I had done this "walk" through Google Streetview, but it's definitely not the same at all. It doesn't give you a proper idea, and it misses the part when Jay walked off the road. Paul is doing a great job
Paul, you are keeping this case alive sir… excellent work, ignore the armchair haters, you are there being part of the solution. It’s guys like you that make the difference. Keep them coming Amigo, glued to your daily vlogs now. Top work…👍👍👍
@@karenbrooks8862 Kaz , l come from a family of wetters. Great gramps was a wetter, gramps was a wetter and my dad also wet the bed. I take after my mum's side of the family . I never was a wetter 😊
We never doubted you! Ignore the hate on tiktok, the app is toxic and people are awful! You're a good person with a good heart and the rest of us are behind you 😊!
Thanks for sharing this video, which shows us just how inhospitable and vast the terrain is. You've been putting so much energy and effort into this. Thank you.
Thank you for everything your doing to find jay and for keeping him out there i appreciate all your efforts and i hope your looking after yourself too and eating a more balanced diet than you were when you first went out there and please stay hydrated and stay safe big love and respect to you ❤❤
Literally a minute into this and already have questions 😢. The road work peeked my interest and what a walk this looks like an impossible search and rescue / recovery. Prayers for Jay and his family❤
Paul wish people was more like you All them haters on TikTok is unbelievable, especially Hayley Keep your good work up. We are all behind you Love and respect x
Paul this is a brilliant video , so detailed! I think this has just given everybody an understanding of the task...dear God! It's a good job you are fit, you'd have to be for this!! Sorry to hear about Pedro, can't believe it! You need to be in Masca, you can do all this if you are not. Keep safe
Paul thankyou for the insight of the terrain you have been covering. You have been amazing and relentless, so much respect to you. It must have been so hard for you to tackle this each day relentlessly. Thankyou for your staying power, you are one great guy. Much love and positive vibes sent your way, take care of you🧡✌️
I'm 17 minutes into ur video Paul & I dont think there is any way he would have tried to go too far off road. That terrain is way too treacherous like you've said in all your videos.. Thanks for doing a video from the air b&b up that road. It gives a better insight into things from Jay's perspective. I'm even more convinced of foul play at this point unfortunately. Stay safe Paul
Hes a young lad he would of had no idea how difficult this would be to walk, don't forget drugs and alcohol most likely play a part here. Thank god Paul's carrying on looking because he's out there somewhere
In my opinion a 19 year old hungover with shorts on would not willingly go into undergrowth unless he slipped and fell in and at that point would be easily found surely .. he would use technology to find a route and Apple Maps does take you off road I checked myself .. I don’t think he went mountain climbing with trainers and shorts on he was looking for food water and his hotel
There was no reason for him too walk down there none whatsoever, the phone pinged is wrong it's out he never left the road, if anything he realised he was going in the wrong direction and walked back the way, on road something has happened while walking on the road, but definitely he's not in there not a hope
Thank you for the update and showing the route Jay took , still seems bizarre why he would go off road to walk into that where looking at it you would potentially know you would be more in a situation to get lost or get hurt , surely he would of seen that and walked back up to the main road he would of had more chance of flagging a car or someone for help . It’s so sad 😢bless him I do hope he is found 🙏💙 take care Paul so much respect for what your doing xx
Writing this the day after the body was found thank you for uploading this video. Just a couple of minutes into the video you can see obviously nobody in their right mind would be going off-road without a very good reason.
What's weird to me is if I'm Brad and that's my mate I'm up there with the search team trying to pin point and show what I could see on that final call
Well done paul doin this walk . That looks one scary walk even in daylight. But as a mother I would of did this walk with u if many my sons were missing out there .
What really comes across is how the perspective of distance across valleys and true height of the cacti and aloe vera is difficult to gauge. Everything looks on a much smaller scale until you get up close up to it. Well done Paul, this video is excellent.
If he wanted to help he would but he’s creating content out of it so ultimately he’s making money someone said he made 5k off 1 TikTok live😂 just another note not 1 of his recent tik toks is under a minute just saying
I've been following in owe.... but hearing you won't hand over where searched or grids.... not sure how it work but this work is being done in the best interests of Jay
I am from Masca. I would like to thank for this video, showing Jay's last steps. It is tragic, it should never have happened. I know well the territory, I am a hiker, the boy was completely disorientated, I am still regretting his destiny. Masca Valley ends at the point view with the coffee shop. You have entered, following Jay, the next ravine, el barranco de Juan López, abandoned many years ago. I will never forget him. Thank you for your walk.
