Jay Slater: British TikTok user dismisses final police search for missing teenager as 'massive PR thing'
A volunteer who flew out to Tenerife to help try to find missing Jay Slater has dismissed the final police search for the British teenager as a "massive PR thing". Paul Arnott, who has been sharing clips of his own search effort on TikTok, told Sky News last week that he flew out to Tenerife when he heard the 19-year-old's family "needed help". Mr Slater was last seen on Monday 17 June after he told a friend he planned to walk from the northwestern village of Masca to his holiday accommodation in Los Cristianos in the south - a journey that would take 11 hours on foot.
