slowly, the penny is dropping with the media that Jay's disappearance is no big deal in Tenerife, but an investigation that reveals lurid details of teenage drug gangs, thefts and violence must be avoided at all costs.
Been thinking that for a few days. Last thing Spanish police want is too much attention on their little island and imagine if the UK police were poking around in their operation too! That place sounds like a cesspit.
Have you not considered the fact that the Spanish police are not stupid…..they probably know far more about this very suspicious and shady case than is being released!! That Lucy probably knows one hell of a lot more than she is telling!! Why are you not discussing the alleged stabbing incident with a hysterical Lucy screaming as a man limps away.. Jay’s leg wasn’t injured by a cactus…..not unless they suddenly grow knife blades instead of spikes!
Exactly I lay money on it and she probably went and picked him up!! And that cctv footage was apparently a day after he went missing and she was screaming you didn’t say you was gonna stab him!! Then she screamed ohh fuck I’m sorry what do I do then she screams jay jay but makes no attempt to go after him as he limps away.. and now she’s nowhere to be seen and gone very quiet!! Maybe the police have her… but they are real tight lipped and don’t give nothing away!! And I do believe that this is definitely over drugs and that jay got so high on the drugs he was meant to be selling and then went and lost the bag with the rest of the drugs and whatever money he had made!! He really messed up and we all know that’s not gonna end well… she already started to distance herself from him when she reported him as missing she claims she left the event early and went back to the apartment on her own as she was tried and it wasn’t until the morning she got a call from him saying he was lost and he then probably told her that he had lost the bag with whatever drugs and money he had left!! The police ain’t idiots and she’s in this up to her eyeballs i think the mum knows as well but they can’t just hand the money over
Apparently the beach video was footage from a TV show from 2008 and was shown as a witness appeal backthen. So they've probably researched it and found that out themselves. Some report called Isla has supposedly said that video has nothing to do with Jay
Why give a press conference if there's nothing to be said. The British police give conferences and generally say nothing. They have completed a search on the basis of the information provided. He wasn't found. End of story.
@@englishrupe01I saw on the news about a week ago and his dad was handing out missing posters in English and Spanish. Like everyone else we have no idea what has happened but I don’t think slagging off the Spanish authorities will help anyone.
In these circumstances, it'd be reasonable to suspect a crime had been committed but the Spanish police don't seem to want to go there....for some reason.
@@johnparry3475 in my experience, the Spanish authorities don’t mess about. They’ve done all they can so far. I agree with you. Approximately 12 years ago on holiday in Andalusia, we were attending a village fiesta. We lost sight of our young son during a foam party. We immediately notified one of the many Guardia Civil and they instantly locked down all of the surrounding roads/access points. They were extremely concerned and very efficient. Thankfully we located our son. He was safe but scared. We were so grateful for their professionalism and their swift response.
Instead of slagging off the Spanish police why aren't the British media raising questions over his supposed friend Lucy's statement and the speed with which she started the go fund me page. She's hiding something. Why did Brad wait almost a fortnight before claiming he spoke to Jay? This clearly is not a straightforward missing person case.
That was the first instance of Brad, the friend who apparently witnessed a slip, telling anybody about it? That was only a couple of days ago? Are you sure it wasn't just the first time he spoke about it on camera? He must have made a police statement pretty soon after Jay was declared missing.
When a woman in bristol went missing the police and then the press jumped in and vilified an innocent elderly school teacher for weeks and essentially accused him of the crime, No doubt the Spanish police have no wish to allow the British media to do the same to these these guys who they've ruled out. Maybe these pundits could be asking how come a GFM was issued 5 seconds after the guy went "missing".
I'm Spanish and I can confirm our police NEVER holds press conferences (especially when the case is still ongoing). I always found super weird how the American police would hold press conferences as soon as a crime is committed, potentially giving away important information to the culprit, even if theythink they are not giving away any key detail. I've always found it too "Hollywoodesque" and pointless, and, as you brought with your example, it may even lead to publicly point the finger on an innocent person.

Come on if this happened to a Spanish person in the uk could you imagine Spanish police popping over here to help out in the mountains if this was being run by British police !
Yeh, if it was a Chinese bloke would Chinese police need to search, or someone from Argentina, people fly over from South America etc? They have no knowledge of the terrain , might get into trouble and need hand holding.
