The Most Confusing Missing Person in Recent Memory... Finally Found | Jay Slater

After a young man from the UK decided to go out to a music festival in Tenerife, he went missing after a very suspicious and strange string of events. While many started out sympathizing with the man, social media soon turned on him when his shady past came to light. What happened to Jay Slater?

the first mistake you made was saying jay and his mates "look like upstanding young men"
anyone in the UK could tell you they look like a pack of violent cokehead gangster wannabes

[antiquesrestoration]

A criminal street gang attempts to kill a random young man and is sentenced to community service after the judge "stares them down." Yeah...that'll certainly teach them.

[Unrivaled.Kitten]

Imagine trying to flex that you’re in a gang from Oswaldtwistle

[diretrip]

Guys... I think I pronounced Tenerife wrong

[joywagner]

If Jay accomplished nothing else of positive note in life, at least his disappearance helped the unreported lost Scottish hiker to be found.

[jessicabalancy]

The fact that Tom Hilton was still taking a respectful stance after they literally almost took his life with a machete - wow. He truly is the bigger man, I can’t say I would’ve been the same

[MaffBowers]

If your CCTV system is so cheap and low-quality that people on it can't be identified, what's the point in having CCTV at all?

[FrenkTheJoy]

"He went off-road. That's how I know he went off-road. When you go off-road, you know, stones." Wow case closed.

[DarkWestern]

You'd have to be on drugs to think a 14 hour walk was a better idea than waiting a couple hours for a bus or just calling a cab

[cattinkerbell]

"Rehabilitation" for attempted murder...that's how you produce future victims...

[FrancisKinsleyJr]

He should still be in prison for the machete thing.

[Jojo-sxec]

26:15 “….to get to it you’d need a machete..”
Such a shame Jay forgot to bring his along!

[Alex-gxmq]

If the judge had given him a proper sentence, he'd still be alive

[LEDNightLite]

And quote, “Got bit by a cactus.” 😂😂 what does that even mean.

[milksteak-]

i’m glad they found that random lost scottish guy instead of jay

[LSSJTHOR]

"People seem to thrive off other people's agony..." You mean like how Jay was cracking jokes when he and his gang jumped that innocent man?

[tagardina]

Hi! A Spaniard here who has been following the case. The area was not bold, It is full of dense forest which made the search really difficult. Moreover, the day Jay disappeared the weather conditions were terrible with low visibility. Nobody understand still why he decided to walk 10 hours instead of waiting in the bar and possibly he would have been able to charge his phone. It is a very sad case.

[popartpistol]

I feel like a lot of people who comment on this case have never done a lot of drugs. Going to the AirBNB that is 40 mins away with drug dealers when you're having a big night....I feel like the reason there is pretty obvious. Making a decision to walk off road in the wrong direction? Pretty classic high decision. Not staying hydrated, not having supplies, no phone battery. Again, he's not thinking logically.

[versebuchanan]

I know this isn't really the main issue here, but remember kids: if you're going to do party drugs at a festival in the sun, it's very very very important to hydrate. Water is your best friend.

From the beginning I thought he was still intoxicated, got disorientated and fell or passed out. It happens to people all the time. But in his case it happened when he was alone on a mountain with nobody around to see it and help him. All the other theories seemed far-fetched. RIP
