A Snapchat clip has revealed what British teenager Jay Slater was wearing the night before he disappeared in Tenerife.

The 19-year-old was in the Canary Islands for a music festival but mysteriously disappeared after a night out with new friends. The new video, taken on Sunday evening (June 16) by relative Isabelle Price, showed Jay laughing and smiling the night before he disappeared. The clip was filmed around 8:35 p.m. in the Arona neighborhood of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.




The clip was widely shared on social media, showing Jay, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, wearing a gray sports top with a light green stripe across the shoulders and carrying a black bag.

Posting the clip to a Facebook group dedicated to the search for Jay, which now has more than 40,000 members, it read: “This is clear video of what Jay was wearing the night he disappeared. Our entire family and “Our friends are so worried that we are all praying and hoping that he will be found unharmed soon.”

Jay has not been heard from since Monday June 17 around 8 a.m., while he was visiting the Spanish island for a music festival, reports the Manchester Evening News. The 19-year-old was with a friend who he called to say he was lost and had only one percent battery on his phone, before being cut off.

His friends said he decided to stay out Sunday night after meeting new friends while his friends returned to their apartment. The area where his phone was last located is in Teno Rural Park – or Teno National Park – which is a popular area for hikers.

A vast search is underway, led by the Civil Guard, with the deployment of mountain rescue teams, police and helicopters. His devastated mother Debbie, who has since flown to the Spanish island, said: “I'm obviously beside myself and that's why I flew here with my eldest son to do all this that we can to help.”

“We're just praying that the police or someone finds Jay. I know there's a mountain rescue team and a helicopter. Nothing will ever be enough when your youngest son is missing, but it seems like the police here take this very seriously and do the best job possible.