As someone who has been into true crime for the past 15 years, the possibilities of what happened to this young man are endless, and to be honest, nothing will shock me anymore. He could wander off and died of exposure, but he could as well be kidnapped by drug dealers or simply hiding in plain sight. From what I've seen, there have been a lot of people that went missing from there recently, and none of those people got media exposure like this young man. I think police did what they could, and I think they simply don't believe he is there or was there in the first place. I'm surprised as to why family haven't offered any reward money yet to make locals more involved.
Do you really think the Spanish police gives a toss with a teenage junkie drug dealer ? Imagine what our police would do with a foreign junkie drug dealer in this country?
Maybe the Guardia Civil in Tenerife,who no doubt know what they are doing on the island have not "gave up" because there not bothered. If I was lost there I would have total faith in them searching for me. The talk of tik tokers and you tubers etc getting in the way of them is ridiculous. Jays Dad appealed the other day for volunteers which included social media types to help in the search and six people, to there credit turned up to help even though the main stream media have said repeatedly that these armchair detectives have flown out and are disrupting the search efforts. They (Spanish police) might have thought like most others,why a 51 year old British experienced hiker with all the equipment etc was found by chance whilst searching for Jay. You would think with him being so experienced and being missing he would have more media interest than a lad who has been partying and phoned his mate and said he was lost but was trying to get back. He said he cut his leg,has anything been mentioned about sniffer dogs picking up a scent? The vastly experienced local police cannot come out and blatantly say this is not right so they have done the only other thing they can without saying so. I truly hope he is ok and found well whatever the reason for his disappearance.
Makes me sick that yet again British media criticise Police in other countries!! Remember a young missing British girls body was found up in the loft of her family home days into the search BY BRITISH POLICE!!! Hope annual British cops won't be in an annual jolly to Tenerife a large McCann saga!!
💯🎯 would our police accept help from foreigners who are insinuating that they are incompetent?? Just like the undercover cops off to the Euros on the premise of seeding out hooligans, lol!
The parents have done nothing, they want folk to help search but they can't haul their arses about to go search and the dad couldn't answer a simple question about the UK police going over there to help and he was completely rude and ignorant and just walked away without answering. A lot of foul crap being told in this mess.
I agree. Even if they couldn’t search the hillsides through being unfit, they could have hired/borrowed a gazebo and provided refreshments/snacks for those bothering to search. Aren’t the fire service part-time volunteers? Spaniards aren’t thick and I’m sure many are aware of how much money has been pouring into the go-fund-me.
@user-pw5ls9ti2j absolutely, they are really coming across as the stereotypical rude, ignorant, council estate brits and that's just not how the majority of us are, yet they're showing that and it's quite ahite seeing that much disrespectful behaviour when you're doing less than F**k-all to help.
Jays old man complained only 6 people turned up to help in the search but jays friends , mum and the other 17 family members who were flown out on the GFM money were nowhere to be seen . Probably sitting in the bar of their all inclusive hotel and on the phone to Jay saying “ you ok love , the police still think you are in the mountains “ 🤬🤬
@@LondonCabbie369 I'm pretty sure the young lad is actually missing (most likely d3ad), but I can't help laughing at that, imagining it as an episode from the show "Benidorm" LOL
I think the spanish police have looked for 2 weeks for a british tourist with no luck. Their procedures are vastly different to ours. No shade to them, but i think theyre over it.
What a disgusting report by these two slagging of all the Spanish rescue workers some which were local volunteers. These rescue workers are covering thousands of square meters of rough terrain. The UK Police couldn’t find Nicola Bulley in a stream only meters away from where she went missing! Oh and of course they went on TV saying she had a drink problem! Give me the Guardia any day . Perhaps report in the 5000 people still missing in the UK.
It’s a bit arrogant of Lancashire police to think they can do the search better…police just needed a week in the sun…stop assuming that the Spanish cops are in the wrong…they are much more accustomed to searching in that area than Lancashire police…also why do you think the police should tell you everything that they know…. You both come across as very jingoistic….
Maybe if they accepted some help they could carry on looking. Bit arrogant of you and the Spanish police to think they could do everything on their own. If they could they would have found him by now. So a young kid has to die just so your police can save face? You're a lunatic.
