?
@brianmccloskey8575 yes that would be the no one question?
@@brianmccloskey8575to late for that now
Case closed. Thanks chief
Even if he is dead why they can’t find his body? If there is no body then no evidence that he is dead.
Jay Slater to make an appearance at the Euros final 33/1
No Scotland are out save your money
Headlining Glasto
@michaeljones1445 another waste of money.
pitch invader
England will be home before Jay
Maybe don't be drunk AF without a charged mobile... That is just the basics. Also don't go to shady places... That is it
You were,never young then
Why are they not treating this as a murder or kidnapping? He was last seeing with two strange men. I hope he is alive but what if there is signs of his remains in a house or a backyard. Why focus only on the terrain??
His mother knows something wait and see 👀
She knew that her son is in danger...
What about the boat that went off radar during the time of his disappearance.. and where his last location was pinged? Is anyone looking into this?
Why have the police there, not heald a press interview?
Different country different rules, they aren’t obliged to like UK are
@@fynleyireland3788 ahhhh ty 😊
It’s been widely reported for years that residents of Tenerife dislike the English. They hate how the tourists are so unruly and drunk, never want to eat local cuisine etc which effects their culture and lifestyles. I’m sure the Guardia Civil and Tenerife officials are even more pissed off now that the island will be known as the place where a tourist went missing and probably died. I’m guessing they don’t want to bring more attention to it, especially considering the rising discussions of drugs and crime on the island.
This is a big con just for the money.
So how does that work?
@@jono1457-qd9ft Go fund me?
Why are they spending so much time on this 1 guy; Aren’t there a ton of people who go missing, who don’t get this kind of publicity?
Here is the person who follows two countries now. We want to know what happened to him.
The reporter says the search dogs can get where people on 2 legs can’t, so why would Jay be there if humans can’t get there 🤦🏼
Fallen down a ravine, you silly
Don't think he is there.
10 days with no water no hope
@@gillianlaing1073 no i mean i think they shipped him out of the country
Any chance he got a lift from someone??
Then he could be anywhere!!
He was in Tenerife to celebrate not going to jail for a machete and axe attack on a young man. Let that sink in.
Have they not spoken to the 2 men he went up there with?
Apparently so, - questioned, released and back in England
They want their rolex back
That what you can see over his shoulder is the island of la Gomera😮
they searchen the wrong ireland?
At least they found Scottish hiker same and well
It's summer time. Journalists do their annual on going news story of a missing kid. This will go on until August.
Hardly a kid or innocent, I was 18,first holiday abroad, didn't wonder off with 2 strangers
Never used the word innocent. 18 is still a kid. Becoming adult. I really couldn’t care less anyway, people go missing all the time. And so what if they went with two strangers, it’s really not that weird a thing to do. News are just trying to make a story because the summer period is always slow.
News flash...Mum just emptied the go-fund...Fri 1.30am UK time. Getting interesting. I thought the fund had been put on hold.
What I can’t understand is these two men drove him up there so why didn’t they take him back instead they let him walk off, alone with a flat phone out of his head. Also the woman who owns this air bnb said she told him three times the way to go then coincidentally one hour later she is driving up the mountain and see’s jay walking the wrong way but didn’t b stop to help him??? That is odd.
Also how did Lucy find this place she said she looked it up and found the same floor tiles from the photons sent, I thought she said he went off with to black guys from London but these two are From Luton there a few odd things going I feel like he might have been caught up in something, I don’t know what.
I thought this too, why didn't the woman, air bnb owner, who saw him offer him a lift back to the resort?
@@weezydee4452I don’t think he was some drug dealer but something odd has happened the behaviour of the two men and woman no sense to me.
Surely the police should be talking to these men again it’s almost like they fled but they have the names
Look at what he's wearing jn the cigarette pic. Looks like a dress
@@brads1336 or is that someone opposite him I need to look again it’s all crazy a I think some truth will come out how did Lucy find that place she said she looked and found accommodation there with the same tiles it takes some doing I was thinking the pic was upside down and someone was opposite it I think that was him. But I think it’s the right way up
@seanmwh yeah I didn't look at like that tbh, but yeah the location is an 11hour walk away so he got a lift and then left after 1 45mins what's the point?
The guys who rented the air bnb apparently 'worked' regularly in Tenerife. They should be questioned about this... They would know how to conceal a murder/body, they would know to rent an air bnb miles from anywhere last minute... I hope UK police are on this guy and his reasons for regularly 'working' in Tenerife..
that lady O.hernandez does not own that property, her brother does. He is the convicted ex Mayor Ramon M.Caraves.
what3words location = Drugs/Chav/BBCBS
(0;
The British Authorities should pay the Bill for such an intense search abroad - It IS ONLY Fair Under the dodgy circunstancies .
