Tenerife guide's 'dangerous' Jay Slater update and says 'what was he doing at 8 in the morning'

A Tenerife tour guide has raised concerns following the disappearance of Jay Slater.

Speaking with the Manchester Evening News, Angel, a local guide, expressed his shock: "nothing like this has happened before".

He often travels to Masca and describes the terrain as "dangerous", questioning Jay's activities: "What was he doing at 8 in the morning? " No police statement has been issued regarding a potential sighting of Jay outside a Santiago de Teide church at about 6pm last Monday.

Debbie Duncan, Jay's mother, mentioned that a witness approached the police claiming to have seen her son on a bench alongside two men, not far from Masca where he had stayed in an Airbnb.

Lancashire Constabulary has offered assistance to the Guardia Civil, which was declined by the Spanish authorities. When asked if Spanish police should have accepted help from UK officers, Ms Duncan said: "I believe they said they've got enough resources and they don't need the help from English police.

"I don't know if they find it an insult I really don't know. They say they've got enough resources to get on with the investigation... I don't know, I don't know.", reports Birmingham Live.

Overwhelmed by recent events, she added: "People say: 'Yeah, I understand' no, you don't, you don't understand."

In discussing the message she would send to her son, Ms Duncan stated: "We just need you home, we just need him home."

The 19 year old disappeared during his first ever holiday without family, while returning to his accommodation last Monday morning.