The police actually had to come out and say that the two men they interviewed are not suspects and are not suspected of any wrongdoing... Not that they're irrelevant. I keep hearing leading language such as 'they took Jay to a remote air bnb'. He went willingly, he wasn't abducted by them and he had met them days before. Not total strangers. So many people are adamant that they had something to do with it and a police have come out and said they didn't. Why not more focus on Lucy, she's the person who claimed to have been the last person to see him. She left the country but no one's had accused her of fleeing or evading the authorities. Why did his friend come out so many days later with crucial information? Those are the people to be focusing on. I'm of the opinion that the police have their suspicions and are working in the background behind what we're seeing have had a close eye on the family and friends since the beginning.
That sounds very possible ...I think they still hope they can get him back ...but how he knows too much and so do many ofthem...I think they are scared ..not surprising ..playing with fire ? ...all very sad 😢
You stated that Jay met the two English guys “days before”. Where was this reported? I’ve followed the story and I’ve never seen that stated before by anyone. That comment is absolute BS.
How do these 2 fools know what the Spanish police are doing. Do they expect an update even if the police are intentionally keeling their cards close to their chest. They probably know plenty more and have no inclination to inform you 2 useless goons!! Embarrassing tv this is
My question is this:- Why did Jay go with these men and why not run him back the next day…??? Could it be that Jay may be dead and why aren’t the Spanish police checking out the houses belonging to drug dealers in the area??? Surely, these 2 men are very important to the case, as they were with Jay hours before he went missing??? I hope they find him but it’s looking doubtful as the days pass…
Two things: I'm from Spain and our police NEVER hold press conferences, especially if the case is ongoing. It has nothing to do with Jay Slater not being Spanish or anything. Also, when they announced on Friday they would be inviting all volunteers that wanted to join during that weekend it was OBVIOUS that, after more than 10 days, that'd the last weekend they would be actively looking for the missing person. You don't need to be a genius to foresee that was happening, since there was almost no chance for him to be alive (if he was in that area). And lastly, I've seen in the Spanish news that the police actually explained at the spot they were stopping the search, why and how. I can guess the British media loves to make drama out of everything and they've decided to ignore the fact that it was actually explained on site, the same way the've decided to ignore all the missing person's past when they talk about the case. Absolute jokers.
The fact that they found an unrelated British tourists body suggests they have already put more work into this than they usually would when a tourist goes missing.
They wasn't the last people to see Jay. He was seen by a woman as he was walking theough the valley. He asked her where the bus was....she didn't mention seeing 2 black men. Yiu haven't researched it properly!
Theres a video going on TH-cam of three men on a beach,one man is being hold then in the back ground you hear lucy saying god have you stabbed him,jay jay am sorry then you see a man walking away limping badly. if that video is real lucy and the friends needs to be investigated further i believe they know what happened to jay.
A friend of mine, who was a keen and able Fellwalker, went missing on a mountain walk in Scotland. There was a very thorough search for him, undertaken by the Mountain Rescue to no avail, and the whole business became one of those mysterious disappearances, which happen from time to time. However, some considerable time later, his remains turned up, in an area which had already been investigated. This young man will turn up either alive or dead, hidden in some shallow cover, or ravine. If dead, there will be a Post Mortem, which may indicate whether or not he died through some violence caused by human agency. Apparently there is ‘Crowdfunding’ money available for a continuing search. That may turn up something……
It never ceases to amaze me how the overwhelming majority of people see nothing but smoke, mirrors and intrigue when events like this happen. Despite countless comments on ‘social’ media (the most inappropriate word since nothing about it is very sociable), there exists no firm evidence at all - NONE, that Jay Slater was in any way involved in drugs. Yet thousands of people continue to state, as it was established fact, that he owed money to a gang. Why? Overactive imaginations on their part has lead them to believe this or that, without there exists a single thread of evidence. It might be laughable were it not for the fact that all these people presumably have the right to vote…
The British media including this program, keep complaining and saying the British police would do this and that!. Is anyone aware that in the UK 170,000 people go missing in Britain.. And the majority aren't found.. So so much for the fabulous British police...
Imo it’s not uncommon for unsavoury people to pay off the police. That makes the most sense to me why no real investigation and it was dropped so quick. The island is a party island and would be a major draw for dealers. Now someone has found a pair of sunglasses very similar to jays glasses by where his last phone ping was. Imo he got away from the villa because something dodgy was going on, he wanted a quick exit, didn’t want to wait for the bus and went in the opposite direction because he knew if he was found to have left the villa they would head back in the direction he originally came. From. Imo the cafe lady has innocently possibly when asked has told them what way he went, she seen him walk in the opposite direction Imo it was dodgy from the beginning, lucy and Brad arnt telling the whole truth and the two men caught up with him. Imo Lucy needs to be quizzed by the British police.
