Urgent: Search Underway for 19-Year-Old Jay Slater in Oswaldtwistle 🆘

Jay Slater, 19, from Oswaldtwistle, was last heard from on Monday morning as he told a friend he planned to walk back to his accommodation after missing a bus, a journey expected to take around 11 hours on foot.

His friend Lucy – who had gone to the island with him to attend the NRG music festival – said that MJay had gone to stay with people he had met on holiday after a night out.

She said she had received a call from Jay at around 8.15am on Monday after he missed the bus and was trying to walk back although he had said he was lost, needed a drink of water and had only 1% battery on his phone.

Jay’s phone then cut off, with his last location showing as the Rural de Teno park – a mountainous area popular with hikers.
