The family of Jay Slater have vowed to continue searching for the missing teenager, despite Spanish police calling off their operation after 13 days. The 19-year-old from Lancashire disappeared near the remote village of Masca in Tenerife, after setting off on what should have been an 11-hour walk back to his accommodation.
Despite the efforts of mountain rescue teams, the Guardia Civil and volunteers, no trace of the apprentice bricklayer has been found in the mountain region. After Jay was reported missing on 17 June, his family and a number of close friends flew out to the island to assist in the search, and they have vowed to remain there until he is found.
Rachel Hargreaves, a close family friend who has joined Jay’s parents on the largest of the Canary Islands, told Mail Online: “No one is leaving until we find Jay.” She added: “We stay and we do what we need to do. Nothing has changed. We will continue to search for him.”