It hasn't been dropped "so quick". They were searching for a, potentially, alive young man. All the police know is what his friend Lucy told them: the missing person phoned her to state he got lost, he was very thirsty and had hurt his leg and his phone battery was about to die. They have no evidence that he's been kidnapped or that any crime against him has been committed. After two weeks it's impossible that he can still be alive if he's lost in the wild, so there's no point in wasting all those resources in recovering the body of a missing adult. I know it's brutal but that's the reality of things. Now all police can do is having this case in the background in case someone comes forward and gives new information to work with.
Imo you are a great loss to New Scotland Yard and criminal investigations in general. Your insight and powers of deduction are amazing. Whatever your current employment status, please give it up and take over this investigation. I am certain you could solve it in a matter of minutes. Sherlock Holmes must be green with envy.
Called off because people flocked there in the thousands to search for a kid instead of leaving it to experienced professionals so they risk contaminating anything and if they did somehow come across a body, which they won’t, they don’t want that dumped online
Cannot fathom why this is getting so much attention. There are missing kids all over the UK RIGHT NOW. Join your local missing persons page and its FULL of mothers and fathers despairing at how little the police seem to care. Communities organising their own searches. But one violent teenager goes 'missing' abroad and its wall to wall coverage for weeks???? Can you imagine how it must feel to be looking for your kid, alone, and seeing this EVERY SINGLE DAY?
The police there are pretty great (after being horrible at the gardia locale for 3days, they kept saying they needed an offisial intepretor even though we speak English both (im obviously not English), I slept outside, in a cave in the mountains one night, it was not exactly safe , they suddenly referred me to policia nationale. I walked there, 3 hours, I didnt have money for taxi or anything. But they at policia nationale got me in touch with my countrys embassy/council or what its called and they gave me food and i could have a shower. They was supernice. And I was driven to the airport by Red Cross that harassed med for : How do you come from one of the richest countries in the world to Spain, we have 6 million unemployed?
"take Jay' are you creating more drama. He went voluntarily according to more than one witness. He knew the men as did his mates. He was only with them at the Air B&B for a couple of hours at most. Shame on you.
Lucy text her own phone thats while she was out "searching for him" ,her phone was at her accommodation, catus was a beach knife attack caught on cctv because his mate stole the parcel & is why 30k is needed. Mum has done runs for group in the past and "knows the consequences", thats why her and dad didnt search
Lucy’s lying , the mums lying , all the family are lying . Call off all the searches , freeze the GFM money and return the donations to everyone . Don’t give them anymore air time , they are all wronguns
I don't understand it. There are infinite policing resources and endless money available to continue the search. As this is the only issue that policing have to deal with they should carry on as long as it takes. They are still searching for the only other person ever to go missing (daughter of some partying health professionals).
Disgusting reporting regarding the police here. Why is up to them to go put posters up when theres been a lot of friends and family been flown out to help and a lot of ££££ donated on go fund me to help them do so.
Who knows the truth? I want some more details regarding the building and why it was a focus , if he was on the rocks why the cctv of the football location the following day? And regarding the go fund me money must be fully accounted, it doesn’t cost 32k to stay 2 weeks or even 4 weeks, so what happened to the 27k remaining, for all we know this was a scam so little info is being given
They were interviewed and let go . Police can't hold them unless they have evidence or a reasonable suspicion that something untoward had taken place .
Isn't Tenerife the island that was having demonstrations against tourists not too long back? Wasn't it that they didn't want more tourists there? Maybe the Judge calling the shots said "sod it! we don't want tourists anyway so maybe this will stop them coming."
I think the protesters kidnapped him, hiding him underneath a cactus, the police shoveled some more dirt on him and the Judge now personally ordered the removal of the cactus to avoid suspicion.
Why didn’t the police check the car these two men hired , it may have a tracker on so you can check everywhere they went, before and during and after he went missing,?we need pictures of these two men
Lets blame the Spanish police and use them as scape goat rather than acknowledge that these British people were involved in criminal activity. The Spanish tax payers don't need to pay any more. If the family want him found, they should pay for the search. There's plenty of Spanish people who have gone missing. Spain first! Spanish taxes for Spanish people!
