Jay Slater fled Airbnb feeling SCARED after admitting stealing £12k Rolex, claims investigator

Jay Slater left the Airbnb he went to with two men feeling "scared" after admitting to stealing a £12,000 Rolex, an investigator claims.
Former detective Mark Williams-Thomas said the 19-year-old did not want to return to the remote holiday let in northwest Tenerife despite having little phone battery.
Apprentice bricklayer Jay, who had been at a rave all night in Playa de las Americas, travelled north to the Airbnb in Masca village in the early hours of June 17.
During the hour-long drive, Mark claims Jay posted a Snapchat saying he had taken a Rolex worth £12,000 from an unknown person.
Police had been examining security cameras at a beach club and speaking to witnesses about an alleged Rolex theft hours before Jay vanished.
It was reported a brawl broke out at the Papagayo Beach Club in the early hours of June 17 after a "burly" Eastern European man allegedly had his pricey watch stolen.
Mark said he and his team had been "unable to validate" Jay's claim on Snapchat "in terms of reported theft".
He added: "However friends of Jay said he would not make this up and the watch was subject of later conversation between the friends."

Still doesn't add up. There was a scuffle outside of the club and the big burley eastern european's Rolex was taken by not so burley Jay....

Couldn't be bothered waiting for the bus, so decides to walk the 11hour hike back. Decides not to walk the road and take the volcanic mountain route in the heat and without water, after a heavy sesh and no sleep.... Rings lucy, to tell her he has 1% battery left and hurt his leg on a cactus.... Lucy, now assumes Jay is lost and gets a lift to go find him. Using the snapchat of the stairs to find the B&B he was at......... turns out the 18 year old lucy was ' Associates' with the two 40 year old men. And knew where the B&B was anyway.

I just cant believe the mother is constantly updating the gofundme page with messages and asking to keep sharing their "fundraiser" etc. Any other parent would be so distraught they wouldnt have time or energy to keep such a keen eye on a pot of cash 👀 Go and read the last update, never seen something scream "keep giving us your money" more.
