Tenerife cafe owner says they spoke to Jay Slater the morning he vanished
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA cafe owner in Tenerife has said she spoke to teenager Jay Slater on the morning he went missing. The 19-year-old from Lancashire has not been seen since Monday morning (June 17) when he told his friend he had just one per cent phone battery and did not know how to get back to his hotel.
His disappearance has prompted a huge search across the north west of the Spanish island, involving the Civil Guard and mountain search teams.
Friday marked the fifth day of intense and gruelling searches in and around the village of Masca, bordered by steep terrain and mountains with just one road in and out.
The vast search area - around 30 square kilometres - is focussing on three main areas, Masca Gorge, La Vica, and Las Portelas.
