Missing: Jay Slater and Lucy's Statement

Jay Slater, 18, is missing. His friend Lucy posted at Go Fund Me. Can we learn anything from her statement?

[@Bellablack205]

Thank you for covering this case. I am Spanish and the area where he got lost is very tricky. People with years of experience who camp or go for long hikes has been lost but normally appear within 24 hours. This is very weird. Spanish Government covers all the expenses of this search. No need for a Gofundme. Spain is Europe. With more resources than other countries in Europe. This sound very weird. Experts in the area, drones, dogs, police, Guardia Civil. Everybody is doing their best. They are keeping very silent which may indicate that they are after something. I hope they find him safe but it doesn't look good or logic, the version of events that the family and friends are communicating. You are an amazing professional Sir. Thank you.

[@Bellablack205]

@@nicolasimpkins3640 hi Nicola! It could be, but based on previous searches volunteers do not help in this type of landscape, unless the search has been finished. Only then the private searchers can do something and yes, they are paid. Asking for that amount when you don't know if he is going to appear in some days is beyond weird. Thank you for your comment.

The gofundme now says it’s for Debbie his mum, but initially when it was set up it wasn’t. If you look at Lucy’s first interview she does a Freudian slip and says “we” then quickly changes it to “I” so who’s the we? She definitely knows more than she’s saying.

Someone answered this elsewhere, apparently wherever you are if you dial 999 or 911 in another country it still connects you to emergency services in that Country (I am presuming the UK and USA aren't special and the same thing works with all countries emergency numbers) so I am thinking that probably having seen a lot of American TV she opted for 911 thinking that is the emergency number for everywhere outside the UK, and it just connected her. That's my guess.

Spain has literally been full of brits in touristic areas for decades, youd' expect translators to be on hand

[@kaymarham5486]

"Their apartment was miles from civilisation *and in a very secluded location"* It jumped out at me that she added "and in a very secluded location". Not only is it an unnecessary addition, but she specifies that the location is "VERY" secluded. "Secluded" might be leaking the word 'hidden' - as in... 'he' is hidden, as opposed to the location. Also, the word "location" is noteworthy in this context. Its a 'police kind of word', not necessarily consistent with someone whose writing style seems to be transcribing their Northern English speaking style. She also refers to his location as "a 10 hour walk from his hotel". How did she know it was a *10 hour walk* to his hotel? Nobody talks in terms of a 10 hour walk - they would either refer to *car* driving time, or say a 10 mile/kilometer walk. Strange phraseology! Her words give a sense that she is very far removed from the situation; the situation itself is a hopeless needle in a haystack... and perhaps that the guy is hidden. Her use of words is more like crafting an impression than being descriptive or attempting to give information. Rather, the overall vibe is 'concealment'. Love Peter Hyatt and his work! 🌷🌿

[@courtneysquill8843]

She went to villa that is so secluded and recognised it from the photo he sent amongst hundreds of other villas in hundreds of other villages. So how does she know this villa and it's distance when he pinged her from the mountain. She even spoke to Luton guys. Did she set him up and send him to face the music alone. This is all emotional blackmail. To get money. They should all be arrested. And to copy Michael Moseley's last walk is perverse and disgusting. I think Jay went missing Sunday night. His last photo was Sunday night. We only have the two UK guys and Lucy and the landlady of the villa claiming he was in mountains. They are connected. Lucy finds the not so secluded villa. Lucy came to ping his phone or Brad. Doesn't Brad look a bit like Jay. Jay couldn't have walked 3 miles in 15 mins. Lady in business next door to villa said she never saw the lad at all. Is Jay changing his identity because of his past. Is that why mum let slip his passport was stopped. Why stop his passport.

[@courtneysquill8843]

Did Brad have a fight with Jay over Lucy. Is that the guilt. Did Brad fight Jay or spike his drink. Why is Brad soooooo quieeeeet

[@Takadananobaba112]

Yeah that sentence leapt out to me as well for being really suspicious!

[@marinka424]

I thought “ secluded location” sounded out of place. She uses simpler shorter words the rest of the time. I just assumed she was copying what she’d read on a Tenerife holiday website, that’s how holiday hotels describe themselves ( in a secluded location). It sounds like a typical travel agent/ hotel sales cliche. People who aren’t very literate often copycat like this from other written literature to make themselves sound more intelligent or better educated. Those are not her words. It’s obvious when you look at the rest.

