TikTok sleuth finds clue to Jay Slater’s location as ‘thriller girl’ is flown in

A TikTok sleuth has claimed that a key clue to the whereabouts of missing British teenager Jay Slater has been found, just 24 hours after Spanish police called off the search.

The search for the 19-year-old was official called off yesterday nearly two weeks after he went missing. The Lancashire lad was reported missing in Tenerife on June 17 after he called his friend Lucy, telling her he was lost in a rural area of the island with only 1% battery left on his phone.

His last known location was half a mile north of Masca village. Despite ongoing efforts by emergency workers, including the Civil Guard, mountain rescue team and fire crews, the challenging terrain of the Rural de Teno park is proving difficult to search.

It was revealed last week that TikTok-loving sleuths were flying out to help, with the most famous among them being Paul Arnott, 29. He had been in Tenerife already searching for Jay – unofficially and without Guardia Civil backing – with the family later turning to him for help.
