The Instagram account of Jay Slater has been ‘hacked’ by a mystery person while the search for him is ongoing.
The 19-year-old, who is the subject of a search and rescue operation on the Spanish island after going missing last weekend, had his account ‘accessed’ by someone who isn’t him, his loved ones have claimed.
FAMILY AND FRIENDS REACT
Friends of Jay’s family have furiously hit out at the currently unknown person, branding them ‘sick in the head’ and accused people of making up ‘pure lies’ about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
Rachel Louise Harg, who runs the Jay Slater Missing page on Facebook and is close to his family, said his social media had been hacked and it wasn’t Jay logging in.
She wrote: ‘Jays mum’s asked I post this. For everyone asking who has logged into his Instagram account, it’s not him [Jay] or her [his mother], somebody else has logged into it.’
She added: ‘Some people are actually this sick in the head, there are people hacking my accounts and Jay’s family’s, making it pure lies and pretending we are all in it.’
Ms Harg said Debbie is ‘broken’ and slammed the mystery person using the account as ‘cruel’.
LAST TIME HE POSTED
The apprentice bricklayer from Oswaldtwistle, in Lancashire, last posted on his Instagram account three years ago in July 2021, but there is a feature which allows close friends to see when he was last logged on.
Jay vanished last Monday after attending a three-day high energy music festival, with the teenager later being seen walking away from Playa de las Americas.
