The mum of missing teenager Jay Slater has made an updated statement about the 'agony and pain' felt by the family as the 19 year old remains missing in Tenerife two weeks on from his disappearance. Jay, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, vanished on June 17 on the Spanish island. His last known whereabouts were leaving an Airbnb in the north of the island, near the village of Masca, at approximately 8am that day.
The young lad was holidaying with his mates Lucy Law, 18, and Brad Hargreaves, 19. They had been partying at the Papagayo nightclub in Playa de las Americas before Jay left with two other Brits to return to their rented accommodation. His last known location was Rural de Teno Park in the north of the Canary Island - a treacherous 11-hour walk from where they were staying.
At around 8.30am on the morning he went missing, Jay rang Lucy to say he was lost, trying to find his way home without water and with only 1 per cent battery left on his phone. That was the last anyone heard from him, reports the Manchester Evening News .
