Helicopters, rescue dogs and drones have continued to scour the holiday island of Tenerife for a missing British teenager as concerned family and friends endure a “living nightmare”.<\/p>\n

The hunt for 19-year-old Jay Slater<\/a> <\/strong>from Oswaldtwistle, near Blackburn in Lancashire, is now in its fifth day.<\/p>\n

The apprentice bricklayer was holidaying with friends on Tenerife<\/a> <\/strong>before he disappeared on Monday.<\/p>\n

He was last heard from when he called a friend to say he was setting off on an 11-hour walk to get home, after he missed his bus.<\/p>\n

It came as new photographs showed the property where he was last seen<\/a><\/strong> in the northwestern mountain village of Masca after attending the NRG music festival.<\/p>\n

In a post on the Facebook page “Jay Slater Missing”, the administrator of the group Rachel Louise Harg said family and friends were “drained beyond words”.<\/p>\n

She said: “There isn’t an update for anyone unfortunately.<\/p>\n

“Struggling to find words at this time but all I can say is we are looking still and everyone is doing all they can.<\/p>\n

“We are drained beyond words – I just can’t say no more, I wish I could.<\/p>\n

“I wish this would end now, this living nightmare.<\/p>\n

“Searches are ongoing and we remain positive.<\/p>\n

“Thanks to you all supporting and helping we can’t thank you any more, much love.”<\/p>\n

On Friday, search and rescue personnel joined officers from the island’s Guardia Civil near Masca to comb an area of overgrown terrain.<\/p>\n

Teams also paid close attention to a river called Barranco Madre del Agua at the bottom of a ravine, where emergency workers carefully picked their way through fallen dead palm trees.<\/p>\n

Mr Slater’s friend Lucy Law, who attended the music festival with him, said he called her at about 8.30am on Monday and told her he was “lost in the mountains, he wasn’t aware of his surroundings, he desperately needed a drink and his phone was on 1%”.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, members of the local community rallied together at a church service <\/a><\/strong>in his home town to express their hope of his safe return.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesman said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has been reported missing in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
