Living Nostradamus has likened Jay Slater’s disappearance to a movie. The self-proclaimed Brazilian predictor of the future claims harmless speculation has created a cruel web of suspicion.
The 19-year-old went missing on June 17 after travelling from a rave to the remote Airbnb in the mountains with two men. Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire had posted a Snapchat video of himself at the Casa Abuela Tina, near the Tenerife village of Masca, shortly before making his last phone call to a pal before he disappeared.

It wasn’t long, however, for suspicions over the missing person case’s legitimacy to erupt from members of the public as Jay’s criminal past resurfaced. Athos Salomé says conspiracy theories swirling into overdrive from sceptical TikTok sleuths, has damaged the investigation into the teen’s welfare.

Despite Athos’ psychic powers falling short of being unable to help find Jay without a belonging of his, he’s been keeping a close eye on the case. As a result, the man seer who says he predicted Covid-19 and the late Queen’s death, has drawn comparisons to the 2005 movie, Cry Wolf.
The eerie film follows teenagers at a posh boarding school who fabricate a serial killer and hint at their next victims, only for real murders to follow.

According to IMBD: “When the described victims actually do start turning up dead, suddenly no one knows where the lies end and the truth begins. As someone or something begins hunting the students themselves, the game turns terrifyingly real.”

He told the Daily Star: “What begins as harmless falsehoods escalates into a web of suspicion, mistrust and tragedy. The movie explores how untrue stories can quickly transform into realities.
“Jay’s sudden disappearance triggered a flurry of speculation and misinformation muddying the waters of the investigation. The proliferation of falsehoods could be an obstacle hampering the search progress, which is deeply distressing for the anxious family yearning for any sign.”

The psychic continued: “In this high stakes scenario, falsehoods are used to obscure the truth. The complex network of narratives surrounding Jay Slater’s disappearance hampers search efforts. Presents obstacles in uncovering clues.
“While ‘Cry Wolf’ explores themes of dishonesty and manipulation, Jay Slater’s mysterious disappearance warrants an evidence based investigation.

“By delving into the movie’s themes we can gain an understanding of Jay’s predicament to uncover any deceit or manipulation. Salomé underscores the significance of having a strategy to unveil the truth amidst a flood of misinformation.”
