Two plain-clothed officers have been spotted inside the holiday rental where missing Jay Slater spent his last known evening.
As he prepared to drive away in an orange Kia Sportage SUV, one of the officers told reporters: "I'm not authorised to talk to you. I've been inside. If you want any information speak to the press office in Santa Cruz."Jay, an Oswaldtwistle resident, was last seen leaving the house, named Casa Abuela Tina, around 8am on June 17. Before this, he had been to Papagayo nightclub in Playa de las Americas, before accompanying two British men back to the Airbnb.
Early on Monday morning, Jay shared a photograph of himself holding a cigarette outside the entranceway to the vacation rental. Subsequently, at approximately 8.30am, he phoned Lucy informing her that he was stranded, attempting to return home without any drinking water and only 1 per cent battery remaining on his phone.
On Monday, detectives informed a judge that no criminal evidence was uncovered in connection with Jay's disappearance and the matter is being handled as a missing persons case.