What is it with rhe English, the way you speak you'd think your the only ones that can find someone. People go missing all the time, you can't keep looking for a red herring
Stop blaming Spanish police, the presenter shows no knowledge and so arrogant. The missing boy went to night club, it is his fault. Why Spanish police is spending their fund for the foreigner? We all know is that the young boy has made some stupid mistakes, getting on stranger’s car that day. Running out mobile battery low in foreign country where you are not familiar with. Whoever cares of the boy should make a fund for Spanish police. Britain should be ashamed to send such an immature person overseas without their parents and cause such a big issue.
Which water. If you mean the sea nearest the air b&b unless you go by road your not getting there . Over land, unless you have ropes and climbing gear and know what your doing then you can go across the rugged terrain.

Jays Dad appealed the other day for volunteers which included social media types to help in the search and six people, to there credit turned up to help even though the main stream media have said repeatedly that these armchair detectives have flown out and are disrupting the search efforts. They (Spanish police) might have thought like most others,why a 51 year old British experienced hiker with all the equipment etc was found by chance whilst searching for Jay. You would think with him being so experienced and being missing he would have more media interest than a lad who has been partying and phoned his mate and said he was lost but was trying to get back. He said he cut his leg,has anything been mentioned about sniffer dogs picking up a scent? The vastly experienced local police cannot come out and blatantly say this is not right so they have done the only other thing they can without saying so. I truly hope he is ok and found well whatever the reason for his disappearance.
Makes me sick that yet again British media criticise Police in other countries!! Remember a young missing British girls body was found up in the loft of her family home days into the search BY BRITISH POLICE!!! Hope annual British cops won't be in an annual jolly to Tenerife a large McCann saga!!
💯🎯 would our police accept help from foreigners who are insinuating that they are incompetent?? Just like the undercover cops off to the Euros on the premise of seeding out hooligans, lol!
The Spanish police did there job how dare anyone pull them apart because the english were better. That is just the biggest joke
Yes..the two countries work differently and it's costing a lot of money..
"Rolex" or "Blue Rolex" is also a slang term for the drug ecstasy. ..... so brings a whole new meaning to the "missing Rolex" doesn't it .....
Yes apparently a blue bag was lost !
😂😂please stop roles was a stamp on a pull in 00s ffs
The parents have done nothing, they want folk to help search but they can't haul their arses about to go search and the dad couldn't answer a simple question about the UK police going over there to help and he was completely rude and ignorant and just walked away without answering. A lot of foul crap being told in this mess.
I second that a hundred 👍
I agree. Even if they couldn’t search the hillsides through being unfit, they could have hired/borrowed a gazebo and provided refreshments/snacks for those bothering to search. Aren’t the fire service part-time volunteers? Spaniards aren’t thick and I’m sure many are aware of how much money has been pouring into the go-fund-me.
@user-pw5ls9ti2j absolutely, they are really coming across as the stereotypical rude, ignorant, council estate brits and that's just not how the majority of us are, yet they're showing that and it's quite ahite seeing that much disrespectful behaviour when you're doing less than F**k-all to help.
Jays old man complained only 6 people turned up to help in the search but jays friends , mum and the other 17 family members who were flown out on the GFM money were nowhere to be seen .
Probably sitting in the bar of their all inclusive hotel and on the phone to Jay saying “ you ok love , the police still think you are in the mountains “ 🤬🤬
@@LondonCabbie369 I'm pretty sure the young lad is actually missing (most likely d3ad), but I can't help laughing at that, imagining it as an episode from the show "Benidorm" LOL
I think the spanish police have looked for 2 weeks for a british tourist with no luck. Their procedures are vastly different to ours. No shade to them, but i think theyre over it.
Exactly. If he is missing and hasn't been found by now there's no way he's alive. No point in wasting resources.
What a disgusting report by these two slagging of all the Spanish rescue workers some which were local volunteers. These rescue workers are covering thousands of square meters of rough terrain. The UK Police couldn’t find Nicola Bulley in a stream only meters away from where she went missing! Oh and of course they went on TV saying she had a drink problem! Give me the Guardia any day . Perhaps report in the 5000 people still missing in the UK.
Absolutely correct, it's disgusting.
