Jay Slater's friend has slammed Tenerife police as she revealed they said four troubling words. The last person to speak to Jay, his friend Lucy Mae, claims he has been kidnapped and slams Spanish police for not taking hunt seriously as the search for rhe missing Lancashire teenager enters its fourth day.
Lucy has now claimed officers didn't even know who the 19-year-old Brit was when she approached the Civil Guard with information about her friend well into the search. She said they asked her "Who is Jay Slater?" in a response that left her concerned for him.
She told the Mail Online : "I know they have had a helicopter and drones up but to be honest I think they could be doing more. The other day I was on Veronica's Strip in Los Cristianos and I picked up some information and I went to the Guardia Civilia and they said 'Who is Jay Slater?'

"Can you believe that? It doesn't really give you much confidence does it. I've been out looking and so have his friends and family. We are just all so desperate for some news, we need people to keep looking we need Jay back."
Lucy said: " I just think the fact that no one has seen him makes it all the more sinister." Jay, 19, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, was last heard from on Monday morning as he tried to walk home along a mountainous path in north-west Tenerife. He rang his friend Lucy to say he was lost, dehydrated and only had one per cent battery on his phone.
But the call cut out suddenly and he has not been seen or heard from since. The search for Jay has entered its fourth day today in Tenerife with volunteer firemen searching for missing Jay in Tenerife today. Lucy believes he has been kidnapped and missing Jay's mum Debbie is now also working off this assumption.
