Jay Slater’s family share possible CCTV sighting of missing Brit ten hours after he disappeared

Jay Slater’s family share possible CCTV sighting of missing Brit ten hours after he disappeared

The search for the 19-year-old Brit has now entered its eighth day

Further footage of missing Brit teenager Jay Slater has been shared by his family as they believe CCTV cameras may have picked up on a potential sighting hours after he disappeared.

The frantic search for the 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer in Tenerife has now entered it's eighth day, but authorities have still been unable to locate him.

Jay had been on the island to attend the New Rave Generation festival with his friends, but, according to his pal, chose to stay out with a group of people he met on Sunday evening (16 June) and ended up travelling to a remote Airbnb.

He is then said to have attempted to make his way home the following morning, before phoning his friend Lucy Law to inform her that his phone was about to lose battery, he needed a drink and that he had cut his leg on 'a cactus'.

It has now been a week since Jay was last heard from and despite extensive searches taking place across the island, he has still not been found, and his family are growing increasingly concerned about his whereabouts.

Efforts to find the 19-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, have been amped up further this week - but even those involved have said its 'increasingly strange' that the teenager hasn't been found.

Now, in the latest update on the investigation, Jay's family have released a grainy image which was reportedly captured by CCTV cameras in Santiago del Teide at around 6pm on Monday night - ten hours after he was last seen alive.

A man - who relatives reckon could be the missing lad - is seen walking through the local church square in the footage.

Jay's devastated loved ones have been showing locals the image, as well as putting up posters detailing the case, in the hopes that someone might have seen him.

His mother Debbie Duncan, 55, said she also was informed that a witness alleged that they had saw someone who might have been Jay in the village of Santiago with two men on Monday evening.

She has previously spoken about fears that someone may have 'taken' her son.

Debbie said of the latest leads: "Someone has come forward to say they saw someone who they thought was Jay walking back down the road sat on a bench.

"He was with two men looking a bit worse for wear, and they were by a church, this guy has come forward and told the police about it and they are looking into it. We don't know if it was Jay for sure, but it's a start.

"They said it was about 6pm which is ten hours after he was seen by the lady in the village. But if it was him what was he doing there and who are these two men?"

This potential sighting is yet to be confirmed by the Civil Guard, however, Jay's friends and family claimed they have informed police and that CCTV is now being looked into.

Debbie also issued an update on a GoFundMe page set up to support the family, explaining exactly what the cash would be used for earlier today.
