[@GreenGreenBlossom]

As a non-native English speaker living in the UK, I have learned a new word thanks to the Jay Slater case: treacherous.

[@jesclifford88]

It’s a good word 😅

[@CelticSaint]

It's a good adjective. Enjoy!

[@BladeRunner0029]

Another one is he's brown bread 🍞

[@Tito-en5nv]

Truculent is the same word but in its behaviour form. The judge called Morrissey truculent.

[@firstmotorhome8024]

How were these his last steps? As I’ve said before . Just because his mobile phone pinged back a return signal to the cell tower, this does not mean the phone was in his possession. Anybody could’ve taken it there. The Snapchat picture does not show Jay it shows someone with boots on and holding a cigarette. The press seem to be falling for the picture that has been painted by people that are hiding the truth.

On that note, I'm really trying *not* to engage in news about this lad because it's all part of the supply and demand circle. It doesn't help Jay or his family much. x

[@sp-pz8uc]

I once was in Greece and waited for a bus. Only to realise when the bus turned up I was on the wrong side of the road. I think he may of walked the wrong way because, he forgot the bus stop goes the opposite way, then walked the wrong way. Because their was most likely 2 bus stops. One for carrying on and one for going back. He muddled up the fact they drive on the right. I think that's the reason.

[@BobWynn]

Good point

[@sp-pz8uc]

​@@BobWynnCan only be that if he walked away freely.

[@springchicken893]

That might count for the fact that he walked in the opposite direction. Missed many a bus because of that.

[@mellowmarkable]

There is only one bus stop at that location, it's a narrow road with a wall right next to the road on the other side. I got off at that stop coming from the North (stayed at another Airbnb next to the one in the video) and got on the bus at the same stop to go South when I left 3 days later. But, yes he may have assumed that because the bus stop was on that side, that that was the direction to go in. There are actually some steps across the road which lead to a footpath that takes you up to the viewpoint in this video a lot quicker than walking along the road, but of course he would not have known that... You would think that you would check your phone (map) before setting off though to at least see how far the walk was and that you were heading in the right direction.

[@HayleyGardening22]

If you put his hotel into apple maps from that location (which is what most of us young people do to find a way somewhere) the apple maps directs you up the hill, so if he was using his phone, thats exactly the way he would go.

[@johnnyland144]

Why aren't the police questioning his friend Lucy? There's definitely more to this than is being reported.

[@CelticSaint]

The fact that they are taking her word as gospel that she talked to Jay is surprising. There is no evidence that they spoke. Only her word.

[@jameshollyoak8230]

He didn’t stay the night , they picked him up at 5am it takes an hour to get there so that’s 6 am he left there apartment at 8am , what was he there for , for roughly two hours ; that’s the question they need to be asking the two men from Luton

[@helenvictoria371]

Exactly! And these 2 men weren't even at the rave, so where did he meet them? What time? Did they go specifically to pick him up after the rave? Was it planned? Or did they just meet him on the street after the rve ended? They need to be explaining everything to the public not just giving bits and bobs. If they don't want conspiracy theories they need to be transparent.

[@brettpilkington9539]

​@@helenvictoria371they were going to the rave, you have wrong information, what is odd is that they chose a remote Airbnb far from the parties but that could just to do with costs, maybe the accomodation close to the festival was extortionate so they just decided to do the journey each day for cheaper.

[@helenvictoria371]

@brettpilkington9539 no I thought they went to the rave too, up until yesterday that was what had been implied. However it was reported yesterday that both men never went to the rave. I will find the video of the interview/video I watched and see if i can share it here. I was very surprised to hear that piece of information for the first time.

[@mellowmarkable]

​@@brettpilkington9539 Does seem a very odd place to stay if you are there to party, surely the car hire plus the petrol would outway any savings on accommodation plus there are loads of places to stay that are much closer. I stayed in Masca because I wanted to see the village after the day trippers leave, do a hike and I am too old for the nightlife and was travelling solo. There are literally only 5 or 6 places to stay in the whole area in and around the village, much more limited choice than almost anywhere in or at least closer to Playa de las Americas where there are loads of places to stay...

[@HayleyGardening22]

They don’t know what time he left with them. It’s estimated between 3-6am, as his mates went home around 3am and the club closed at 6am so it would have had to be in that timeframe meaning he could have been at theirs for 5 hours, not 2 hours. I’m not sure where you got 6am from.

All this is throwing me back to yr 2000 ..young Paul finan, a friend of ours who was such a gentle giant. went to Tenerife with a bunch of 8 men much older than him that he hardly knew. He was found dead after a fall whilst there ... he'd phoned his father the same day upset and wanted to go home early due to being scared for his safety.. because he refused to be a mule for contraband. Years later they reopened the case for a 2nd time after new evidence came forward.. it was all over the world press and I think crimestoppers did a show too. The arrogance of these fellas at both court cases screamed volumes... I've never been to Tenerife and wouldn't want to...

