Jay Slater has been missing for over a week and his friends and family have been left heartbroken as they've faced a barrage of abuse
The relentless search for Jay Slater continues, with the teenager having been missing since June 17 after last being seen in the rugged terrain of north west Tenerife.
Jay, 19, had checked into an Airbnb before he mysteriously 'walked off alone' into the remote area, prompting a large-scale operation to locate him. His mother, Debbie Duncan, is fraught with anxiety, stating she has "barely slept" as the ordeal wears on.Amidst the distress, Jay's family and friends have also had to contend with a series of malicious rumours circulating on social media.
Rachel furiously refuted false claims circulating online after a video wrongly suggested she was partying rather than searching for her missing son. In her response, she clarified: "This is another horrible lie about myself firstly this isn't me ! ! I took the video on my last holiday on a boat trip the lady in this video I don't know it was just me videoing the trip I was on with my family.", reports the Manchester Evening News.
Jessica, a 19 year old engineer and one of Jay's friends partaking in the search effort, described Jay as her ex-boyfriend and expressed her exasperation with the unfounded speculation and slander being spread by "online detectives". Addressing the baseless chatter, she made a heartfelt plea to those behind their keyboards, urging them to halt their damaging antics.