Well, it was Lancashire constabulary not the whole of the uk police so don’t use a blanket statement
Dont think it was a watch. Rolex is a popular brand of ecstasy, so called because it has the Rolex crown stamped into it.
Ahhh
Stop it, you are making everyone alse look stupid

I thought the rolex story was an Eastern European gentleman who had lost his rolex outside the club but then found it?
It’s a bit arrogant of Lancashire police to think they can do the search better…police just needed a week in the sun…stop assuming that the Spanish cops are in the wrong…they are much more accustomed to searching in that area than Lancashire police…also why do you think the police should tell you everything that they know….
You both come across as very jingoistic….
Maybe if they accepted some help they could carry on looking. Bit arrogant of you and the Spanish police to think they could do everything on their own. If they could they would have found him by now. So a young kid has to die just so your police can save face? You're a lunatic.
Lancashire Police couldn't find Nicola Bulley in Lancashire.
They Would had never Got off the Strip in Las Americas
They busted a big drug ring recently
Yes, and not fit enough to go huffing and puffing in unknown territory.
The police actually had to come out and say that the two men they interviewed are not suspects and are not suspected of any wrongdoing... Not that they're irrelevant.
I keep hearing leading language such as 'they took Jay to a remote air bnb'. He went willingly, he wasn't abducted by them and he had met them days before. Not total strangers.
So many people are adamant that they had something to do with it and a police have come out and said they didn't.
Why not more focus on Lucy, she's the person who claimed to have been the last person to see him. She left the country but no one's had accused her of fleeing or evading the authorities.
Why did his friend come out so many days later with crucial information? Those are the people to be focusing on.
I'm of the opinion that the police have their suspicions and are working in the background behind what we're seeing have had a close eye on the family and friends since the beginning.
That sounds very possible ...I think they still hope they can get him back ...but how he knows too much and so do many ofthem...I think they are scared ..not surprising ..playing with fire ? ...all very sad 😢
You stated that Jay met the two English guys “days before”. Where was this reported? I’ve followed the story and I’ve never seen that stated before by anyone. That comment is absolute BS.
Lots of people are saying Lewis did it. Just saying
How do these 2 fools know what the Spanish police are doing. Do they expect an update even if the police are intentionally keeling their cards close to their chest. They probably know plenty more and have no inclination to inform you 2 useless goons!! Embarrassing tv this is
@@lamorphisehe didn't
Too many holes in the commentary from his friends and family - including a go fund me setup within hours of him going missing.
I reckon it is a scam..Is Jay even real? An actor??
Anything to distract the public from hearing about the thousands of soldiers arriving on our shores each week, via dinghies and the back of trucks !!
💯🎯 deport!!
All roads lead to the Airbnb and Lucy. 💯 convinced she has led the police up the garden path.
Just goes to show they did not want much leading did they lol Well done Lucy
Lol how rude and ignorant to say it's a "bunch of rural cops who don't understand the international awareness"!!
Let's keep one thing in mind this is a young man missing so let's not keep slagging him or the family off and just hope that he's ok
Get real chap.
Its still somones son ok grow up and shut up lets hope one of yours dont go missing ana ye
Well said, he's a young guy and clearly in trouble, hope he's found alive some how !!
Well said I hope the young man is found. Life is too precious.
Absolutely
Oh the drugs and the warch arnt conspiracy theory's then , media u dont half contradict ya selfs
My question is this:-
Why did Jay go with these men and why not run him back the next day…???
Could it be that Jay may be dead and why aren’t the Spanish police checking out the houses belonging to drug dealers in the area???
Surely, these 2 men are very important to the case, as they were with Jay hours before he went missing???
I hope they find him but it’s looking doubtful as the days pass…
Two things: I'm from Spain and our police NEVER hold press conferences, especially if the case is ongoing. It has nothing to do with Jay Slater not being Spanish or anything. Also, when they announced on Friday they would be inviting all volunteers that wanted to join during that weekend it was OBVIOUS that, after more than 10 days, that'd the last weekend they would be actively looking for the missing person. You don't need to be a genius to foresee that was happening, since there was almost no chance for him to be alive (if he was in that area). And lastly, I've seen in the Spanish news that the police actually explained at the spot they were stopping the search, why and how. I can guess the British media loves to make drama out of everything and they've decided to ignore the fact that it was actually explained on site, the same way the've decided to ignore all the missing person's past when they talk about the case. Absolute jokers.
