Missing Jay Slater posted a final picture at 7.30am an hour before phoning his friend to say he was lost in a Tenerife national park.
A missing British teenager posted a Snapchat picture just one hour before phoning his friend to say he was lost in a national park in Tenerife, it has emerged.
The call cut out and the teenager has not been seen or heard from since, but his last known location was in the remote Rural de Teno Park, a 10-hour walk from where he was staying. Missing Jay posted a final picture at 7.30am on Snapchat from the house of 'two English lads' an hour before phoning his friend Lucy
Ms Duncan told MailOnline: 'We haven't had any real update but I'm waiting for news from the British consulate. The next day, Jay set off on foot having had no luck catching a bus. He used his Maps on his phone to direct him but took a wrong turn and ended up 'in the middle of nowhere'. Speaking from the south of the island where her son had been staying, mother Debbie said: 'I'm obviously beside myself with worry which is why I've flown out here with my eldest son to do anything we can to help.
'I just think it was a question of him not knowing the island well enough because it was his first time here and being a bit disorientated when it came to distances and not realising it was a 10-hour walk from where he went missing to his holiday accommodation. 'He's ended up out in the middle of nowhere. Jay was obviously thinking he would be able to get home from there.
Meanwhile back in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, Jay's stepdad Andy Watson told how police officers knocked on their door in the early hours of the morning today to inform them of the teen's predicament. Jay Slater, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, travelled to the Canary Islands for a musical festival with pal Lucy and another friend last week Jay was reported missing on Sunday morning by friend Lucy Mae
'I've been getting lots of prank calls. It's sickening. People ringing me and saying they've got Jay because he owes them money. His phone then ran flat, with his last known location registered in the 'Rural de Teno' park, close to the PR-TF51 hiking trail above the small village of Masca. My God Mother’s Grandson has gone missing. His Mother has flown out 7pm. To join the police search. Hope to God they find him. Please 🙏for him. 💔 pic.twitter.com/L7gWxsew8O
'What I can say is that I haven't seen him and nor have colleagues. The helicopter was up yesterday and went across several times overhead and it's been up again this morning searching the area. But no police have been in asking questions or seeking information and this is a logical place to come. 'We're obviously hoping this has a happy ending. It's not nice that a young man gets lost in our municipality and we hope he can be found soon and that he's well and can be reunited as soon as possible with his loved ones.'
'We were there all of yesterday, we were driving around looking around everywhere, looking in all the nooks and crannies.'
