A former Metropolitan Police officer has said the Jay Slater case needs a closer look because certain pieces "don't add up". Boasting three decades of experience with the Met, Graham Wettone suggested that the disappearance of Slater, who went missing on the 17th of June, may not sit within standard missing persons cases. The ex-cop said it was key for the local authorities to consider potential third-party involvement in the case and delve into potential "criminal" aspects, reports the Manchester Evening News .
The all-consuming search for the missing bricklaying apprentice drew in drones, sniffer dogs, and teams from an array of countries to the Spanish isle. According to the Mirror, the terminated search has left Jay's parents feeling "devastated". As of Sunday, Tenerife police officially closed the case for searches relating to Jay's disappearance.