The second I heard lucy talking on a news interveiw,I knew she was lying and up to something-from what I can gather is she was as the connection between a gang of drug dealers and jay ,getting a rucksack of drugs off them that she gave to jay to sell at the festival,but apparently jay tucked into it and used a lot got really wasted and lost the rest,meaning he owed ALOT of money and lucy was going to be the one to have to tell the dealers that,so her and jay had a row and she left to distance herself from it all and make some dreaded calls ! Jay took off with two guys who offered to hide him in their remote bed and brekkie,he took a pic to proove to her he wasn’t at the party and told her he was as lost and had no batt cos she was as going mad at him to get back to her and face this ,I think he scarpered and is faking going missing so he dosent get beat up ,and she has set up the go fund me to cover the bill ,30 grand! The mum knows she did the fakest interveiw ever ,fake sniffs ,no tears saying he was such a good boy despite him nearly killing someone in the uk and being in gangs and dealing !

I think they intend to set up new druggie business with 30k Go Fun Me

[@angkeats7111]

It didn't make sense to me why he would choose to walk 10 hours over mountain terrain instead of waiting for 2 hours for the next bus so I was suspicious straight away. Plus the fact he didn't get water at the apartment he went to and allegedly had a leg wound and didn't shower there or anything. The whole thing stinks IMO

[@gaysy1st]

I agree. I'm sure he could have charged his phone there too. Why did those guys (aged between 35-40) let him leave like that, with no water & no usable phone? Why didn't Jay go back there & ask if he could stay there until the next bus came? Would you really choose to go on a 10 hour walk, in heat, risking becoming dehydrated? Look what happened to Michael Moseley. They reckon he passed out from the heat & would have been dead within a few hours. His family & friends keep saying that he's not stupid, but the trouble is that teenagers always think they know everything, but there are so many things that their brains don't even consider.

[@gillianmaxted1856]

​@@gaysy1stI believe from the videos and statements from other people at the event, Jay was falling on the floor, so must have been soo drunk and or high, therefore the next day he must have still been under the influence of whatever substances and maybe that is why he could not sit still long enough to wait for a bus. The more you hear the worse it becomes.

[@santaloveschocolate]

Yeah the kid was so high, you're asking why he didn't charge his phone but he's on another planet! Ofc he didn't do any of the sensible things you mention. He probably had no idea of time and just knew he didn't want to sit still, maybe people were looking for him, maybe he's just off his tree and not thinking straight. You're right that it definitely doesn't make sense but hard to know whether that's because he's out of it or because something untoward has happened to him at the hand of others.

[@mycrimetime]

His mother knew he was going out to sell drug's for the weekend festival and he was helping himself and not paying for it so now he is in trouble because he is not the gangster person he thinks he is maybe at home but always someone else who is further up the chain and you don't mess around with that. Lucy also lying about where he was too police and searches don't have a chance when lucy has not told the truth. The 30,000 is money he owed the gangsters for taking drug's and not paying. Fact

[@ellebrook3413]

This statement appears to have been put together by more than one person. From the TV interview, Lucy sounds young, yet here uses words/ phrases such as " aware of his surroundings/ desperately needed/miles from civilization/secluded location/frantically" that sound like they came from an older person embellishing/re-writing Lucy's words for dramatic effect/authenticity/to underline the gravity of the situation. While I understand in such a case, close family members would need to scramble to book flights/take time off work to go to Tenerife which would cost money, I'd like to think in a genuine missing person case, you'd just put it on a credit card and sort things like paid holiday later and focus on finding the guy before crowd funding....

In terms of the excess information, she also said that, "One of the people he has met has hired a car out of here, so he's driven them back to his apartment and Jay has gone there not realising how far away it is." Seems like all of this including the hire car information is quite detailed for someone who only spoke to Jay when his battery was on 1 percent and he was lost. There is quite a detailed back story which does appear pre-emptive. There's also the new photo of her partying next to Jay in the night club which is said to be from the early hours of the morning (although the police are keeping the exact timing rather close to their chests). She said she 'left early' but did not specify what time this was.

[@Emsie76]

My senses flew off the charts when I was watching Lucy’s interview. She said Tuesday in the interview, that she immediately called 911, on Monday morning to report him missing. She claimed that right after explaining to the interviewer that she told Jay to “stay where you are, I will come to pick you up” Wouldn’t you try to find him before reporting him missing? Well the emergency number here is 112. Not 911, How can you forget something so important in 24 hrs?…don’t sit right with me. Then she claims the police said they’d send a helicopter out to search for him. When does LE do that from a single phone call? When she was interviewed on screen, she had her back to the camera. Concealing her identity. Something is wrong, I don’t appreciate the way she’s trashing on the emergency services. I get the frustration. Yet all our guys are out there. We have 3 tiers of police here Local, National and Guardia, and they’re all out there searching. Including mountain rescue, and fire department. Shame is that Jay has an abundance of fruit out there and probably doesn’t even know it. These barrancos are full of cactus, with fruits known as “prickly pear” to some. Jay probably went to get more drugs from their apartment after paying them. Probably expecting to drive back with them all. The guys have been questioned and left the island on Tuesday when given the go ahead. There is a very short video of Jay at the club, and his jaw is uncontrollable. I’m not proud to admit, yet I was young once too, and in my experience, he was definitely on something illegal. It’s sad. I do think they’ll find him. Yet I don’t think it will be a rescue. Sad.

