Police say there is no talk yet of halting the search despite growing concerns they will find a body
The hunt for Jay Slater , the 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle who went missing in Tenerife, has hit a grim note with authorities saying it's 'very unlikely' he'll be found alive if he's lost in the treacherous mountain terrain.
A spokesman said: "The Civil Guard is continuing to search for the young British man who disappeared, carrying out inspections of all the paths, trails and ravines belonging to the village of Masca within the municipality of Buenavista del Norte." Jay's mum Debbie Duncan revealed yesterday some of the money donated via an online fundraiser would be used to support mountain rescue search efforts. The 'Get Jay Slater Home' GoFundMe appeal has now surpassed its original target of £30,000 by more than £9,000.
Police have described the area they are scouring north of the Masca Gorge which was the focus of their search in the initial days after Jay vanished as 'immense"." He was seen walking out of the village northwards on a winding mountain road by a local woman he had previously stopped in the village to ask about bus timetables so he could get back to his hotel in the south of the island.
