Mike Neville, former head of Lambeth Missing Persons Unit, has offered a message of hope to the family of missing Lancashire teenager Jay Slater. Speaking on GB News, Neville highlighted that Jay's phone call to a friend before going missing allows search efforts to focus on a smaller area, a key difference from the tragic case of Dr Michael Mosley.
Neville noted that Jay's last known location, Rural de Teno Park, is a mountainous area away from the sea, reducing certain dangers. He expressed confidence in the Spanish police's professional search, using helicopters and drones, and urged prayers for Jay's safe return.
Jay, 19, from Oswaldtwistle, was last heard from on Monday after a night out. He told a friend he was attempting to walk back to his accommodation, an 11-hour journey, but was lost and had low phone battery. His phone died near the Rural de Teno park, a popular hiking area.
GB News host Andrew Pierce added that Jay's youth and fitness may aid his survival, hoping he has found water. The search continues as family and friends await news.
