A “massive search” for British teenager Jay Slater will get under way in Tenerife today, almost two weeks after the apprentice bricklayer went missing.<\/p>\n

The Civil Guard said they would step up their search for the 19-year-old after appealing for volunteer associations, such as firefighters, and individual volunteers with experience in navigating difficult terrain to help them.<\/p>\n

Police and volunteers will begin their search at 9am in the village of Masca, near to Mr Slater<\/strong><\/a>‘s last-known location, and attempt to retrace his last-known steps.<\/p>\n

Appeal for volunteers in Jay Slater search<\/span>

In a statement, police said: “The massive search will be carried out on Saturday, 29 June from 9am.<\/p>\n

“Bearing in mind that this is an abrupt, rocky area, full of unevenness and with a multitude of ravines, paths and roads, the collaboration of all those associations of volunteers who can help in this raid that is intended to be carried out in a directed and coordinated manner is requested.”<\/p>\n

Sky’s North of England correspondent Shingi Mararike in Tenerife<\/strong><\/a> said the search “is perhaps a final push from the Civil Guard to make some kind of headway”.<\/p>\n

Mr Slater, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, disappeared after trying to walk back to his accommodation after missing a bus on Monday last week.<\/p>\n

He was last pictured at Papayago, the nightclub hosting the end of the New Rave Generation festival, late on 16 June.<\/p>\n

Slater seen by cafe owner<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the event ended, he got in a car with two men, travelling to a small Airbnb in Masca, where a local cafe owner told Sky News he tried to catch a bus<\/strong><\/a> back to Los Cristianos, where he was staying.<\/p>\n

Ofelia Medina Hernandez said she saw him at 8am on 17 June, and added: “He asked twice what time the bus came.<\/p>\n

“He came back and he asked me again, and I told him again, at 10 o’clock. Later I got in my car, and I saw him, he was walking quickly, but I didn’t see him again after that.”<\/p>\n

She said he was walking in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n

Last phone call<\/strong><\/p>\n

It comes after one of Mr Slater’s friends told ITV’s This Morning about his last video call with the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n

Brad Hargreaves said he saw the missing teenager’s feet slide on rocks<\/strong><\/a> during a call at around 8.30am, saying that is how he knew Mr Slater was not on a road.<\/p>\n

He then said Mr Slater went down a “little drop” in one of his last video calls, and added: “He said, ‘look where I am’.<\/p>\n

“He didn’t seem concerned on the phone until we knew how far away he was. I said, ‘put your location on’. He said: ’15-minute drive, 14-hour walk’.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if it’s accurate or not so I said to him: ‘It’s only a 15-minute drive, get a taxi’.”<\/p>\n

Search teams coordinated by the Civil Guard have since mounted a huge manhunt using helicopters, drones and search dogs to scour mountainous areas of the island, but are yet to find the teenager.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
