Body found in Tenerife could be Jay Slater
The corpse has been discovered in the area where Jay Slater’s phone last pinged
Spanish police have found a body in the rugged countryside of Tenerife, Spain which they believe could belong to missing 19-year-old Brit Jay Slater.
The Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group of the Guardia Civil located the lifeless body of a young man in the Masca area, in the Tenerife municipality of Buenavista del Norte.
Jay Slater disappeared on the Canary Island 29 days ago.
The body was found following an ongoing search by the Guardia Civil, which they kept quiet to avoid too many people not associated with the search interfering with their work.
It has been almost four weeks since the last signal was detected to have pinged from Jay’s phone and a fortnight ago, the police and the Guardia Civil said they would end their official search, although they kept the investigation open.
Jay’s family recently decided to call in a group of rescue experts from the Netherlands to join the search with their specialist dogs, along with other volunteers.
The 19-year-old had travelled to Tenerife with friends to attend a music festival in San Miguel de Abona for a few days’ holiday. According to one of the friends who was with him, in the early hours of June 17 Jay met two people with whom he went to the Masca area.
Other questions about an apparently stolen Rolex that Jay was trying to sell have cast shadows over the search and investigation.
That is where all trace of him was lost and where the body has now been found. But for the moment it is not clear whether it is Jay Slater’s body or not.
The official identification of the body is still pending and the authorities are still working on the investigation to clarify all the details of the case.
