Amateur sleuths who have taken over the search for Jay Slater claim they have discovered a new clue which could help explain what happened to him.
POLICE STOPPED SEARCHING
Spanish police announced Sunday that they were ending their search for the missing apprentice bricklayer, 19, from Lancashire, but the case would remain open.
His ‘disappointed’ family have slammed authorities for ending the search after 14 days and have turned to the help of TikTok sleuths who continue to scour the mountainous region of north-west Tenerife.
NEW EVIDENCE FOUND
TikTok climber Paul Arnott, 29, who has been assisting Jay’s family since the police wound down their investigation told MailOnline a pair of sunglasses similar to the ones Jay was last seen wearing had been found close to where his mobile phone last pinged.
The video, which has since been deleted, shows a pair of broken black sunglasses lying on the ground near to the Mirador viewing point, in the area where his phone was last tracked in the Rural de Teno Park near the village of Masca.
Family members have been handed the sunglasses, which were found by an army expat named only as Chris, who lives on the Spanish holiday island.

Paul told the outlet: ‘There have been some new developments and these sunglasses could be key.
‘They were found by an army guy called Chris who lives here. I don’t want to go into too much detail yet but the family have them and are looking at them.
‘They could be Jay’s they are very similar to ones he has and we are waiting to see. It could be very significant.’
The alleged discovery comes on day 14 of the search.
