New details of the Jay Slater disappearance have come to light after the mystery key witness was revealed. The news was delivered by TV detective Mark Williams-Thomas, who flew to Tenerife to help find Jay.He claims further digging into the investigation has opened up an established criminal network with links to drugs, violent crime and theft.

Jay, an apprentice bricklayer from Lancashire, left a rave in Tenerife by car with two British men and stayed the night at an Airbnb in the middle of a rural village before vanishing.One of the men who owned the AirBnB previously spoke out and said there were no arguments and the 19-year-old was alive when he left, reports The Mirror.The teen was last heard from on June 17 as he tried to make his way back to the tourist town of Los Cristianos, where he had been staying with friends Lucy Law and Brad Hargreaves.

But despite a huge two-week-long search operation, Jay has not been seen since.Earlier this week, the case took a dark turn with the revelation that one of the last individuals to see Jay was found to be a convicted drug dealer.It has now been reported that Ayub Qassim, 31, who was imprisoned nine years ago for orchestrating a scheme to inundate Wales with Class A drugs, is the mystery Brit who drove the missing teen to the deserted holiday rental.Former Met Police officer Mr Williams-Thomas, shared an update on social media, revealing he had spoken with Qassim.

In a video shared on X, he said: “In the last 24 hours I have spoken in detail with Ayub Qassim, who is also known as Johnny Vegas."He said he was on the strip, Jay wanted to carry on partying and he said he had nowhere to stay, so he said he could come back to his.