You do realise his supposed body was found 2.5 hours down the barranco? Yeah right, off his head, no water, wearing flimsy footwear and shorts and he gets that far!!
Many thanks for this video it really shows how difficult it is to search there. I visited Masca for the first time almost 40 years ago. Then just like now, I don't understand how people can choose to settle there. How did they support themselves and what did they live on, one might askThe village is more than 1000 years old and was founded by the indigenous guanche population. The tour guide described it as the forgotten village which makes sense. it was very difficult to get to and from there and many people living even close by did not know the village. Tourism and better roads changed that. Masca looks very much like the valleys do on the neighboring island of La Gomera. In La Gomera there are no roads along the coast. Instead, you have to go up a bit and then go down into the various valleys. They use terraces to be able to grow, just like they seem to do in some places in Masca. I'm afraid we never may find Jay considering even dogs find it hard to move around in this terrain. Goats seem to manage better. I pray for Jay and his family.
if i was pissed up, didnt know where i was .. even after a drink, i would stick to a main road, and hope it led somewhere .. if jay had walked to the end of the path, reached a dead end,as you did, you would assume he would walk back .. if he walked for 30 mins, and thats where the last mobile ping was, that gives you a rough idea / radius of the last phone ping, but possibly not where jay was or is .. he could have walked, battery died, but then walked for another 2 hours after .. if that occured, he literally could be anywhere, in any direction .. some are saying he had a full battery, before he set out 30 mins prior?? what if his phone was disposed of, but jay was never there? .. it would be impossible to cover that area with a metal detector .. i find it hard to believe that anyone drunk, dressed in flimsy shorts and t shirt, would attempt to navigate through that landscape .. the only time i could imagine a person going off-road,in that enviroment, is if they needed a piss, in which case they would get back on the main road,or if they were being chased, or trying to get away or avoid someone .. those cactus's / plants i imagine would tear your legs apart .. jay apparently said he cut his leg on a cactus, hard to know how true this is, or whether it is to deflect people away from what actually happened? i still think something happened at the airbnb, and find it hard to believe the statements so far .. either they all lying, and not telling us the full truth, or the public are not being told the full truth as not to jeopordize the case .. or maybe a bit of both .. at present, there are too many inconsistencies,if they were all telling the truth, there would only be one version of events .. not 3 ..
@@georgezee5173I think you’re right he would have Apple Maps a direction and when his battery died tried to continue on up that’s if there’s no foul play .. even thirsty people can keep going
If I was drunk n hungover I'd be more daring n attempt walking through the terrain thinking it's a short cut down to the beach where there's fresh water, people n a beach. Maybe he got to the end of the path n thought he'd turn back but he was to tired to go back up the path so cut across the bushes not realising how bushy it was. I reckon he's on the terrain or fallen in the sea
Given the location of that last ping, I’ve given some credibility to the possibility that Jays phone and himself is likely have parted ways. If this theory is correct then it is entirely possible that Jays phone is still on the ground somewhere in the brush there. It is worth considering to find a safe way to make a more thorough search for his phone. I want to illiterate here I’m not trying to peddle any theory of a kidnapping or speculating the phone was thrown, there is still a possibility the phone was dropped. Either way the potential of the phone lying on the ground somewhere around there, is worth looking into. ❤
It looks like a very vast area. If Jay was walking that route there seems to be plenty of sections at the side of the road where he could rest and flag down a car for help. If he was thirsty and hungry he would have waited at the cafe, if he was ever really on that road. Also, why are you on your own surely some of his friends or family that asked you to go out there would do these walks with you. Be careful Paul, something doesn't feel right about this.
@@mmull6620 No they stopped in Santiago del Teide in the car on the way to the Airbnb, there is a cafe and a petrol station there with a small shop that both open around 5:30am according to Google maps. Don't know why a cafe in a tiny town in Tenerife opens so ridiculously early, but apparently it does.
So what stoney area he sliding down with the white road stones visable in the background then if what he friend suggests he must of been sliding down off near the road before this track ????
This video is ( in the sad circumstances) terrific . Everyone’s showing maps and areas without the route , so unless you can read maps or been physically it was hard to understand where he went etc . I’ve always stuck up for yourself and others and will forever do so . I can understand why he would cut down to the dirt track and get lost as it’s a dead end so he definitely gone via bush . The phone ping has to be out by a few feet .. Noway he went into that bush unless as Chris said it’s been tossed . Keep up good work Paul 😊
What a vast area and the conditions... PLEASE STAY SAFE PAUL ... YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB ... Please keep yourself self aswell it looks very difficult terrain 🙏🙏🙏
I find it hard to believe that he would go off the road, in my mind I would have stayed on the road but then if he had surely someone would have found him near to the road but no one has. This video is really interesting but gives loads more questions about this situation. It also shows the vast area you are having to cover daily. Keep up the great work Paul and stay safe. ⛰️ ☀️
@@em6577that’s correct, it seems he did not want to go back to Los christianos the normal way, Ophelia directed him to the bust stop, and he goes the opposite way, which is what Paul’s route is showing.
