Jay Slater: Missing man in Tenerife was on first holiday with friends

The mum of a man missing in Tenerife has said her son had been excited for his first holiday with friends.

His family said he got into a car with two men he met in the early hours of Monday and ended up in a national park about 40 minutes drive away.Shortly before 09:00 BST that morning he called his friend Lucy and said he was trying to make the 10-hour walk back to their accommodation in Playa de las Americas, but needed water and had 1% battery on his phone.Social media posts from Sunday evening showed a smiling Mr Slater in a grey t-shirt with green patches on the shoulders.

His last known location was on a path in the mountainous Rural de Teno national park in the north-west of the island."It was his first holiday abroad with his friends and I was encouraging him to go, I said 'you will have a great time'." Ms Duncan said her son did not appear to be in fear or worried about the men he had left with when he called Lucy.
