TV detective Mark Williams-Thomas who probed Nicola Bulley case urges two mystery British men who were with missing Jay Slater to come forward, saying he is prepared to release a photo of one of them, if they don't. MailOnline's Nick Pisa reports.
GUY ADAMS retraced Jay steps and found signs of the drugs trade everywhere. The spot where the teen's phone vanished is virtually impossible to walk throughYou can buy almost anything on Veronica’s Strip, a neon-lit parade of bars and clubs that runs parallel to the black-sand beach of Playa de las Americas.
It was just another night in the narco-fuelled party capital of the Canary Islands — where the music only stops when the sun comes up, and another raucous summer is just getting started. They then turn inland and navigate the narrow and hairy road to Masca, taking a series of hairpin bends down the side of a 2,000 ft ravine in the process. Slater, who had spent the previous three days at the ‘New Rave Generation’ dance festival on Veronica’s Strip took this very route at around 5am on Monday, June 17.
The ‘free availability of drugs’ on the island is ‘worrying’ is how Mark Williams-Thomas, a former detective acting as a spokesman for the family, put it yesterday. ‘In the past 24-48 hours, information has come to light that gives rise to concern that drugs are a worrying aspect here.’ Pictures and videos of the all-night rave show Slater touring the dancefloor.

Friends of Slater say they were black and hailed from Luton — details which could help investigators identify them should they feel the need. One apparently went by the nickname Johnny Vegas. It has been widely speculated that he was attempting to walk home to his accommodation, a 25-mile trek. But you don’t have to spend long in Masca to realise that no one in their right mind would undertake such a journey, or choose to leave the road.
One possible explanation for his bizarre decision making is of course that he’d had a sleepless night fuelled by drink and drugs and was confused. However, Slater does have something of a colourful past. In 2017, he and a friend, James Currie — then aged 13 — appeared in the local newspaper after a curious incident in their hometown which saw them ambushed by a gang of three Asian men, who jumped out of a car and beat them up.
And last August Slater was to be found at Preston Crown Court where he and seven other youths were found guilty of attacking a teenager with a machete, golf clubs and an axe at an abandoned paper mill in 2021.