No way was seriously attempting that walk on a come down or nights drinking or both... Even if he was still buzzing from gear you would still know that walk is ridiculous , people are talking like he was actually attempting to walk back but it's more likely trying to cut across to find a main Rd to flag a taxi without being seen by whoever he was avoiding
Was there a sign for opening hours on the cafe door? I’m not convinced he kept going. I reckon he went back and foul play occurred on return somewhere along the road. Were the men with car darting down to ditch at around the same time Jay went missing? Do you not feel creeped out by staying in that Airbnb?
IF, IF jay was there, I can see how he would have said to Lucy he is lost, it makes sense now seeing it visually, he wouldn't have been able to find his way back from there, from where Paul said he had been walking 37minutes, although it's one path but when it all looks the same and panic sets in plus the state he was in, the search guys could walk past him in a ditch and you would never see him, really 😔
Been told he can stay where Jay stayed😱🤔🫣there's no way that lad went on that route after supposedly being woken from sleep ,,,,💊 and alcohol consumed other several days , as anyone that has woken from such would no* not in a million years, after seeing your video im going back to the theory that he attempted it went back up to the road and that woman Ofelia ran him over she was the last person to see him alive ,,, maybe the cameras need to time her journey and figure out if she stopped and what other cars left/came into masca ,, maybe the guys in the lay by went to check as shed said shed hit someone (they haven't identified themselves or came forward🤔he was then moved it's only logical thing as if he was in mountains there would be signs from the birds with him decomposing in heat ,they say that woman pedro ECT are well connected ... maybe they took him back to bnb after being hit hence the painting cleaning n blood traces found ,maybe he passed from injury's there and their all part of the cover up ...hence all the story's being here, there and every where ... ... IF HE EVER LEFT THE BNB IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT IS without delving into the dark theories flying about . One thing is for sure that boy never left masca on foot definatliy not after seeing this video ,hopefully now UK and interpol will look into it after seeing this what with the family saying they need their help to ,,a very informative video thank you for keeping him in the limelight and raising awareness of the dangers abroad not just with predators but the difference in legal systems /authorities handling of such may justice be found for him and all others missing 🪬🧿
Have you thought about getting to the point of the phone ping, then trying to work your way back to the main road, as this is what Lucy told him to do, looking for any possible shortcuts back to the main road, having walked that far, a shortcut back to the road sounds like a plausible option.
You are having a hard time breathing because of the Saharan dust. Calima is a term used in the Canary Islands for a weather phenomenon involving dusty, warm winds from the Sahara Desert. It creates a hot, dry fog that can cause irritation to the airways, reduce visibility, headaches, nausea and cover surfaces with fine dust.
Looking at how vast that area is I cannot believe anyone would think to go walking in that, surely you would stick to the road, I just really can't see it myself, but who knows eh😢
I think he was sliding down making his way down to the sea hoping there was a beach n the road back to where he was staying. I think he's made it to the bottom and maybe fallen in the sea n that's why they can't find him.
Great video Paul!👏🏼 It really puts into perspective fully what the environment out there & even someone fit like you(with mountain climbing experience)feel how difficult it is, so Jay the morning after a rave, and just wearing shorts & t shirts, would of found it extremely hard. Sorry Pedro can’t let you stay on, as that had been at least one weight off your mind, but hope you manage to secure somewhere such as the B & B. You have really been a real trooper out there Paul💪🏼, so please don’t think we all don’t see the hard work you are putting in, its just the trolls with nothing better to do than criticise, when they likely have done absolutely nothing to help. They are actually detrimental , as it helps to have people boosting your moral, and thanking you, as you have spent weeks on this, purely to help a fellow Brit be found. One thing I wanted to say though is please keep your wits about you, more so now, as if this was something nefarious & you one of the only few still searching it could be that you are a target, because if he has been taken, they won’t want him found. Considering the police crew left you on your own that day too, I would make sure you are wary of even the nicest ‘seeming’ people as they could be either media or people with intent on stopping you. Said a prayer for you for safety🙏🏼 Keep up the great work but please take rest too💙👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
i dont know if you understand but the longer version video like this is incredibly helpful to try and piece together the last footsteps and trail he would have taken, i wish i could afford a trip over there and be able to bring my drones.. there is so much area to cover and all the help the family could get im sure is very much appreciated, and you know jay would appreciate it. keep up gods work sir!