British press NEVER let the facts get in the way of a story...
The two men that stayed with him in the airbnb need to be exposed and they need to speak to the press because this just looks suspicious!
The fact that they found an unrelated British tourists body suggests they have already put more work into this than they usually would when a tourist goes missing.
They wasn't the last people to see Jay. He was seen by a woman as he was walking theough the valley. He asked her where the bus was....she didn't mention seeing 2 black men. Yiu haven't researched it properly!
They haven't put stickers on lamp posts because he's not a cat.
Omg😢
Hi yall😊
Theres a video going on TH-cam of three men on a beach,one man is being hold then in the back ground you hear lucy saying god have you stabbed him,jay jay am sorry then you see a man walking away limping badly. if that video is real lucy and the friends needs to be investigated further i believe they know what happened to jay.
Apparently that's video footage from an old TV show from 2008, which was an appeal for witnesses. Don't know for sure though
A friend of mine, who was a keen and able Fellwalker, went missing on a mountain walk in Scotland.
There was a very thorough search for him, undertaken by the Mountain Rescue to no avail, and the whole business became one of those mysterious disappearances, which happen from time to time.
However, some considerable time later, his remains turned up, in an area which had already been investigated.
This young man will turn up either alive or dead, hidden in some shallow cover, or ravine. If dead, there will be a Post Mortem, which may indicate whether or not he died through some violence caused by human agency.
Apparently there is ‘Crowdfunding’ money available for a continuing search. That may turn up something……
Whats with the subliminal messaging ‘Restore Nature’ at 2:07. I’m pretty sure SM is illegal in the UK.
Omg the English are arrogant about everything. Only they could search for this guy….
She has the money now to get her own people to help
It never ceases to amaze me how the overwhelming majority of people see nothing but smoke, mirrors and intrigue when events like this happen.
Despite countless comments on ‘social’ media (the most inappropriate word since nothing about it is very sociable), there exists no firm evidence at all - NONE, that Jay Slater was in any way involved in drugs. Yet thousands of people continue to state, as it was established fact, that he owed money to a gang. Why? Overactive imaginations on their part has lead them to believe this or that, without there exists a single thread of evidence. It might be laughable were it not for the fact that all these people presumably have the right to vote…
The British media including this program, keep complaining and saying the British police would do this and that!. Is anyone aware that in the UK 170,000 people go missing in Britain.. And the majority aren't found.. So so much for the fabulous British police...
Imo it’s not uncommon for unsavoury people to pay off the police. That makes the most sense to me why no real investigation and it was dropped so quick. The island is a party island and would be a major draw for dealers. Now someone has found a pair of sunglasses very similar to jays glasses by where his last phone ping was. Imo he got away from the villa because something dodgy was going on, he wanted a quick exit, didn’t want to wait for the bus and went in the opposite direction because he knew if he was found to have left the villa they would head back in the direction he originally came. From. Imo the cafe lady has innocently possibly when asked has told them what way he went, she seen him walk in the opposite direction Imo it was dodgy from the beginning, lucy and Brad arnt telling the whole truth and the two men caught up with him. Imo Lucy needs to be quizzed by the British police.
It hasn't been dropped "so quick". They were searching for a, potentially, alive young man. All the police know is what his friend Lucy told them: the missing person phoned her to state he got lost, he was very thirsty and had hurt his leg and his phone battery was about to die. They have no evidence that he's been kidnapped or that any crime against him has been committed. After two weeks it's impossible that he can still be alive if he's lost in the wild, so there's no point in wasting all those resources in recovering the body of a missing adult. I know it's brutal but that's the reality of things. Now all police can do is having this case in the background in case someone comes forward and gives new information to work with.
Imo you are a great loss to New Scotland Yard and criminal investigations in general. Your insight and powers of deduction are amazing. Whatever your current employment status, please give it up and take over this investigation. I am certain you could solve it in a matter of minutes. Sherlock Holmes must be green with envy.
Let's not forget the boats still coming in
Don't forget the thousands that still arrive on trucks.
Yep ..Massive distraction
To be fair, the police asked for only experienced search and rescuers, emergency services to volunteer...
