“They don’t want to believe that he’s possibly just got lost in this hill," the journalist said. She then revealed the parents had issued a statement after coming under scrutiny about a GoFundMe account, as Debbie has released a statement on where the money is going. “The money is going to be used to help cover accommodation and food expenses while the family are out in Tenerife," Isla read.

It's difficult to wrap our heads around what is happening right now, but we are not losing hope that we will find Jay and return home together." She continued: "We are currently working with GoFundMe to withdraw part of the funds, which are being safely held. I wanted to share that these funds will be used to support
