In a significant development in the search for missing British teenager Jay Slater, a new image believed to have been taken at Papagayo nightclub in Playa de las Americas has emerged. The photo, captured in the early hours of Monday morning, shows Jay wearing a grey sports top with green shoulder edging, the same outfit he was last seen in. Jay is pictured alongside his friend, Lucy Law.
Lucy was the last person to speak with Jay when he called her around 8 am on Monday from a secluded mountain pass in Masca. This newly surfaced image provides a crucial timeline of Jay’s last known movements before his disappearance.
Spanish police have questioned Lucy Law again to clarify the timings of events, though there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on her part. The investigation aims to piece together Jay’s actions leading up to his disappearance.
Jay Slater, a 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, had traveled to Tenerife with friends to attend the NRG festival. After leaving the nightclub with two new acquaintances, he went to an Airbnb in a mountainous nature reserve. It is believed that Jay left the Airbnb alone on Monday and headed into the challenging terrain of Rural de Teno Park.
The search for Jay has now entered its sixth day, with efforts concentrated in areas such as Masca Gorge, La Vica, and Las Portelas. The rugged landscape and extreme weather conditions have complicated the search efforts. Authorities are using helicopters, rescue dogs, and drones in their comprehensive operation to locate Jay.
The community has rallied in support of Jay’s family, with the “Get Jay Slater Home” GoFundMe page raising over £27,000. This widespread support highlights the urgency and collective effort to find the missing teenager.
