'Miss you terribly r kid'
The mystery of missing Jay Slater has chilling echoes of the case 20 years earlier of a man who went missing on the Spanish island of Tenerife.
Jay began the treacherous 11-hour trek on foot and called a friend to tell her that his phone was on one percent battery, he was thirsty and had cut his leg on a cactus.An official search has now been called off, but missing Jay's family have been told by Spanish cops they can employ their own search teams.
Promoter Kevin Ainley, 24, was from Fleetwood, Lancashire, and moved to the tourist area of Playa de las Americas three months before disappearing on June 14, 2004.His passport and belongings were found in his apartment. Spanish police launched an investigation which Lancashire Police later reviewed, but Kevin was never found. In a 2016 appeal, his sister Gemma Brooke said the family was "desperate for answers".
Jay's phone last 'pinged' somewhere in the mountainous region near the village of Masca, where Spanish police focused their search before officially calling it off last Sunday.
