Privacy NoticeMark Williams-Thomas – an investigative journalist and former detective – who is looking into the disappearance of Jay Slater, claims there is a “distressing” video making the rounds. There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding the case, with many members of the public trying to do their bit to help. However, in a video that’s been circulating, which was thought to have included a sighting of Jay, Mark said the video is not recent – and therefore cannot be the missing teen. The former UK police detective wrote: “Update on a Video : lots of people are contacting us about a distressing video that is circulating . The video was first posted on a social media site 9years ago & therefore cannot be Jay Slater.” Mark is involved in the search for missing teen Jay Slater in Tenerife and has been keeping the nation up to date on the nineteen-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire. Jay last made contact with friends on June 17.

Jay is known to have stayed at an Airbnb in the rural Masca village with two British men before vanishing at around 8.50am as he attempted to make his way back to the touristy town of Los Cristianos. The latest development comes after Mark turned his attention to an alleged ‘stolen Rolex’, revealing Jay had posted a video on Snapchat boasting about the theft of a £12,000 Rolex, just hours before he vanished. He explained: “On route Jay posted a Snapchat saying that they had taken a £12,000 Rolex from a person. We have been unable to validate this in terms of a reported theft. However, friends of Jay he would not make this up and the watch was the subject of a later conversation between them.”

Mark also alleged that Jay was scared when he left the holiday rental where he was last seen, adding the teenager couldn’t go back to the property, despite this being the most ‘sensible course of action’. The detective said: “We have received information that would suggest Jay left the rental property feeling scared and that he would not return to the rental, even though that would have been the most sensible course of action, and also where he could have charged his phone and got water.” Best known for exposing how deceased BBC host Jimmy Savile exploited girls in the documentary The Other Side of Jimmy Savile, Mr Williams-Thomas joined the search for Jay – who is from Oswaldtwistle, Lancs – after offering his assistance to Jay’s 55-year-old mother, Debbie Duncan. Mr Williams-Thomas flew to the island on June 24, and was being seen conducting inquiries at the holiday rental and Papagayo nightclub, which is one of the last spots where Jay was spotted before disappearing. He has also been privy to discussions with close family members and friends of Jay, including best friends Brad Hargreaves, 19, and Lucy Mae Law, 18, both of whom were holidaying with Jay. The detective says he continues to engage closely with Jay’s family and even shared an initial report with his findings last week.Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
