June 24th 2024.
A young British teenager named Jay Slater went missing while attending a music festival on the beautiful Spanish island of Tenerife, and it seems that his Instagram account has been accessed since he disappeared. This news has been causing quite a stir, as the 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer from Lancashire has been missing for a whole week now. His last known whereabouts were on June 16, when he reached out to his friend Lucy Law to inform her that he was lost and trying to make his way back to their accommodation, but desperately needed water.
The circumstances surrounding Jay's disappearance have been quite unusual and have captured the attention of many conspiracy theorists and internet sleuths. In fact, a Facebook page solely dedicated to finding him has amassed over half a million followers. Rachel Louise Harg, the administrator of the group 'Jay Slater Missing', has revealed that Jay's mother had requested her to address the rumors surrounding her son's Instagram account. Harg clarified that it was not Jay or anyone close to him who had accessed the account, but rather someone else who had logged in.
Harg also expressed her disgust towards those who had been "hacking" into the social media accounts of Jay's family, labeling them as "sick in the head". The search for Jay has been ongoing in the mountainous Rural de Teno National Park, and the local police, rescue dog teams, and firefighters have been tirelessly combing through the difficult terrain in hopes of finding him.
According to Jay's friends and family, he had attended the last day of the music festival in the bustling tourist spot of Playa de las Americas. Afterward, he got into a car with two men he had met and drove to the national park in north-west Tenerife. When he called his friend Law, he explained that he had missed the bus back to Playa de las Americas and decided to embark on a 10-hour journey on foot back home. Unfortunately, he soon got lost, ran out of water, and his phone had only one percent battery left.
The Rural de Teno Park is about a 40-minute drive from where Jay and his friends were staying, making it quite a challenging task to search for him. British mountaineer Paul Arnott, 29, shared with the BBC that he had flown out to Tenerife as soon as he read about the family's plea for help and had joined in the search. Despite his expertise in the field, Arnott admitted that the terrain was making it extraordinarily difficult to cover ground, describing it as "searching for a needle in a haystack". He also expressed his surprise that there weren't more people actively searching for Jay.
The search for Jay Slater continues, and we can only hope for his safe return home. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain a mystery, and we can only pray that he is found soon.
