Missing British teen Jay Slater captured dancing in nightclub video hours before vanishing
New footage shows missing British teenager Jay Slater dancing shirtless in a Tenerife nightclub hours before his disappearance.
The 19-year-old was captured on video at approximately 1am last Monday, marking one of the last known sightings before he vanished around 8.50am the same day.
Mr Slater, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, disappeared while attempting a long walk back to his accommodation while on holiday with two friends.
Spanish authorities continue their search for the young Brit, now missing for a week. The newly surfaced clip, shared on TikTok, could provide investigators with fresh leads in their efforts to locate him.
Tenerife police have issued an urgent appeal for information as fears mount for the missing British teenager's safety.
He is seen in one corner of the shot dancing with his shirt off at the NRG music festival, MailOnline reported.
Rescue teams have spent six days searching for him, and on Sunday continued scouring a 2,000-foot-deep ravine in the remote, desert-like Teno Nature Reserve.
On Sunday, they appeared to narrow their efforts on small buildings close to where his phone last pinged.
Officers from the Guardia Civil in the Canary Island could be seen circling two stone structures at the bottom of the ravine. They could be seen looking into blue barrels outside one of the small buildings.
His mother Debbie Duncan, 55, who flew to Tenerife on Tuesday morning to help search for him, said on Saturday: “We just need him home.”
She said she has “not slept” and “can’t give up” on her son.
The party is known to have finished by 5am and Mr Slater is thought to have been with two British men who were not part of his friendship group for the night.
A woman said she saw him at 8.15am walking away from Playa de las Americas - 19 miles away from his own accommodation.
He was last heard from around 8.30am on Monday, when he frantically called his friend Lucy Law, saying he was lost after leaving the villa and trying to walk back to his own accommodation, having missed a bus.
He said he had “cut his leg on a cactus and had no idea where he was”, and that he needed water.
The walk from Mr Slater’s last known location to his accommodation would have taken about 11 hours on foot.
The search parties looking for Mr Slater seemed noticeably smaller on Saturday compared to other days – with only a handful of emergency workers visible in Masca and the surrounding areas.
Firefighters appeared to conduct the majority of the latest searches, as rescue teams, alongside sniffer dogs, set off on a steep gravel track at Rural de Teno Park in the morning.
A fundraiser set up by the last person to speak to Jay Slater, his friend Lucy Law, has hit its target of £30,000.
The GoFundMe created to “get Jay Slater home” had received £31,721 in donations by Sunday evening, three days after it was set up.
