An investigator who helped in the search for Jay Slater has posted a cryptic update on his social media, as he promised he has information which “gives clarity” to the case. Apprentice bricklayer Jay was on holiday for a music festival in Tenerife when he vanished on June 17. The remains of the 19-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire , were finally discovered almost a month later on July 15 near the village of Masca, a few metres from his last known location.
Investigator Mark Williams-Thomas had vowed to get the family answers at the time of his disappearance, and has again spoken out about the case – whilst also seeming to suggest a documentary about the disappearance is in the works.. He wrote on X: “When I covered the Jay Slater case I did film lots of material to show how the investigation was unfolding. “I also have recordings with witnesses that provide context and information which gives clarity and a clear narrative to the very sad situation and the events as they unfolded that night and morning . The case still attracts a lot of attention and no doubt will attract a lot more when a programme (which I have nothing to do with ) is released.”.
One person replied to the cryptic post: “Stop speaking in riddles and give the public the info you are apparently holding back.”. Earlier this month it was reported Jay Slater’s heartbroken mum has had his favourite clothes made into cushions following his death in Tenerife. A Facebook post from ‘Homemade With Love Oswaldtwistle’ stated: “Forever 19. All of my work touches my heart, but I must admit this one really touched me.
“I was honoured to be asked by Jay's Mum to make these cushions, using his favourite clothes. I hope they bring comfort to each person receiving them. Each one had a personalised memory patch added. Thank you so much Debbie for entrusting me to make these for you. Sending so much love.”. A GoFundMe page received £72,821 before it was closed on November 21 last year. The final message posted on the page explained how the donations were spent. They included a search team from the Dutch non-profit organisation Signi Zoekhonden and his family’s stay in Tenerife while efforts to locate Jay continued.