British authorities = British tax payer
Spain refused help from the police
@Charizarzar as they should. We have no right to impute our cops, our S&R are superior. They don't know the terrain, have a language barrier and all the rest. Likewise, this poor lady being excoriated for not picking him up when no woman in her right mind picks up hikers. Especially young male ones from a country famous for letting loose their worst on every resort every bloody year.
So nice to have Martina Croxall back! ❤❤❤🎉x
I don't get why a go fund me was started wink wink
People have being missing for years
In tenerife 11 in the last six months.
Children reported gone.
Never to be found
😅
the children who have gone missing have been abdcuted by the parent - parental abduction
I bet none of them got 30k go fund me
Would have thought by now raptors would have found a body, otherwise how could he physically leave the island?
I think he was picked up,,,
By 2 men,at club
@@gillianlaing1073 no,, in the morning,,, after the apparent call to Lucy, after he was seen walking in the wrong direction,,it was said he headed ‘UP’ instead of ‘down’ to where he was staying,,, did he try n find the place he’d been with the two men the previous night?
He might want to run from bad people
@@daliamalinauskaite7370 🤷♀️
I could understand if he walked up to the view point to maybe get a lift from anyone heading back to the village, but walking off into the wilderness? sorry but thats a real stretch, what would the point be in that, uk lad much more likey to try and hitch a lift i would think
Bet he's only a hour or two frim that b and b that's usually the case sadly
What a lovely place Tenerife looks 🌴
It's a dump, worst holiday i've ever been on
Love it great place to holiday in winter
Mixed comments here 😊
@@JOHNTHEWHISKcop yourself on would you
@@JOHNTHEWHISK fantastic island apart from the veronicas strip
Lost case as he is dead
I would differ re his family have no idea. It is what it is.
He was seen watching football in the village
He may have died of an overdone at the house he went back to and the 2 blokes hid his body under rocks or in a cave to escape prosecution...?
Wasn't he seen leaving the house and walking away by that woman that told him about bus times though? Wouldn't police have already searched that house as well?
😢😢😢
This story just not make sense at all she knows where he is so does that lucy these 2 people should be took in and police should get the truth out of them both and stop with the lies as its all fake she dont seem to care about her son at all if you did you be out look for him and not stood there on video
Maybe this , maybe that , maybe this , maybe that
Something is happening there ... a few people have been missing this year ..
It looks suspicious
To anyone dealing with depression or feeling low, don’t give up on life, no matter what bad things happened in your past, don’t let them define you or control your destiny, you are all important and loved!, there is hope for all of us!
Jesus loves you all ✝️, get to know God through Christ 📖
Only reason i can see him going up hill is him walking to the next bus stop! walk to the next stop when waiting for a bus is something i used to do as a kid
as a kid, did you also walk in the opposite direction to the where the bus stop is, as indicated by the neighbour?
Like the reporter said, that's a remote, rural area where he was last seen, with a single bus service to the touristic South of the island every 2 hours. Not central London precisely, where you can walk 300m to the next stop if you miss your bus and don't fancy waiting in the same spot until the next one arrives.
@@duncansmith7562 why would I walk away from where the bus is coming from? I would walk to the stop the bus is going to get to first, im guessing the bus would be coming down? Is there only 1 bus that does that route?
Also, no buses on the mountains where he was last seen heading. Why he didn't stick to the road, even if he was unprepared enough to think walking back to Los Cristianos (an 11 hour walk) was a good idea, it's anyone's guess.
The road heading in the right direction from Masca - South East - is immediately steep with lots of hairpins. The road in the other direction less so. Maybe that explains his choice?
Given his hungover / high condition I think he would just have kipped on a bench in Masca waiting for the bus. Whatever the reason for going there with the 2 men, I think when it got light he had enough about him to want to put distance between himself and them.
Wonder how they got form the club to Masca? It's a long taxi ride
If I was a detective check they guys he was with last, hire car check mileage on said car.... before they drove airport did they drive somewhere else....
Oh 10 days😭 best wishes to the family
It's most likely that he isn't alive right now.
Rip jay 😢
❤
Little michael will one day be 50.
Penny as you know- Lucy now has a new very disturbing TikTok account & we also have the 2 names of the guys who supposedly took Jay to Masca. That pic of Jay with Debbie also has Zak on it-that bit is photoshopped- that pic of Zak replaced pic of Brandon Hodgson.
Off road around mountaines rocky cliff area,follow the dog's they will show directions. And alive what I saw in my vision from Ethiopia Jay is there.
