THE mum of missing teenager Jay Slater has made a tearful appeal for anyone holding him to set him free.
She sobbed: "I just want my little baby home with me." Debbie Duncan has not heard from Jay, 19, since he left a rave on Tenerife and went with two British men to their isolated holiday apartment an hour's drive away.
After four days of fruitless searching, she fears her son may be the victim of foul play.
She begged: "If anyone does have him, let him go."
Her comments came as his best friend urged UK police to get involved in the investigation and the Mirror identified the holiday home where the teen was just hours before he disappeared.
Debbie was speaking as police and rescue teams continued to search a ravine where Jay's phone last received a signal.
The school finance officer, who flew to the Spanish island after Jay vanished, yesterday visited a police station in the Playas de Las Americas area but left with a number of questions unanswered.
She said: "It's busy with hikers and holidaymakers up there so if he was lost someone would have seen him. That's why I think maybe he's been bundled off somewhere.
"It's just a nightmare, an absolute living nightmare. I wouldn't wish this on anybody.
"Has somebody taken him? Is he panicked and lost in the mountains? I just don't know.
"But if he is lost then why hasn't anyone seen him? I just want my little baby home with me."
