Jay Slater missing – latest: Police ‘call off search’ almost two weeks after teen disappeared in Tenerife

The search for missing British teenager Jay Slater has been called off nearly two weeks after he disappeared in a remote part of Tenerife .

As the gruelling search entered its thirteenth day, Spanish police said the hunt for the 19-year-old from Lancashire had ended with the case remaining open.

The 19-year-old vanished nearly two weeks ago near Buenavista del Norte, Tenerife, after travelling there with two men he had met at a festival around 27 miles further south on the island.

It comes after the teenager’s father Warren Slater revealed he was “disappointed” that just six volunteers turned out to join the search for his son after police issued an appeal for help.

Meanwhile, police declared that the two British men who put up the missing British teenager the night before he disappeared are of “no relevance” to the investigation.

The teenager was last seen wearing a white T-shirt with shorts and trainers, and his phone shows his last location as the Rural de Teno park at 8.50am on Monday 17 June.
