A friend of Jay Slater has said the two British men he was last seen with actually met the teenager three days prior.
Brad Hargreaves was staying in Tenerife with the 19-year-old before he vanished while trying to make the 11-hour walk back to where he was staying from the village of Masca and he has now made the new claim about the duo. As reported by the Mirror, after a night out on Sunday Jay had gone back to the Masca Airbnb where the men were staying at the close of the NRG Tenerife Weekender festival.
The apprentice bricklayer from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, was last heard from when he called pal Lucy Law, who he was staying with on the Monday morning. He said he was trying to walk home and his phone was about to die. On Sunday a two-week search of the area around where his phone was last tracked to was called off after crews failed to find anything.
Initial reports claimed Jay met the two unnamed men the night before while out with friends, before going back to the Masca Airbnb with them. But now friend Brad has said they actually met days earlier, sparking confusion over what really happened.
Speaking to This Morning's Isla Traquair, Brad said he thought he had initially heard Jay slipping and falling on the rocks. Crime reporter Isla said Jay had met the men three days earlier, not the night before as initially reported.
In her report, she said: "The two men that he went to go and stay with, they had met them three days before. They hung out with them, they made friends on holiday. It wasn't two random people he'd met that night. They'd established a friendship and Brad said they seemed like really cool guys."
The Civil Guard said on Saturday it had since spoken to and ruled out the men from their investigation. Head
