Mountain rescue teams near the village of Masca, Tenerife, where the search for missing British teenager Jay Slater, 19, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, continues. Above a lush and rugged valley in Tenerife’s Rural De Teno national park, a police officer from Spain’s civil guard surveys the landscape with binoculars.
Ofelia Medina Hernandez, the owner of the Airbnb where Slater went after the festival, said she was “very worried” about him, and added: “It’s not our fault.” Police at the La Cruz de Hilda viewpoint, where the search has been concentrated, said on Friday that there were no updates. Slater’s last known contact with friends was on Monday morning, when he texted his friend Lucy, who had been at the festival with him but had left before him.
“We’ve been here since Tuesday and I’ve seen the helicopter once, we’ve seen the drones once, and I’ve seen one dog.”Slater’s last Snapchat post was a photograph of him smoking a cigarette, believed to have been taken inside the Airbnb. Friends have been collecting cigarette butts they have found while searching in the undergrowth, in case they may come in useful as evidence later.
They said there were about 25 voluntary rescue workers involved, and that rescuers had spent the morning descending into the ravines to reach the bottom.
