A major search operation is underway in Tenerife for missing Brit Jay Slater, 19
The Spanish officer in charge of the mountain search for the missing Brit, Jay Slater, has stated that the two British men who accommodated him the night before his disappearance are not pertinent to their investigation.
When questioned about whether Jay's relatives would join the search today, he responded: "All week they've been participating because we've seen them and they've seen us in several places. They've been actively participating." "And of course that's going to be done based on the information we have, and that information is his last-known position, the conservations he had the day he disappeared, and that's what makes us focus the search on that area."
"But we have a difficulty which is that once the phone goes off the antennas stop picking it up, so that while he's walking, and we don't know how long he was walking for, no phone mast is going to detect it, and as the technicians tell us, they look for mobiles and not people, so we're at that point as well, that we have certain information and we have to go on that."
When asked if Jay was seen on the day he vanished, the officer responded: "Yes, he was seen, the morning he disappeared, around 8.10am, he was seen very near the spot we're at now, heading up to the look-out point, and later his telephone places him here, and after that the phone location he shares places him here."
