Jay Slater Missing: The Biggest Conspiracy Theories Surrounding Teenager's Disappearance

Police searching for missing teenager Jay Slater in Tenerife are appealing for expert volunteers to help with a “massive search” on Saturday.
The 19-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, disappeared following an attempt to walk back to his accommodation on June 17.
On Friday, the Guardia Civil appealed for volunteer associations, such as firefighters, and individual volunteers who were experts in rugged terrain to assist in a “busqueda masiva”, or massive search, to take place on Saturday.
The Spanish police force said the search, which will begin at 9am in the village of Masca, near to his last-known location, would be coordinated to take in a steep rocky area, including ravines, trails and paths.
The announcement came as searches for the apprentice bricklayer entered a 12th day.
Mr Slater attended the NRG music festival on the island with two friends before his disappearance and his last known location was the Rural de Teno Park in the north of the island - which was about an 11 hour walk from his accommodation.
On Friday, Mr Slater’s friend Brad Hargreaves told ITV’s This Morning he had been on a video call with him before his disappearance when he heard him go off the road.
He said: “He was on the phone walking down a road and he’d gone over a little bit - not a big drop - but a tiny little drop and he was going down, and he said ‘I’ll ring ya back, I’ll ring ya back’ because I think someone else was ringing him.”
He confirmed he could see his friend’s feet “sliding” down the hill and could hear he was walking on gravel.
But, Mr Hargreaves said he and his friend were both laughing at that point.
He added: “He didn’t seem concerned on the phone until we knew how far away he was.”
He told the programme he still had hope for Mr Slater and was “praying” for him to come home.

As bad as it is what they did, they were all teenagers. It's easy to succumb to group mentality and doing things to fit in at that age. Tom himself is no angel, he mugged an old woman amongst other crimes (rumoured to be the reason for the attack). Also Jay wasn't the main perpetrator; "Jay Slater, who was 16 at the time of the incident, was said by witnesses to be 'on the periphery' of the attack". We don't know if Jay himself used a weapon or not.

He rang his girlfriend at 8am in the morning after leaving a nearby airbnb. He had been taken there by two complete strangers in the early hours following a party. What I find strange is how could he be thirsty so early in the morning shortly after leaving the airbnb. Surely there was taps there or bottled water. He supposedly missed the bus but instead of waiting for the next one decided to walk the 10kms through rough terrain dressed only in shorts and teeshirt, a phone with 1% battery power and zero water. It simply does not add up. Who in their right mind drives off with two complete strangers without telling his "friends" to the other side of Tenerife. How come they did not offer him a lift back knowing he missed the bus??? Who are these two"strangers". There is more to this story than meets the eye.

Anyone in the Drug game IS NEVER going to incriminate anyone as they need to protect them and higher ups in order to protect themselves. But seeing what others have said about her and her brazen posts have slang for dealers. She's the one who last spoke to him that we are aware of.

The strangest part of this story is why two guys in their 30s took a 19 yr old boy back to their accommodation. Why are the friends not addressing this and shutting the speculation down? As for the fund, that's nobody's business, people aren't forced to contribute and the family can spend it as they see fit. Plenty of young people get into trouble and go on to live perfectly respectable lives so we need to stop the thug nonsense, the "victim" has a huge record of offending too, no angel and I'm not suggesting he deserved such a vicious beating. I can't imagine anything more tortouress than having a loved one missing so I hope they get answers soon. SM needs to calm down. We can all have opinions without being cruel and nasty.

We know which house he went to. Let's say he walked off road at possibly 2-3mph, he was dehydrated so couldn't possibly have walked more than 10miles. With half the area being water that's less than 40mile² area to search that's not very overgrown. A single person searching over the time and distance would have found him. A drone would have found him.

This boy is mixed up in shenanigans and so are his "friends" Nobody can even walk for a mile in heat and no water So he would of been found if the story was true Wasting police time and resources Why is it always British tourists that cause criminal dramas abroad?

[@FontaineDerby]

Tom Hilton, the victim, was jailed for 14 months, disqualified from driving for 25 months and must sit an extended re-test if he wants his licence back. He pled guilty to attempted burglary, theft of a motor vehicle and dangerous driving. Before conviction for these offences, he had 14 convictions for 28 offences. The court also heard that on committing these offences on February 12, Hilton was in breach of two community orders which had been imposed on him, one just three days earlier and one in November 2021 which was a two-year order. Recorder Timothy Hannam KC said: “You have an awful record for someone of your age. “You’ve had a great many chances to change your ways but these offences are so serious that only a custodial sentence is appropriate. “This was a prolonged period of bad driving being chased by police. The speeds were terrifyingly high in built up areas. You were lucky the streets were relatively empty."

Convicted of violent disorder in August 2023, when he was aged 18. He is now 19. His codefendants were found guilty of witness intimidation, attempted robbery and conspiracy to supply Class A drugs. Throughout a trial at Preston Crown Court, all eight laughed and joked in a way the judge said showed disrespect. The judge said if the group had been convicted of the more serious charge of section 18 wounding, they would all have gone to youth custody.

latest announcement from the Spanish Police is that the 2 lads from Luton are of "no relevance"! Couple that with the fact that the 2 Luton lads were not questioned or interviewed in the UK, and it would be fair to assume they are undercover cops. so, why would cops take Jay back to their place? to let him spill the beans on the drug gang he works for and works with, and to allow him a safe house while the Moroccan gangsters search for Jay. Jay blew it somewhat by choosing to walk out of the house 2 hours too early for the bus and then deciding to walk. The Moroccans caught up with him, bundled him into a car, and now are awaiting payment.

If you want to be taken seriously re this case at least put in a bit of proper resesrch before going on air. 1- It wasn't a music festival it was a 3 night rave 2- Doubtful that last photo posted on Snapchat at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="450">07:30</a>am the morning Jay went missing is of him. Even This Morning said today Jay was wearing his trainers that last morning. The photo has legs completely covered , no face & whoever it is of is wearing black/dark old fashioned shoes. A very strange photo for a young lad to take & post anyway imo. 3- Why aren't you covering the voices captured by the beach cam the last night Jay was about? The cam is opposite the club that hosted that 3 night rave. The clip is less than a minute & has been hot on social media for days. 4- check the timings of Jay's known calls & witness account of Jay on the last morning he was seen.
