A 10 hour walk (the Jay Slater thread)...

[labbby]

If a seasoned hiker got stuffed.. A 19 with no water, a pair of flip flops, and under the influence?.. No chance.

They'll either find a body or something dodgy has gone down

Don’t forget off his head on acid

 

[Minusorange]

Plot twist they weren't even on Tenerife but a different island

 

[jpaul]

At least something good has come out of this!

Officers added that he would not have managed to get out of the ravine "by his own means" due to the "difficulty and lack of communication" in the area where he was found.

what does the mobile coverage map look like - or he wasn't with the right service provider (do 999 transmit on arbitrary carrier?)

Maddie McCann investigator in Tenerife to 'get answers for Jay Slater family'

AN investigator who probed Madeleine McCann’s disappearance has been spotted outside the Airbnb where missing Jay Slater last stayed. Former detective Mark Williams-Thomas has joined the hunt…

Columbo back on the case. He did such a good job finding Maddie, he'll easily get Jay Slater found. Might take 20 years, but he'll do it.

Maddie would be around 19 or 20 years old now, Jay is reported to be 19 years old… have they ever been in the same room? As I have a theory… lol

 

[Bubo]

It's a shame there isn't a river involved, otherwise the Nicola Bulley diving dingy sonar man could also chip in as well. No point asking for Derek Acorah though as he is dead apparently.

Slater's mum criticises speculation as being harmful to the investigation, while saying "there's something untoward" about his disappearance. Wonder if she thinks it's the drug gangs or the shark?

Much as though speculation is ridiculous, I don't quite see why it would harm anything. I mean, hopefully the police don't believe it.

"OMG, guys, stop the search! He's been spotted in Blackpool riding a flamingo."

But seriously, the media are being a pain. Why they ask the view of the parents and friends.. it's just ridiculous. Friends have no idea how to find him so it's just uninformed guesswork on their part. The dogs need a scent, lol. I don't think they understand what the dogs are.

 

[Hades]

Yes at this point the dogs are very likely cadaver dogs.

 

[Richie]

Edit: Also did he actually machete someone himself or was he just part of the group that included the person who did it ?

Yes, "Joint Enterprise" the big pitfall of being a gang member who goes along with the others just to be popular. (Not suggesting he didn't actually do it though.)

IMHO, he lost the ability to say he didnt actually swing the machete when he chased after the victim to inflict harm... "Accidentally" being in a group and one of them lashes out is different from physically hunting down the victim.

maybe a bit too late for Jay but it may save others.

 

[shifty_uk]

It's distressing for them more than harmless to the investigation, especially if he's not been kidnapped by a shark.

I read somewhere that the friend was getting threats and abuse which is not helpful for anyone, regardless of their backgrounds.

Either way, I'm very surprised this is still ongoing and a body hasn't been found. The rescuers have their work cut out for them.

 

[m@rty]

Or a shark gang.

He's been spotted watching the Euros, apparently.

That's a lot of word combinations to learn if you don't have a smart phone with you

Not sure how you quoted me in your post up there, that was someone else who was querying if he macheted anyone.
