A chilling new Jay Slater theory has been revealed – speculating that the teenager could be alive and have secretly boarded a yacht that went missing.
The mystery of the teenagers’ disappearance deepened after Jay’s last known location, on June 17, was found to be marked by a signal from his mobile phone in Tenerife.

After a night of partying on the island, the apprentice bricklayer stayed with two Brits he met at the festival before attempting the 11-hour walk back to his holiday apartment.
The phone rang in a remote area in the north of the island, not far from the Airbnb, in a dry and treacherous landscape.
But a new theory claims 19-year-old Jay threw his phone into the bushes to avoid detection.
He could then have descended the nearby cliffs of Los Gigantes via a safe route to a nearby pier.
There, Jay may have boarded a waiting boat and fled the island – meaning the teenager could be alive and well elsewhere.
Mysteriously, a 14ft yacht called Maruba was also reportedly recorded sailing off Masca beach at the time of Slater’s disappearance.
The perilous cliffs of Los Gigantes would be dangerous for the dehydrated teenager with a 2,000-foot drop to the ocean.
But a local guide said there is a well-trodden path to the beach through the Masca ravine, the Daily Mail reported.
There are then a series of coves and beaches where the yacht could have arrived to pick up Jay.
The theory is supported by online detectives who claim Jay was fleeing the island following the theft of a £12,000 Rolex.
The Rolex went missing when a fight broke out at the club where Jay was partying with investigators questioning taxi drivers and bar staff present on the tarmac.
The cell phone’s last known location was critical to search efforts to find Jay.
Rescue teams focused their search efforts on the 2,000-foot-high Masca ravine in the north of the island.
Police searched for days using drones, sniffer dogs and mountain rescue experts in the hills of northern Tenerife, close to where the phone rang.

Jay used the phone to make a desperate call to his friend Lucy Law, saying he was lost, thirsty, that his phone was about to die and that he had been cut by a cactus.
She claims he sounded panicked on the 8:50 a.m. call.
The teenager returned to an Airbnb with convicted drug dealer Ayub Qassim instead of returning to his apartment in Los Cristianos.
Jay reportedly decided to try and make the 11-hour trek back to Los Cristianos on foot after apparently being unable to catch a bus.
During his difficult walk, Jay called Brad before calling his friend Lucy.
Brad told ITV’s This Morning that he didn’t think anything was wrong during the conversation.
But he said he heard Jay’s feet sliding on the rocks during their conversation.
Brad said, “That’s how I knew he went off the road because, you know, when you walk on gravel, or whatever it is, you can… you know what I mean, rocks.
“We were both laughing about it. He said, ‘look where I am’.”
It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday that Jay was ill while partying hours before he disappeared, a waiter gave him water.
Jay was seen in the video appearing to stagger after falling at Papagayo nightclub in Playa de las Americas, Tenerife.
A hostess at the notorious party venue told how she saw the apprentice bricklayer on unsteady feet in the early hours of June 17.
She told The Sun: “I remembered Jay because he was unstable.
“I gave him some free water because he didn’t look well.”
Ravers usually pay three euros for water at the club, which is in Tenerife’s infamous party area, packed with tourists.
The search was called off by police on June 30, after two weeks of hunting for the teenager on the island.
Police in Tenerife said officers would continue to investigate the case if any reports or important information emerged.
But his family continued the search
The mysterious case of Jay Slater, four weeks later
By Ellie Doughty, Foreign News Reporter
Monday 15th July marks four weeks since Jay Slater, a 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, went missing in Tenerife.
The apprentice bricklayer, who flew to the popular holiday island for a rave festival with friends Lucy Law and Brad Page, made headlines across the country.
On Sunday, June 16, the three left for one of the events at the Papagayo nightclub.
In the early hours of Monday the 17th – Lucy and Brad were ready to go back to the hotel, but Jay wanted to continue the party.
It was then that he left the south of the island and headed to an Airbnb in the northwest with two Brits.
The Sun revealed the identity of one of them – convicted drug dealer Ayub Qassim, who spent nine years behind bars in the UK.
For days, it was thought that the second mystery man was called ‘Johnny Vegas’.
On Sunday, former detective Mark Williams-Thomas, who is investigating in Tenerife, said Qassim told him he is in fact the man behind the nickname ‘Johnny Vegas’.
We still don’t know the identity of the second man – who remains a key part of the puzzle of Jay’s mysterious disappearance.
Qassim claims he took Jay and his friend back to the dorm and said everyone went to sleep.
In the morning, he offered to take the teenager back to the Los Cristianos resort after a nap, but Jay, hungry and tired, said he wanted to leave immediately.
Lucy, the last person to speak to Jay, claims that she received a panicked call from him shortly after he left the holiday, saying that he was lost and thirsty, that his phone was about to die, and that he had been cut off by a cactus. .
Jay had been seen by the Airbnb owner that morning wandering near the Teno Rural park – a nearby mountainous region.
He is believed to have attempted the 11-hour walk back to his hotel, despite the supposed offer of a lift and more buses scheduled for the day.
It was there that his phone last rang – and he hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
Mark Williams-Thomas said he left Airbnb quickly and was “scared.”
Strangely, Qassim says he was woken up that morning by a phone call from Jay’s unidentified friend, saying he was “in a ditch” somewhere and had been “cut by a cactus.”
Jay’s friend Lucy claimed to have “located” the two men at the Airbnb after he disappeared – interrogating them on the morning of Jay’s disappearance.
Some reports suggest that Lucy knew both men, although it is unclear how.
She dubbed his disappearance “strange and suspicious.”
The two men were questioned by Spanish police officers on June 17, but were quickly deemed “irrelevant” to the investigation and allowed to fly back to the UK.
Police spent nearly two weeks searching for Jay in the mountains of Tenerife, searching a 2,000-foot ravine, before calling it off on Sunday, June 30.
Jay’s family has repeatedly criticized the Spanish investigation into his bizarre disappearance.
His uncle, Glen Duncan, is convinced of “third party involvement”.
And the teenager’s devastated father Warren Slater says ‘everything stinks’
He told The Sun: “My starting position, I said this from day one, ask the two men who took him – and then go from there.”
A number of unanswered questions remain, about why Jay would have traveled so far with two older men he did not know, why these men would have taken him in, and why he braved the mountains of Tenerife without a phone battery, water or protection. thermal. for a full day hike.
