A former senior officer at the Metropolitan Police has said he believes Jay Slater has either plunged into a ravine, deliberately disappeared or has even been kidnapped.

Jay, 19, has been missing in Tenerife since last Monday (June 17). Jay, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, last spoke to his pal Lucy Mae Law at around 8am on Monday morning (June 17) after he had been to stay in a rental Airbnb with two people he had met on the island the night before.

He has not been seen since.
