It's interesting seeing the reactions to these missing person's cases. With Michael Mosley, there was widespread concern, a great search followed by an outpouring of public grief, he was a man who will be remembered very fondly by many due to his work as a public doctor, his kind demeanor and goodness as a married family man. But with Jay Slater, once people found out about his past the public perception rapidly turned from him being a likeable and relatable youth who got lost after a night out in a foriegn country, to this teenage antisocial hoodlum with a violent criminal past, a blight on his local community (and who never properly repented for his actions) and who travelled to another country to rave, take drugs and possibly commit other crimes on their turf. And so angered are people by this (on both sides!), that the reaction by many to the search being called off so early can pretty much be summed up as "Good riddance", with many people being more sympathetic to the locals put through this drama than the family who've lost a son. And people distrust and dislike the missing mans family not just because of the mindset that to produce such an individual he must have been raised by amoral people, but various actions on their part have worsened the lack of trust, i.e. the friend not revealing potentially crucial information until almost 2 weeks afterwards, to the family not actively searching for him themselves (and apparently being rude to locals). They say that all human life is equal, but I think that nobody actually views it that way in real life, with how someone choosing to conduct their life very much affecting others perception not just of their value to society, but as a human being (full stop). I hope that the body is found soon (and lets face it, if he did get lost in the wilderness then we probably are looking at a body and not a survivor at this point) and that this all turns out to be a tragic accident rather than something far more sketchy which happened because of the man's actions (or his friends or families actions), because not only would the latter cement their reputation as terrible no-good people potentially for the rest of their lives (which will also be a burden & a curse that their future children may have to carry & undo too), but also harm the reputation of British tourists as a whole. This is all a very sobering lesson that if you want people to value your life, then you need live like a decent human being.

[@manichairdo9265]

@crushedmoon1503 Awe. So sad. My dad drowned as well due to an unexpected storm causing the shallow stream to turn into a raging river about 7 feet deep. He slipped on the walkover, which has since got hand rails. Fortunately, there was wired mesh across another walk over where he was found, or else he would have been swept to sea. It was on the news, and a journalist harassed my mam until my brother led him away from the door by his throat. But overall, the response by everyone was incredible.

Just an observation, Is anyone keeping an eye out for the bird life on the island? Are there Buzzards, Vultures, even crows over there, that are usually very good at finding anything that has passed away. Buzzards in particular would circle round in the sky if they can find something to eat.

Why didnt the family put 10k on the table for the volunteers/rescuers? And maybe more people would have turned out, And why not offer the other 30k for the safe return of jay? As a reward, an incentive for some information, the family should do something, atleast.

I'm probably being very naive here. Why did he go with those two men into the moutains?

[@oldgregg86.]

Drugs probably.

[@pajeetkumar1645]

According to local sources on the island, it is common practice for dealers to distribute pills to individuals like young Jay to sell within the venues. These individuals, after selling the pills, remit the proceeds to the dealers, keeping any surplus as profit. However, on occasion, pills are lost or money goes missing. In Jay's case, he lost the money and, in an attempt to recover it, accompanied two older men with the intention of robbing them. This is why the two men informed the police that he attempted to steal a Rolex from them. Interestingly, the term "Rolex" also refers to a highly coveted brand of pills.

[@LittlePinkPiggy1]

He walked up to that viewing platform, turned his phone of, threw is glasses and jumped in someone's car down to beach and waiting boat to whisk him away. Maybe...... Then again that area around the house he went, and I mean the immediate surroundings looks hazardous. Bhe could have tripped and be wedged behind the rocks. And a wall right next to the house. It happened in Las Americas not too long ago. A Brit took a taxi there never to be seen again. 3 years later he was found over a wall between a gap, not far from where he got out the taxi.

[@JayJay-ki4mi]

Jay was slinging. He owed a debt. Mom took the 30k out. She's off over there to pay it. He's with the people he owes the money to (Moroccans). The airbnb was used by the debt collectors to collect their cash and leftovers. Jay didn't have his. They called the Moroccans and kept him there until they arrived. He tried to flee the house, that's why he didn't wait for the bus and they wouldn't allow him to charge his phone. He had 1% and decided to leg it and try get help before his battery dies. The Moroccans picked him up on the roadside shorty after his battery died. It's been called off because police now know this. Mom is aware of what is happening. She got a text on her phone from the Moroccans.

[@annalau2596]

Ideally take a personal locator beacon to the mountains. If you don't have one and you rely on your phone, always bring a powerbank with several charges. In general, when traveling the powerbank will help in many situations, I always have one and I am never in the need of finding a charging station. In his situation, he had network and it would have been best to share his location with the friend and stay put and wait for rescue.
