The disappearance of 19-year-old Jay Slater in Tenerife has taken a tragic turn as new details emerge about his final hours. The British teenager, who vanished during a holiday with friends, reportedly sent chilling last messages before losing contact.
Desperate Search in Harsh Terrain
Search teams have been combing the rugged mountains near Masca village where Slater was last seen. The operation, now entering its second week, involves Spanish police, mountain rescue specialists, and even sniffer dogs.
Friend's Heartbreaking Account
"He told me he was lost and his phone was about to die," revealed Lucy Law, one of the last people to speak with Slater. "He said he'd been walking for hours but couldn't find his way back. Then the call cut out."
Family's Anguish Grows
Slater's mother Debbie Duncan has flown to Tenerife, pleading for information about her son. "We just want him home," she told reporters, her voice breaking with emotion. "Someone must know something."
Mystery Surrounds Disappearance
Authorities remain puzzled by several aspects of the case, including why Slater left his accommodation alone in the early hours and how he came to be in such a remote location. Police are reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses.
The Foreign Office has confirmed they are supporting the family and working with Spanish authorities. As hope begins to fade, the devastated family continues to wait for answers about their beloved son and brother.
