The search for Jay Slater in Tenerife is continuing
A former senior officer at the Metropolitan Police has said he believes Jay Slater has either plunged into a ravine, deliberately disappeared or has even been kidnapped.
Peter Kirkahm, who served in the country's biggest police force for more than 20 years, at all ranks up to Detective Chief Inspector, has given a grim assessment of the situation as the search for him enters its 12th day. "A second possibility, which must always be considered, is that Jay has deliberately disappeared for some reason. As we find out more about him, it seems he has a somewhat chequered past which may well have led to his disappearance. The police will be pursuing lines of enquiry related to his background and domestic circumstances to identify if this is a viable possibility.
"The reports that Jay had left his friends and gone off with two men he had apparently just met whilst clubbing make this a possibility requiring urgent investigation. The two men who reportedly say that Jay left them in good health are the key start point here and the police in Tenerife should be prioritising investigation of this line of enquiry.
