Lucy Mae told reporters:
One of the people he has met has hired a car out of here, so he’s driven them back to his apartment and Jay has gone there not realising how far away it is. He’s ended up out in the middle of nowhere. Jay was obviously thinking he would be able to get home from there.”
Authorities conduct a mass search
Following the incident, the local authorities in Tenerife, Canary Island, have reportedly started a massive search operation for Slater. Authorities have deployed drones and helicopters to comb throughout the area. Meanwhile, Slater’s mother and elder brother have also travelled from Lancashire to Tenerife. His mother stated, upon being asked:
[I’m] beside myself with worry. He’d been at a three-day festival so he would have consumed a fair bit of alcohol but Jay was Snapchatting with friends before he went missing and seemed very compos mentis.”
Meanwhile, netizens have made a Facebook group called “Jay Slater missing”, where over 117,000 people have now joined.
