A multi-agency effort is one of the defining features of this search for the 19-year-old, who has been missing since 17 June. Another is the reluctance of those agencies to comment.
In a rugged, remote corner of Tenerife, the search for Jay Slater continued into yet another day. What was a sprawling operation last week now feels more focused, with a cluster of officers from the Civil Guard telling me they were looking at a particular ravine with a nearby water source. Starting at 8am, the officers flanked by specialist sniffer dogs from Madrid, wandered down a path leading to a vineyard.
Watched closely by the Civil Guard, the local teams deployed three drones to survey the scene for about 45 minutes. That multi-agency effort is one of the defining features of this search. Another is the reluctance of those agencies to comment, despite the series of questions shrouding this case - fanned by online conspiracies that have reached a fever pitch in recent days. Since Mr Slater's disappearance, the Spanish authorities are yet to hold a news conference.
