As the search for missing British teenager Jay Slater enters its seventh day, a bombshell new video has emerged, adding crucial context to his final known movements. The video, lasting two minutes and 40 seconds, shows the 19-year-old dancing topless at a rave during the NRG music festival in Tenerife. Filmed around 1am, the footage has been shared on TikTok, with captions indicating Jay appeared disoriented.
This latest development offers new insights into the hours leading up to Jay’s disappearance. He was last heard from at 8:50am on Monday morning when he called his friend from a secluded mountain pass in Masca. Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, had attended the festival with friends and later left with two new acquaintances to an Airbnb in a mountainous nature reserve.
Jay’s mother, Debbie Duncan, who has traveled to the Spanish holiday island, made a heartfelt appeal for her son’s return. “We just need you home,” she pleaded, hoping for any information that could lead to finding Jay.
Despite the challenging terrain and extreme weather conditions, search efforts led by the Civil Guard and Civil Defence continue across a 30km-wide area, including Masca Gorge, La Vica, and Las Portelas. Smaller search parties have also been combing the region, maintaining hope and determination to find Jay.
The community’s support for Jay’s family has been overwhelming. The “Get Jay Slater Home” GoFundMe page has raised over £27,000, reflecting the widespread concern and solidarity.
Authorities and Jay’s family are urging anyone with information about his movements or the individuals he left the festival with to come forward. This new video evidence is hoped to be a significant lead in the ongoing investigation.
As the search continues, the priority remains on piecing together Jay’s last known activities and locating him safely. The collective efforts of authorities, volunteers, and the community underscore the urgency and commitment to bringing Jay home.
