The Civil Guard concluded last Sunday the search operation for the young British man Jay Slater, who has been missing in Tenerife since June 17th, but all lines of investigation related to the case remain open, as reported by security sources to EFE.
The law enforcement agency has concluded the operation set up to try to locate Slater after an unsuccessful search in which agents, helicopters, drones, and even specialised dogs in searching for people in large terrain areas, belonging to the Canine Service of the Civil Guard moved from Madrid, participated.
Yesterday around thirty people took part in a massive search organised by the Civil Guard in the Masca area, in the municipality of Buenavista del Norte, Tenerife, after requesting the collaboration of all volunteer associations and private individuals experienced in rugged terrain, Masca, which is a rocky area, full of slopes and with numerous ravines, trails, and paths.
Jay Dean Slater, 19, disappeared on the evening of June 17th and the search operation was extended to other areas of Buenavista del Norte, beyond the Masca ravine, where he was last geolocated before his mobile phone ran out of battery.
The young man had travelled to Tenerife with some friends to attend a concert, and, according to a friend, he met two individuals with whom he apparently went to the Masca area.
That day, the young man called his friend to say he was lost and thirsty, and his mobile phone had only 1% battery left.
The disappearance of the young man was reported that day and since then a search operation was launched, with his family having moved to Tenerife to closely follow the efforts and collaborate as much as they can.

Several British media outlets have reported a “potential sighting” of the young man in Santiago del Teide and have shared a blurred image captured by a webcam showing the silhouette of a seemingly young person walking several hours after he was last traced.
