On Sunday, June 16, Jay Slater and two friends attended the final day of the NRG music festival in Playa de las Américas. Early Monday morning, Jay was seen getting into a car with two men he had met while on vacation. Around 7:30 a.m., he tagged Parque Rural de Teno Buenavista del Norte in a Snapchat post. At 8:15 a.m., he called his traveling companion, Lucy Law, to tell her he had missed a bus and was planning to walk back, but the call was disconnected.
After Jay failed to return on Tuesday, June 18, his friends and local authorities began the search. On Wednesday June 19, the Spanish Civil Guard deployed drones, dogs and a helicopter. A false lead in Los Cristianos briefly diverted the search, but attention returned to the Teno Rural Park.
On Thursday June 20, the efforts of the Guardia Civil, mountain rescue, firefighters and volunteers intensified. Lancashire Police offered assistance on Friday June 21, as teams focused on footpaths around Masca and two gullies, investigating near a flat visited by Jay. The search continued in Masca on Saturday June 22.
Buzz on the Internet
Speculation about Jay Slater's disappearance has gone viral online, with many Facebook groups discussing theories about his whereabouts. Some social media users suggested Slater had been kidnapped or was in hiding, although police did not support these theories.
Slater's mother, Debbie Duncan, said she was concerned about the negative impact of online discussions on research. “Actually, they said there was too much noise, that it was harmful,” she said, referring to comments from Spanish police.
Several fundraising pages were created to support the research, but were later suspended by GoFundMe due to concerns about the identity of the organizers. A Facebook group believed to have been set up by Slater's family said Ms Duncan did not want fundraising pages set up.
Additionally, the administrator of a Facebook page dedicated to helping with the search reported that someone other than Slater had logged into the 19-year-old's Instagram account.
