Development near where Jay Slater was last seen 'built to make area safer'

The challenging terrain around Masca, with its dense desert vegetation, narrow dusty paths, cacti barbs and falling rocks from sheer cliff faces, is a place for experts only. One wrong move in this harsh landscape can lead to dangerous consequences.

Over two weeks since he went missing, the ground search for him has been suspended. There's been no sign of him, and Spanish authorities have no solid leads on his location, reports the Express. On Saturday, a high turnout of visitors was seen integrating with numerous police officers, mountain rescue personnel, and volunteers in what has been described as the pinnacle of efforts to locate any trace of Jay on the challenging terrain. A local observed, "There are many tourists and many walkers and hikers who come here. The road was supposed to make it safer for them, but here we are.

The search for the 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer, helmed by Tenerife's Civil Guard, was concluded on Sunday, June 30. Although extensive resources including sniffer dogs, a helicopter, and mountain rescue professionals have been deployed since June 17 when Jay was declared missing, the proactive search has now halted.

29-year-old Paul put a charity fundraiser on hold and spent hundreds of pounds to fly to the island and participate in the search and rescue operations on June 22. On Saturday, he posted a scathing TikTok video, labelling the final major search as a 'massive PR thing' before the efforts were abruptly halted the next day.
