Seven days have passed since Jay Slater vanished after partying at New Rave Generation (NRG) music festival in the Spanish island of Tenerife.
The 19-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, was last heard from when he called a friend at 9am on Monday.
He had missed his bus back to the apartment in the town of Los Cristianos where he was staying at, and faced a 10-hour walk back.
His last known location was on a path in the mountainous terrain of the Rural de Teno national park on the north-west of the island.
Emergency workers met in various locations throughout the day, combing bushes, overgrown terrain, hillsides and rivers but failed to find the missing teenager.
Fears are growing about what has happened to the apprentice bricklayer after yet another day passed with no major breakthroughs in the case.
This was Jay’s first holiday abroad without his family
Metro.co.uk has now put together a timeline of Jay’s disappearance, from where he was last seen – as shown in a TikTok video – to the sight of the search.
