Jay Slater – latest: Locals report teen ‘watching Euro 2024’ after last contact

Spanish police are examining CCTV footage from a Tenerife town near where Jay Slater disappeared, its mayor said on Tuesday.

Warren Slater, the teenager’s father, on Monday shared a blurry still picture from a security camera in the town of Santiago del Teide of a person that could be his son in the hope it would help with the search, British media reported.

“We know the police are investigating (the CCTV images). They have asked for the town hall’s security cameras and they are also working with the company that handles those cameras,” the town’s mayor Emilio Jose Navarro said.

The grainy CCTV image shows a person walking through the town, but it is impossible to make out a face.

Crucially, it was taken at around 6pm last Monday, around 10 hours after the last known ping from Jay’s phone, which came from the Rural de Teno park around three-and-a-half miles away.

The mother of Jay Slater says she has barely slept in the time since her son disappeared on Tenerife more than a week ago.

Speaking to the MailOnline on Tuesday, she said: “It’s been a week now and it’s been awful. I’ve barely slept and I’m at my wits’ end.

“The Spanish police are doing a good job and we are getting updated from the consulate so we just put our faith in them.”

A travel blogger living in Tenerife has described the treacherous conditions facing Jay Slater as he joins the search for the missing teenager.

Andrew Knight, known on YouTube as the Knightrider, told The Independent of the climate in Tenerife: “It’s rugged mountainsides, loose rocks that fall away underfoot, cactuses everywhere. It’s a disorienting landscape and also has extreme weather changes.

“At night the temperature drops to around 12 degrees Celsius, but with the wind chill and the thin air at altitude, it feels around 10 degrees.

“In the sunshine, it can go up to 28 degrees. It also can be quite damp, it rained a little when I was there. It has its own microclimate that changes by the hour.”

Worried relatives and friends are still searching for a sighting of British teenager Jay Slater after he vanished on the island of Tenerife.

He had gone to stay with two people he had met at the NRG music festival and, having missed the last bus back, embarked on what would have been an 11 hour walk.

Jay Slater’s last known movements have been mapped as the desperate search for the missing teenager entered its second week in Tenerife.

A major search operation was launched after the 19-year-old, from the Lancashire town of Oswaldtwistle, vanished on the Spanish island last Monday.

Specialist sniffer dogs have been flown in from Madrid to join the search for Jay Slater, as authorities continue to scour for details that may shed light on his disappearance.

Now in its second week, only a small search team of police officers and rescue workers could be seen in the mountainous area near the village of Masca, a destination popular with experienced hikers.
