Jay Slater search in Tenerife moves to new area as crews focus on ravine

A huge search operation has been taking place in Tenerfie for five days now for British teenager Jay Slater but he remains missing.

His last known live location was in the popular hiking area Rural de Teno national park where the search remains as a focus today. Here is a recap of the full timeline of Jay's disappearance with verified information following speculation online regarding conspiracy theories. What we know about Jay Slater's disappearance What questions remain unanswered? Where is Jay Slater? Police on the island have stated that they are doing everything possible to locate the missing teenager, working closely with the British Embassy. Jay's last confirmed location was in Rural del Teno, a mountainous area in the island's west, near the town of Santiago del Teide. He had been staying in an apartment in the south of the island with friends.

Why didn't Jay wait for a bus or make other travel arrangements? According to his friend Lucy, Jay had met with other friends, one of whom drove him to another part of the island in a hire car. After missing his bus back, Jay found himself in the rural, mountainous area and attempted to make the journey back on foot.

What was Jay's state of mind? Jay's family and friends believe he was of sound mind when he went to walk back to the south of the island. Ms Duncan, of Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, added: "I just think it was a question of him not knowing the island well enough because it was his first time here and being a bit disorientated when it came to distances and not realising it was a 10-hour walk from where he went missing to his holiday accommodation.
