The last people to see missing British teenager Jay Slater say they ‘directed him towards a bus stop’ and then he left, it was revealed last night. 

Worried friends have tracked down two people the 19-year-old bricklayer from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, went off with the night before he went missing.

Jay was last seen getting into a car with two people he met on Sunday night after NRG music festival in south Tenerife.

He is believed to have travelled with them to a property in Rural de Teno Park, about 40 minutes drive from where he was staying in Playa de las Americas. 

Jay was reported missing on Monday morning after he rang his friend to say he had missed a bus and walking home, but was lost, dehydrated and only had one per cent battery on his phone. He has not been seen since.

Last night, Lucy Law revealed more about the panicked phone call she received from Jay, including that he had ‘cut his leg on a cactus’ as he tried to walk along the remote path. 

Shedding light on his last known contact, the teenager told Sky News how Jay had posted a Snapchat image of some mountains next to the house he had been to, and using vital clues drove around looking for the property. 

She said: ‘We managed to find the house. I knocked on the door and there were two people there.’

The occupants told her how Jay had gone out for a cigarettes before going back in and saying he wanted to go home.

Jay’s final Snapchat picture is an out-of-focus image of a hand holding a cigarettes at a property in the Buenavista del Norte area at 7.30am on Monday.

‘They told me he’d spoken to the next door neighbours and they’d told him there was a bus every 10 minutes back down to Los Cristianos,’ she said.

‘The bus stop was right next to the house. So obviously if he’d gone to get the bus he wouldn’t have got lost because it [the stop] was visible from the front door.’

The search for Jay has entered its third day with mountain rescue crews, sniffer dogs and police scouring the mountainous region on the north-west side of the island for any signs of him.

Around 15 of Jay’s family and friends have flown out to Tenerife to help with the search, including his mother Debbie Duncan, father Warren Slater and brother Zak.

Since he went missing, Ms Duncan has been receiving sickening phone calls from trolls pretending to have kidnapped her son.

Yesterday, she revealed another horrifying message sent to her just moments after touching down in Tenerife.

It read: ‘ ‘Kiss goodbye to your boy, you’re never going to see him again, he owes me a lot of money.’

Distraught Ms Duncan said her son is ‘streetwise’ and ‘not stupid’, now fearing he may have been kidnapped. 

She explained: ‘I’ve got a bad feeling. I’m being warned there’s a lot of bad people in Tenerife. I just think he’s being held against his will. He’s not a stupid lad. He wouldn’t have gone walking down bloody mountains. 

‘There’s no ransom demand come in yet.  I’ve told them [police] my suspicions, that I think Jay’s been taken up north by people against his will.’

Social media posts from the night before show Jay went missing show the teenager smiling in a grey t-shirt with green patches on the shoulders.

In last social media post, he shared an out of focus photo of a hand holding a cigarette at 7.30am at the property where he travelled to with the two men.

Panic erupted when, at around 8.50am, a disoriented Jay called Lucy as he tried to walk back to Playa de las Americas but was thirsty, lost and only had one per cent battery on his phone.

The call cut out and the teenager has not been seen or heard from since, but his last known location was in the remote Rural de Teno Park, a 10-hour walk from where he was staying.

 At 2:30am on Tuesday morning, Jay’s mother Debbie and step-dad Andy Watson, 63, were alerted to his disappearance when police officers knock on their door in the early hours of the morning. 

The officers advised that the best thing they could do was to get ‘yourself out there’.

Whilst police, sniffer dogs and helicopters comb the mountains of the island, Jay’s mother Debbie Duncan and father Warren fly to Tenerife with other relatives and friends to join the search.

Yesterday, concern for Jay’s wellbeing deepens spurred on by a false sighting and several malicious communications sent to his distraught mother. 

Ms Duncan says twisted Brits with ‘northern accents’ had been phoning her with hidden numbers and claiming they had her son captive and were keeping him because he owed them money.

She said: ‘Some of the phone calls I’ve been getting have been horrible. I just don’t know why people would want to do things like this.

‘I’ve been getting lots of prank calls. It’s sickening. People ringing me and saying they’ve got Jay because he owes them money.

‘But it’s not putting me off and I want to keep this in the news because it’s going to increase the chances of Jay being found safe and well which is obviously what we’re praying for.’

Officers had re-focused their efforts on the tourist resorts of Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas after receiving reports of an alleged sighting of the teen. 

Responding to the misleading report of Jay being sighted on the opposite side of the island, Lucy said: ‘Someone has given a false lead to the police saying he’s rang a taxi down to Los Cristianos.

‘If this was the case he would have rang his mum or one of us. I know him well and he would not have us worrying.

‘Someone is trying to deter the police from him being up there. I’m starting to think he’s been kidnapped.’

Police and emergency services continue their search, combing the mountain with drones and sniffer dogs and reportedly stopping motorists in the area.
