Two British men who were with missing teen Jay Slater on the night before he disappeared in the northwest of Tenerife have been ruled out of the investigation by police
The Spanish cop leading the mountain search for missing Jay Slater has declared that the two British men who put him up the night before he disappeared are "of no relevance" to the police investigation.
Today's search, which began at Hilda viewpoint, close to the spot where Jay's phone last 'pinged', includes around 30 professionals, including police, fire and mountain rescue officers, as well as six volunteers. Asked if all options are being considered, Mr Martin said: “At the moment, yes. Until we know something we can’t focus on any hypothesis and we work with several possibilities.” Asked which areas it will include, the officer said: “Masca’s been looked at, the Juan Lopez ravine, the Retamar ravine, Las Aneas ravine, Los Carrizales ravine, in all the areas we know he’s been in because his mobile phone coverage is undeniable and places him there.
"But for that to happen you have to leave the road because you’re not going to cut yourself on a cactus being on the road and he’s had to go into the mountains obviously.” “In a certain way we’re going to see more than with the drone, because although the drone offers an aerial view, we’re going to be seeing everything we’ve got beside us, and the instructions are that those searching don’t lose sight of the other person so no areas will be missed out in the search.”
