The detective leading the search for missing Jay Slater has explained why the British teen's family declined to take part in a press conference.
Debbie jetted off to the Canary Islands with other family members as the family desperately continues their search, holding onto hope that the young apprentice bricklayer will be found safe and sound. Cops are now honing in on the area where Jay's mobile last pinged, as they scour a ravine in the island's rugged landscape.READ MORE: Teenager killed after e-scooter struck by bus
"Since I have been here and worked with the family, I have spent yesterday with them and the night before and they are very, very united family and they are very supportive and their one mission of course is to find out what happened to Jay. They still live with the hope that Jay will return and he is, not safe, but still alive."
