Jay Slater's mother has issued a devastating statement after the disappearance of her 19-year-old son. Jay Slater was last seen leaving the white-washed home, named Casa Abuela Tina , at around 8am on June 17. He had been partying at the Papagayo nightclub in Playa de las Americas, before leaving the event with two British men to go back to the property, which they had rented.
The AirBnB where missing Jay Slater stayed the night before his disappearance is more then 20 miles and 11 hours' walk from the Los Cristianos apartment where he had been staying with his pals Lucy Law, 18, and Brad Hargreaves, 19. Jay posted a photo of himself holding a cigarette outside the holiday rental's main door early on Monday morning. The Airbnb owner later claimed she saw him on Monday walking uphill into the mountains alone.
At 8.30am, Jay called Lucy to say he was in the middle of nowhere, trying to get home with no water and 1% on his phone battery. That was the last time anyone heard from him.
