'It was just the thoughts of a 19-year-old boy of "just go the easiest route".'
Travel Writer Joe Cawley speculates on why Jay Slater decided to tackle the difficult Tenerife terrain when there was a main road he could have stayed on.

You've clearly never been very young or very drunk. I have . I recall setting on madcap journeys - including an 11 mile detour at 3am rather than wait for a taxi, that involved stepping over a live voltage railway line in a tunnel - having convinced myself they swicthed it off at night (but the loud buzzing said otherwise). Or was my journey a fanciful ' load of rubbish'. Where do you people - with your hints at dark subterfuge and conspiracies - come from ? I prefer my mind - which has certainly done very daft things thanks to being under the influence (occassionally) - to yours , that appears filled with illogical paranoias and delusions

I can't imagine the easiest route would be through wild terrain rather than a road. One look at those mountains and crevices and I would have turned back in an instant.

I've done the same in Cyprus last year. The walk on a road was boring and I decided to do a short cut. Eventually I found myself on very steep slope in the middle of thorny shrubs. I didn't turned back because climbing back to the road was very difficult. Somehow eventually I managed to get to the road. I was covered in scratches for two weeks. And I am much older than Jay.

My thoughts from beginning, he caught glimpse of the sea and thought that be quicker to return back his lodgings, sadly not appreciating the unforgiving terrain as an 11hr road walk is rather thought provoking but one never no why he didn't wait for a bus or simply walk via the road further along find a watering hole (cafe) on route and hop on next bus further along.

Poor kid. Feel bad for his family and the guys who tried helping him out ex cons or not. This makes perfect sence and always has.

[@mrmrgaming]

From the start, I put this down to one of three reasons why he went missing. 1. He wants to get from A to B, but B is way too far. He sees lights and life in the distance, and whether sober or not, he picks the shorter path. 2. An animal frightens him off the road (I doubt it, but possible) 3. He does not want to be found walking on the road. He fears being found by one or more people after him.

Doctors view. When patients are high on clubbing drugs, they don’t “think” anything - they just can’t bear to sit still are want to move. An 11 hour walk is a far better prospect than sitting still at a bus stop when their legs are still dancing and there are still “missions” to go on. We see it All the Time. Agitation /Excitation from stimulants/mild hallucinogenics.

​@@andrewjackson8089if you'd ever been to an illegal rave you would see people deciding to 'go on a hike' at 8 in the morning after partying for 8 hours still high on mdma/speed/ketamine.

Sometimes you wouldn't even get a proper grasp of reality until 12pm that day, and then you can feel disassociation from reality for days after. This is from first hand experience.

Maybe because he called them and said he was lost with no water and no phone battery? That's just a wild assumption on my part, of course.

There probably were criminal events taking place BUT…bottom line is he went into dangerous terrain with no water, no communication and got lost.

[@paulhancock]

He thought it was the 'easy' route to walk across a mountain range rather than walking on the road or wait for a bus? I know he was drunk, but... Come on. I'm sorry but there is still so much which doesn't add up. We still don't know why he 'couldn't' go back to the AirBnB or wait outside for a bus, OR why all bar/club owners told their staff not to talk to the police. There 100% has been a wall of fear and silence around this case which would suggest he was involved in 'something' before he went missing... Which we know is the case from the confirmed stolen watch which belonged to a 'serious' guy. Whatever though, I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist. They probably want this all neatly wrapped up and will stop investigating the events of that night or asking questions.

I totally agree. It’s not being a conspiracy theorist at all, it’s logical thinking. The police should be asking those questions 100%. There’s a reason he couldn’t go back to that BnB, even if he was out of his nut and exhausted, it’s more likely he wouldn’t have wanted to do an 11 hour walk. And why didn’t he stick to the road?

If she thought he could have been found earlier why did she not go herself and search for him in those conditions or even better why does she not question why after 17 years she or her wonderful police has not found Madeleine Mccan yet!

I’ve partied for 3 days and still knew not to wander off into a remote desert 🤦‍♂️

It’s a short cut. Well it looks like one. I can see the temptation to enter it.

[@andrewjackson8089]

@@CrueLoaf looks nothing like a short cut! Come on, you can’t be swallowing this😲😲

[@CrueLoaf]

@@andrewjackson8089 look at the AirB&B. The road bends for miles, crossing the terrain cuts a few corners. Look at the original footage and location.

What does it mean when they say he was found with his clothing and personal belongings did he have a suitcase with him.

Natural selection and poor parenting

He was off his face, and thought it would be an easy walk.

Walking around with a stolen rolex so no wonder he wanted to get off the main roads 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Powerneck]

12 and a half K ROLEX Rolex is a street term for COCAINE.. So basically he stole a half of a Kilo of Coke …………👃🏽

[@laurenspenceruk]

Does human remains mean a dead body or chopped body parts?

[@josephdebri8941]

yeah and they mentioned something about his clothes being there too. As though he wasn't wearing them.

[@KoZmikJD]

If he had been there a month in that heat then I would imagine that nature was doing its thing

[@laurenspenceruk]

@@josephdebri8941 they may have been ripped from him as he fell or removed to humiliate? Once we hear more about the body, its position and its condition, it will become more obvious whether this is accidental or more sinister.

[@ruthcollins2841]

Animals around to get their grub

[@maggieedwards3951]

It means the body has decomposed to an extent and what remains is usually skeletal and hair ,.