She and Jay went together to Tenerife. They went to a 48 hour "rave", where drinks, drugs and loud music were the intent. Lucy has one glaring lie in her Go-fund-me appeal. Jay went back to a "cheap bed & breakfast" house when the rave ended. He was with 2 other guys. He was seen and spoken to the next day. I've looked at Jays criminal record and it is attrocious. He's a drug dealer and has committed many attacks on others, one where he used a machete. I'm convinced that Jay and Lucy planned his disappearance and gfm money scam. Go-fund-me has announced that it will not release any money until they have spoken to some relevant people.

[@isoguy.]

Just discovered this facinating analysis of Lucy's statement. Agree Lucy negating her involvement , no reason for go fund me. (possibly greed, this may show detachment from Jay, or she knew exactly what he was doing?) However, if she left early how did she know Jay left with two gentlemen and that jays destination was miles away from civilisation and in a very secluded location? Additional information on the story: 1) Jays parents said he was a very streetwise teenager and was sensible why would he walk in the opposite direction to his intended destination? 2) Jays stepfather said he never walked anywhere, even if a trip was a few hundred yards he would ask for a ride. If this is the case why would he embark on an 11 hour walk? 3) If Jay was going to get the bus, then it follows he had money, one has to ask why did he not call in at the local resturaunt where he may have been able to charge his phone and buy a drink? 4) If as Jay's parents "he was a sensible boy he wouldn't just wander off", if this statement is to be believed then why would he not stay on the road where he could have hitched a ride or got help from the many hikers along the well travelled route, apparently there are many hiker's and vehicles that travel that route. 5) It was reported that a neighbour of the airb&b whom Jay had asked when the next bus was due going south to his intended destination had driven past Jay walking on the road in the wrong direction e.g. into the mountains and not in the direction Jay asked of the bus which he had asked about. Was Jays asking about the bus travelling south intended deception on jays behalf should the police enquire later? 6) If the neighbour saw Jay walking in the wrong direction into rugged terrain, might they have stopped to ask if he was okay, or if Jay was the sensible, streetwise kid, as per-ported by his parent and Jay in the phone call to Lucy at 08:30 said he had no water, his phone was on 1% and had an injury would he have not flagged down the vehicle? 7) There are deep inconsistencies in the time lines of reported events! 8) The later information regarding Jay having stolen a Rolex may be a diversion in an attempt to explain why he was discovered walking in the wrong direction after asking the neighbour for the bus times going in the opposite direction. I could go on for hours on this subject and the inconsistances. Of course my analysis of the information and statements could be erroneous if peoples statements or reported facts were wrong.

Theres more to this than people involved are letting on

[@lynnfern2116]

Amongst the several 'odd' turns of phrase in the Go Fund Me statement, is what appears to me to be the even more odd target figure quoted. Why £30,000? £10,000 would have been more than adequate to pay for the family to travel to Tenerife & rent accommodation. Go Fund Me appeals frequently far exceed the target amount. Lucy would have been well aware of this. Therefore, this raises a very important question: was £30,000 an amount of money which was very much NEEDED for some reason or other? Her GFM statement is all about her, & screams to me of misdirection & untruth.

[@Arcticnick]

Again, according to 'the media', Jay's mother was initially against the GoFundMe account, which Lucy opened without any communication with the family. However it appears Jay's mum changed her mind even though the British embassy is apparently financially supporting the families trip to Tenerife. So, why would she change her mind? Could it be that the exact GoFundMe sum request of £30,000 is coincidentally the same amount as the ransom for Jay's return and that Lucy had to explain that to Jay's mother, and if so might account for anomalous responses in interviews by the parents? The exact sum of £30,000 is mentioned in the detailed text message sent via social media, and related to the eight young drug traffickers whose lives are (it claimed) in great danger if the money isn't returned... Lucy has not shown us her face neither has she offered her full name. The video is named 'KZbin Asylum', and is 4 days old. I encourage you to kindly watch, if you can please.

