Story

On June 17, 2023, Jay Slater, a 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, went missing while on holiday in Tenerife, Spain. He was attending a three-day music festival with friends when he left their Airbnb in the village of Masca. After a night of partying, he vanished, prompting a search that involved his family retracing his steps in the challenging terrain of the Canary Islands. The search was complicated by the presence of amateur sleuths and conspiracy theorists, which hindered official efforts to locate him. Tragically, Jay's body was discovered on July 15, 2023, in a remote ravine, nearly a month after he was reported missing. A UK post-mortem examination concluded that he died from traumatic head injuries consistent with a fall from height. This finding raised questions about the circumstances leading to his death, particularly why he left the Airbnb and did not return. Mark Williams-Thomas, an investigative journalist, has been actively looking into the case and claims to have insights into the mysteries surrounding Jay's disappearance. He has been working closely with Jay's family to ensure that any information revealed does not add to their trauma. The investigation continues as the family seeks closure and answers regarding the tragic events that led to Jay's untimely death.
