The final haunting image of Jay Slater, a 19-year-old who vanished during a holiday in Tenerife, has been released as his family continues their desperate search for answers.
Jay was last seen in the early hours of Monday morning after attending a music festival on the Spanish island. The photo, taken just hours before his disappearance, shows him smiling with friends—a stark contrast to the anguish now felt by his loved ones.
Desperate Search Efforts
His mother, Debbie Duncan, has flown to Tenerife to assist local authorities in the search. She described the ordeal as "every parent's worst nightmare" and pleaded for anyone with information to come forward.
Spanish police, along with mountain rescue teams, have been combing the rugged terrain near the village of Masca, where Jay was last spotted. His phone last pinged in this remote area, raising fears he may have become lost or injured.
Family's Emotional Appeal
Debbie shared her heartbreak, saying, "Jay is a kind, loving boy who wouldn’t just disappear. We’re clinging to hope, but time is running out."
Friends have also rallied online, sharing appeals and organising fundraising efforts to support the search.
Mystery Surrounding Disappearance
Details remain scarce, but reports suggest Jay may have been trying to walk back to his accommodation after missing a bus. The journey would have taken hours on foot through challenging landscapes.
Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage and witness statements, but so far, no concrete leads have emerged.
As the search enters its critical phase, Jay’s family and friends remain hopeful for a breakthrough.