Masca is a beautiful and well trekked area, 100.000s people a year do treks around the area. I was born and raised on the island, my first question is who hires a BnB in Masca if not for the purpose of trekking? No one would get a BnB in Masca to go to a nightclub in Las Americas over an hour away (a much much longer travel time in bus due twisty roads and many stops). Alot of things dont add up to this.

A deceased person would smell (and very distinctively) for hundreds of metres in all directions on hot days. Anyone who has encountered a dead sheep in a landscape will know about this - the odour can be overwhelming, even outside.

I think the whole issue stinks - and while it was a NRG festival, it seems like Jay was left with no NRG and things have done pear shaped. I hope they find him but if they do I sadly don't think he will be alive.

Seriously.? Another tv presenter who's more qualified/experienced to find a missing person?! Obviously hoping Jay is somehow ok and gets home

[@aurora6920]

they have actual police looking, she is just presenting/news reporting, she's being told what to say for tv

[@jc-246]

I just read a comment like this. Is there CCTV of her making a phone call to Jay Slater? Did Jay have his phone, or was it someone else? Did Jay have more than one phone? 😳 It was awful if the friend was lying about the details of the phone call as this could put her in the frame 😮 as Jay surely should be found by now with so many looking on the ground and dogs etc. He hasn't been where they are looking, so perhaps he has gone to another part of Spain? Or another country? Woth people who don't use a tourist passport route, perhaps?

[@hedgehogwildlifejunction9119]

Isla Iraquair thanks for that it did help. Can i ask if you walk right to top of the revine where can you look down to the sea? Is there a place up there you can. Only wondering if any chance he could fall down into the sea? Sometimes with the helicopter by pass you can see the sea at the bottom of the ravine.

They didn’t have any saving in minutes they flew there as life are hard for them as any parent nightmare!!! # Find Young Jay 💙🦋🙏

[@suelong3273]

I am fed up with hearing about it now. How many more people are missing who don't get a mention.

[@Kindcaringsoulgentle]

Thing is ... just because his phone was switched on at that located and there was a GPS signal that pinged there, was there any witnesses to say that they saw him holding his phone and that he was definitely at that exact location. Because just because a signal pinged from there , it's not necessarily to say that HE was there? I mean , right?

[@stephenpope6473]

There is no way he is alive it’s been too long and it’s obvious he has fell

[@thepedanticphoenix]

It's not obvious at all. There are many other reasons as to why he hasn't yet been found, but you're obviously not intelligent enough to think of them. After all, you don't even understand that it's "he has fallen", not "he has fell".

Did she take the drugs on the walk with her???

[@Veronica705]

Jay has not been found on or near the route he took. Therefore I think he probably took a lift from someone. Is there CCTV, or any other record, of vehicles that were on that route at about the time that Jay was on the route? I think that's where the answer is. I feel so terribly sorry for Jay's Mum, she is going through a waking nightmare. I sincerely hope her boy is found alive and well, God bless him. Love from Dublin, Ireland.❤

[@footyball66]

Somali John might have him.

[@acreativiter]

If not found yet is because they are searching in the wrong area or he is concealed. If last known time alive was 9am, he could have walked for 12 hours in any direction or in circles or fallen … it won’t be easy to find. There is the case of a runner found mummified 3 years after he went missing in El Teide national park after going for a run.

[@robertjones-yo4ql]

HOW did the 2 lads he was with leave this area ?

[@Gartho2000]

What you’d to to be a fly on the wall. And follow his next moves. A complete mystery. If people speculate that his phone was taken by someone else to make look like he was at that location, how come the lady saw him there, matching his description. Why would he just wander off and climb mountains, the last thing you’d do. Makes no sense, I was in Tenerife when he went missing, eary

[@acreativiter]

Cause he was under the effect of the drugs?

I live in the same town as this lad. I defo think Lucy and Jays mate need looking into. Wouldnt surprise me if they know more than theyre letting on. I know hes got a past however I do hope the family get some answers.

[@ambergibson1930]

So who says he keeps walking?? Did someone pick him up?? And where was he headed??

[@dannymurphy1779]

No one seems to have spoken to a wildlife expert as yet. If Jay had come to harm then surely birds would be starting to take an interest by now. I think it's a lot more likely now as the days pass by that he got into a car in the evening when the temp was dipping. So I am still hopeful about this.

What about the noises reported comming from the air b ?? the men admitted in the beginning jay got caught trying to steal a watch and they kicked him out also it was reported he went to the shop and bought cigarettes wheres that shop. Nothing adds up or makes sense. Reviews on that mountain on line isn't great by climbers isn't great seems alot of people get robbed and cars broken into.
