Missing Brit Jay Slater is among 11 people who have vanished in Tenerife in just six months. The 19-year-old disappeared more than a week ago on Monday, June 17.

The apprentice bricklayer had been at the three-day NRG music festival when it is understood he met two men and travelled with them to an Airbnb in a remote part of the island. He is said to have called a friend to say he was lost, needed a drink and had one per cent battery left.

His last known location has been traced to Rural del Teno, a mountainous area in the west of the island. Investigators are now said to be searching the area near a ravine where Jay's phone last 'pinged'.