it was safe for her to leave alone to go home yet jay goes missing

[@heyjude4679]

Maybe Jay was not functioning well after the long festival weekend, partying, and whatever might have gone on at the apartment with the two older men. Seems odd that he opted to set out on a ten hour walk to his hotel because he missed the bus, rather than wait just ten minutes for the next bus - apparently the bus runs every ten minutes and the bus stop is next to the apartment where the two men were staying. Why didn’t he call for a taxi, or ask someone to call a taxi for him, rather than walk until he has only 1% charge on his phone? Did he intentionally walk ‘until’ only 1% remained, then intentionally disappear?, That could sound like a plan, but if so, whose plan - Jay’s, Lucy’s, unnamed others? I wonder if he was so anxious to get away that he would not wait for the next bus, or if he just was not feeling well and didn’t realise he was so very far from his hotel. Lucy’s GoFundMe does raise questions - my first thought was that she was narrative building rather than simply saying that Jay is missing, and we need help to pay for flights and accommodation for his family, or whatever - but she doesn’t specify how the fund will be used. It raises questions as to why really was she there - was there a reason (GoFundMe) beyond attending the festival? Did Jay go willingly with the older men, or was he taken? Seems odd he would leave with two new much older acquaintances, at night, without a friend. What type of friends let him go - did they - or was he taken? Lucy had already left, so she can say it was nothing to do with her, and it may not have had anything to do with her. Still, she felt like explaining it. Guilt or alibi? Why does she say the area is “far from civilisation”, when there are at least apartments, a shop, and a bus service which runs at ten minute intervals? Hardly a lone shack in the mountains, even if it is off the beaten track - the bus is civilisation. I think it doesn’t look good for Jay - his mother will travel to Tenerife, just to sit in the hotel, but she won’t even visit the search area, or see where her son last was known to have been. Might as well sit at home and wait for news, IMO. Fifteen family members and friends are gathered in Tenerife, so maybe the GoFundMe is to finance all of them - seems like a lot, but Tenerife is nice at this time of year. Jay does have a serious crime in his past, and some speculate that his disappearance could be payback for what he and his friends did to the boy they attacked. I think it’s likely he wanted to get away from the men in haste, and probably was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. There could have been a plan, but maybe not the one he anticipated, if he did. I don’t know. I hope he is found safe, even if he is partying on the other side of the island - seems unlikely after five days, unless he’s part of a GoFundMe scam. I would think that, except it seems dark for two older men to take a young boy they had just met to their apartment, miles across the island, late at night. They could have done something to him, left him unfit to make his way home.

Lucy is talking as if by 8.30am, he was dehydrated and on the point of collapse. Anyone would think he’d been away from electricity and running water for 24 hours.

Two points: if your battery is at 1%, you TEXT rather than call. And mostly, when abroad, people use Whatsapp which can pinpoint location easily on a map pinged to as many recipients as the sender wants from just one text.

[@LouHillierPsych]

Thanks for another great video! Lucy seems to be trying to absolve herself from any guilt, or negative judgements from others perhaps, for why she "left alone". Even though her statement is clearly trying to imply she DID NOT leave Jay alone with her unnecessary references to "another friend" but not giving a name and "everyone else" and again not giving any names. There were so many elements of her statement that Peter identified as 'sensitive', the one that stuck out to me is the "I left alone" and not saying where she went. I wondered if this was some leakage that accidentally confessed in her language choices what she doesn't want to admit to "I left HIM alone" ... the whole statement is very suspicious. In the British/English "young people going on holiday without adults to Spain" culture it would be usual for parents to give the pre-departure admonition "stick together, look out for each other" or words to that effect - I expect parents in the USA would do the same kind of thing with 'kids' going off for Spring Break alone! I agree with Peter's conclusions that she likely had nothing to do with what has happened to Jay but she is withholding information, perhaps to try to absolve herself from guilt but which, ironically, makes her appear more guilty. I wonder if she will ever come clean?

[@lynnfern2116]

If your 'phone battery is virtually discharged & you're in dire straits, you TEXT to save battery power so your 'phone can continue to 'ping'. Additionally, why not charge his 'phone at the Airbnb? The evidence so far presented seems to suggest that he never went to that remote bnb. Lucy later claimed that she had 'tracked down' the location of the Airbnb, knocked on the door & was told he had left. Question: If Jay's 'phone was on 1%, how was she able to glean sufficient information from him before the battery actually died? Question: How do we know that Lucy ever received a call from Jay? We only have Lucy's word that she received a call from him. I'm convinced that Lucy knows exactly what happened.
