TV detective Mark Williams-Thomas offers his team’s expertise in the search for Jay. He writes on X: “If [Jay’s family] give me total access and with feet on the ground
I will very quickly be able to say if his disappearance is him alone or if it has third party involvement.” The Tenerife Civil Guard announce they are ending the search for Jay after 13 days,
but the investigation remains open and they will follow up any new leads. Jay’s family vow to continue the search themselves.
Police announce that human remains of a ‘young man’ have been found. Formal identification has not yet taken place.
