This new picture shows Jay Slater just hours before he vanished in Tenerife on Monday. The image shows the 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer at a rave on Sunday evening, which he left with two new friends before disappearing the next day. Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, flew out to the holiday island with two friends for the NRG festival.

But he left the event with two mystery people he met there, and went to an Airbnb in a mountainous nature reserve. After waking, it is believed he left alone on Monday and headed into the treacherous terrain. Today, investigators have been seen removing rubbish from this area .

Police were joined by rescue dogs and firefighters as they continued the search for the teenager. The rugged Rural de Teno Park in the north west of the island is known to be dangerous, not just for the rocky terrain but the extreme weather conditions. Close attention was also paid to a river called Barranco Madre del Agua at the bottom of a ravine, where personnel with sticks carefully searched through fallen dead palm trees.

Jay's phone's last live location was Rural de Teno Park. Movements after around 8.30am on Monday remain a mystery, however, and Jay's mother, Debbie Duncan, yesterday described searching for her son was "an absolute living nightmare".

She flew out to Tenerife on Tuesday with her eldest son. Speaking to ITV News, Ms Duncan said: "He's the life and soul, he's a beautiful boy." Jay was last seen by the owner of the Airbnb as he left the accomm.
