Spanish authorities have initiated a new investigation following reports of a scuffle that occurred outside Papagayo Beach Club in Playa de las Americas on the night before Jay Slater disappeared. The incident involved an altercation over a stolen Rolex watch, with an Eastern European man alleging his watch had been taken.
Jay Slater, who was at the club with friends that night, vanished the following day, leading to a widespread search operation. While it remains unclear whether the scuffle is directly connected to Jay’s disappearance, the police are re-examining CCTV footage from the club to better understand the events that transpired.
Police are concentrating on the details of the altercation to determine if there are any links to Jay’s case. This new line of inquiry adds a fresh perspective to the ongoing investigation aimed at locating the missing teenager.
The search for Jay Slater continues in the Masca area, with emergency services and volunteers persevering in difficult conditions. As authorities review the new information, the community holds onto hope for any breakthrough that could lead to Jay’s safe return.
