One major thing was supposed to make this place safer, locals have told the Manchester Evening News
Tiptoeing through dense desert vegetation, sidling along dusty paths almost too narrow to step along, dodging vicious cacti barbs at ruler-length or more, signs everywhere saying rocks could fall down sheer cliff faces at any moment. Only experts can navigate this harsh, unforgiving landscape where one false move could leave you in serious trouble.
More than two weeks on from his disappearance, the search for him on the ground has been called off. There’s been no sight of him, and no obvious leads that have given Spanish authorities a clue of his whereabouts.“This whole road was built only around a year ago,” said one Tenerife native. “It was built to make the area safer, to make it easier for people to get in and out of.”
It seems it wasn’t, however, enough to keep Jay safe, as it’s now been more than a fortnight since his loved ones last heard from him. His phone was last tracked in this area close to the road, and the Airbnb he stayed at before he went missing was just off the same road. The Manchester Evening News understands that this was the largest, most obviously active search on the ground since Jay disappeared – even more so than the first, and most crucial, hours since he was reported missing.
Paul, 29, cancelled a charity fundraiser to spend hundreds of pounds on flying to the island and join in the search and rescue efforts on June 22. On Saturday, he recorded a blistering TikTok video, calling the final major search a ‘massive PR thing’ – before efforts were cancelled just a day later.
