Frame ‘Related last telephone location’ in Teneriffe

Search groups searching for Jay Slater in Tenerife have found a frame belonging to the last known location of the missing British teenager’s cell phone.

The Guardia Civil said its officers and a mountain rescue unit found the body of a gentle person within the Masáca department “after 29 days of continuous searching”.

The 19-year-old was last seen on June 17, after he went to an Airbnb rented by two people with whom he went to a track competition on the island.

A police comment said “preliminary evidence” suggested the man “had an accident or fell in an inaccessible area”.

It added that “the discovery was possible thanks to a continuous and prudent search carried out by the Guardia Civil… in which the natural space was preserved so that it was not filled with visitors.”

Police said that “all evidence” showed that the remains were those of a “missing young British man”.

It said that the complete identification of the frame is still pending.

Treasure LBT World, which accompanies the families of those missing from the country, said the remains were traced to Mr Slater’s clothing and possessions, as well as the last known location of his mobile phone.

The gang said it was “supporting Mr Slater’s community at this distressing time and asking everyone to provide space and privacy to engage with the news”.

Mr Slater’s father Warren Slater described his disappearance as “a living hell” after his mother Debbie Duncan told him of the “pain and suffering” he was going through because of the negative connotations it could have caused.

The search for Mr Slater since his disappearance has involved his community, friends, police and specialist mountain rescue teams as well as volunteers from many countries.

Recently the community of Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire was assisted by a group of Dutch mountain rescuers.

In Oswaldtwistle, the homeland of Mr. Slater, there is information that the search resulted in the discovery of a frame that was used with percussion instruments.

Paul Fitzpatrick, owner of the Hare and Hounds pub, gave this information bbc radio lancashire: “If it is true that it is him then we are all very sad for his family, especially his mother.

“She’s been a great friend to all of us, we’ve known Debbie for years. I’ve been here for 17 years… She’s going to have a baby boy.

“If it is confirmed it is him it would be terrible news.”

The Guardia Civil indicated in its comments that it was members of its Mountain Rescue and Intervention Team who found the “dead body” of a young man.

In the years since Mr. Slater went missing, his community has refused to give up hope.

On Saturday, comments on a professional fundraising web page, which has raised more than £50,000 for search efforts, described him as “a normal, hard-working young boy from Lancashire who was very much loved by everyone who knew him.” Loves”.

“Although we have no answers to her disappearance, we obviously have to stay positive,” her good friend Lucy Mae Regulation posted to her and her community.

Lancashire Police, which had by now been deployed to help with the search through Tenerife police, said in a comment that it had been “informed today by the Guardia Civil that they have found the body of a man and the indication is that it It’s Jay Slater”.

The comment said: “While no formal identification has been made at this stage, our thoughts are with Jay’s family at this time, and we will continue to offer them our support.”

Search groups had to deal with difficult conditions during the search for Mr Slater.

Teneriffe is a volcanic island within the Atlantic Ocean archipelago of the Canary Islands, and the department where Mr. Slater last opened is full of steep cliffs and gorges.

The land is dry and covered with cacti.

In his final phone call to his friend Ms Regulation, shortly before his phone battery ran out, Mr Slater is said to have told her he was bleeding and needed H2O.

Brad Hargreaves, another friend of Mr Slater’s closest, said in a television interview that Mr Slater had made a video call to him just before Ms Regulation’s call, and indicated that the road he was walking on had slipped. .

Within days of Mr Slater’s disappearance, social media was awash with theories as to what had happened to him, including ideas of foul play.

The Guardia Civil never suggested that they believed any harm had come to Mr Slater through any other person or persons.

However, this did nothing to suppress the broader hypothesis.

His network and friends said he had found himself a victim of online trolls.

Rachel Hargreaves, the mother of Mr Slater’s friend Bradley Hargreaves, told the BBC that she had received a friend request from a fake account using a photo of her late mother as its profile image.

“Things don’t normally reach me”, he said, although it did have an impact on him.

“We’re living the worst nightmare you can live and it doesn’t help,” he said.

Mr Slater’s mother also contacted disgruntled people due to the internet frenzy surrounding the case.

“Unfortunately there is so much negativity and it is only increasing the heartbreak of the unknown,” he said in an update on the GoFundMe web page, adding that he is fully prepared to help pay for the search.