If the family dont want to use the funds for a search what happens then
They invite more friends and family and have a rave as a wake. It's what Jay would have wanted...😂😂
Called off because people flocked there in the thousands to search for a kid instead of leaving it to experienced professionals so they risk contaminating anything and if they did somehow come across a body, which they won’t, they don’t want that dumped online
1000'S = 6 Volunteers and a Tiktoker
That’s naive been called off because the police are on the payroll of the drug cartels

Thousands of teenagers go missing in the UK every year mostly from unregulated care homes.
I'm just wondering if the Moroccan Gang are paying all the Brits in the drug/music events service and possibly one or two police.
Cannot fathom why this is getting so much attention. There are missing kids all over the UK RIGHT NOW. Join your local missing persons page and its FULL of mothers and fathers despairing at how little the police seem to care. Communities organising their own searches. But one violent teenager goes 'missing' abroad and its wall to wall coverage for weeks???? Can you imagine how it must feel to be looking for your kid, alone, and seeing this EVERY SINGLE DAY?
The police there are pretty great (after being horrible at the gardia locale for 3days, they kept saying they needed an offisial intepretor even though we speak English both (im obviously not English), I slept outside, in a cave in the mountains one night, it was not exactly safe , they suddenly referred me to policia nationale. I walked there, 3 hours, I didnt have money for taxi or anything. But they at policia nationale got me in touch with my countrys embassy/council or what its called and they gave me food and i could have a shower. They was supernice. And I was driven to the airport by Red Cross that harassed med for : How do you come from one of the richest countries in the world to Spain, we have 6 million unemployed?
"take Jay' are you creating more drama. He went voluntarily according to more than one witness. He knew the men as did his mates. He was only with them at the Air B&B for a couple of hours at most. Shame on you.
Only 8 volunteers turned up to help the services search - 3 of them were Spanish locals - it seems really odd
Not really, they requested that only people with climbing and caving experience turn up.
@@angelawatson7740exactly that’s why the family members should not be actively involved on the ground.

Well done for Spanish police, This is for sure not a priority
Well if The Sun, Talk Tv and Mr Kipling can't solve it....
Has the family even offered to use the funds for helping with the search because all I’ve seen is they’ve been using it to bring people to Tenerife
Lucy text her own phone thats while she was out "searching for him" ,her phone was at her accommodation, catus was a beach knife attack caught on cctv because his mate stole the parcel & is why 30k is needed. Mum has done runs for group in the past and "knows the consequences", thats why her and dad didnt search
Yikes that's closer to the truth than most reporters who don't seem to have a clue ...
Lucy’s lying , the mums lying , all the family are lying .
Call off all the searches , freeze the GFM money and return the donations to everyone .
Don’t give them anymore air time , they are all wronguns
I don't understand it. There are infinite policing resources and endless money available to continue the search. As this is the only issue that policing have to deal with they should carry on as long as it takes. They are still searching for the only other person ever to go missing (daughter of some partying health professionals).
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Disgusting reporting regarding the police here. Why is up to them to go put posters up when theres been a lot of friends and family been flown out to help and a lot of ££££ donated on go fund me to help them do so.

Isn't Tenerife the island that was having demonstrations against tourists not too long back? Wasn't it that they didn't want more tourists there? Maybe the Judge calling the shots said "sod it! we don't want tourists anyway so maybe this will stop them coming."
What does all this have to do with Jay's disappearance?
I think the protesters kidnapped him, hiding him underneath a cactus, the police shoveled some more dirt on him and the Judge now personally ordered the removal of the cactus to avoid suspicion.
If he's alive he's been taken somewhere.
If he genuinely got lost out there, then it's just a body recovery at this point.

Sorry to say but the man to the right needs a bigger car.
Why didn’t the police check the car these two men hired , it may have a tracker on so you can check everywhere they went, before and during and after he went missing,?we need pictures of these two men
How do you know they didn't? You're assuming that lack of evidence equals lack of looking for evidence.
"Why did they take Jay?" Why did Jay go? He is an adult.
Because he didn’t go with two men to a B and B! That’s why the police think they are irrelevant to the case

Lets blame the Spanish police and use them as scape goat rather than acknowledge that these British people were involved in criminal activity. The Spanish tax payers don't need to pay any more. If the family want him found, they should pay for the search.

We all know is that the young boy has made some stupid mistakes, getting on stranger’s car that day. Running out mobile battery low in foreign country where you are not familiar with. Whoever cares of the boy should make a fund for Spanish police. Britain should be ashamed to send such an immature person overseas without their parents and cause such a big issue.