I’d stay there! Then Debbie can pay for forensics to comb that place and find out if Jay really was in there,if he was I’m sure there would still be fingerprints or something.
@@puppymia1 Because it’s the only place available to stay that’s near to the search area.. otherwise it will involve lots of travelling /buses and that’s before even searching. However I would not stay there either!
He would of took a shortcut to that path after coming off the phone to Brad. After the lady drove past him.. He walked to the end of the path then towards coast, then went north, in the direction he thought los cristianos was. Had he of went south he would of seen civilisation. Look at sheds and caves. Most likely would of survived until the first night were he would die of hypothermia or organ failure. Probably close to the coast, all he trying to do is get off the mountains he has no idea of the scale… 50% chance foul play because people are lieing and giving false accounts instead of being transparent and helping the investigation which indicates foul play. Hopefully your not wasting your time out there.
I agree with this analysis. He's heading for the coast and doing his best to get 'off the hill'. Temp that day were low 20's - he's pushed on past the end of the path and heading for the coast. If possible start at the coast and work back inland. Good work Paul. Stay safe.
There's no way I'd continue walking up this hill after seeing nothing but mountains especially feeling tired and exhausted when the bus is 10min away.. jake or anyone would've said, "Fuck this and walked back but noone probably saw him since it was very early and if I was thirsty I'd probably go left where all those buildings were to look for a shop or ask those residents for a cup of drink before making my way back up.
Great work Paul. If Jay took the route you walked he was heading to the coast for sure - just looking for a route 'off the hill'. From the end of that path to the coast is a couple of cliks - nasty terrain but temps in the low 20's that day so doable even with no fluids. If possible start at the coast and work back from there. Good luck and keep safe.
What an informative video. I can't understand why he said he was lost. If he turned back, he would have ended up on the road again. Dehydration and confusion, I guess, but It dont sit right. Thank you for doing this video.
Haven't seen this video before and even though it would appear that Jays body may have been found, I wanted to see the route he'd walked. Well done to you for spending so many hours, days searching thru' this terrain, what a nightmare of a place to have to work your way through. How this body has been found at all (even if it isn't his) is mind blowing given how all this area appears to be, it does appear to have been in an area that seems to be off one of those huge ridges. I hope to god this will be a warning to anyone, whatever age you are, to not venture anywhere alone when in a country you're not from - for a million reasons! Also, don't leave your accomodation before fully charging your phone!!! Well done Paul, I hope you go take some time to relax now, as do all the searchers.
What you said about the bus stop is exactly what I was thinking. He’s been out, no sleep so probably it fully tuned in. That bus stop would make you think the buses were heading in that direction
Add to that the fact that it's a narrow road that doesn't even have a dividing line to visualise two lanes, so that would confuse Jay even more, probably making him think it's a one-way road at the beginning of his walk if there was no traffic at that early time. I'm Spanish but I have been living in the UK for almost a decade. I swear, even I some times get confused when I'm visiting my family back in Spain (like my brain's been rewired).
I'm not convinced he was ever there, these "witnesses" Can be fabricated in these type of cases to push a narrative but if I was doing a runner from the Airbnb I would of just hid in the bushes for 2 hours till the bus came, if he was there and the witness said he was alone at the bus stop then clearly nobody was chasing him, why not just listen for the bus or hide in the bushes while keeping an eye on the bus , soon as it come sprint to it and back to las Americas in no time... I think the witness is fake,, paid money to lie or being the Airbnb owner is connected to Lucy and is lying about seeing Jay, but even if he was there and went walking and was scared of the lads, surely he could of found a road eventually and flagged a car down it's not Alaska
Amazing views . Great video. Really puts things into perspective and shows you just how difficult it would be to even attempt to walk that distance . If you went off road it would be so easy to get lost .
It makes so much sense that Jay was heading down towards the sea hoping for a beach or some cars, people, normality. He's left the road, started to do a short cut. Phone pinged, continued walking got to the end where this guy stopped recording, was to tired to walk back up so continued to cut across heading down towards the sea. I think he's in the terrain n they've not found him or fallen in the sea.
1:08 he could have gone down anywhere through the gaps of them stones especially rushing to get away from there, but I definitely think someone should check where them pictures was taken with the graffiti on.
There’s just something I seriously can’t let go of and it’s the footage of the video on the beach next to the club, upon watching it over and over there’s 3 people including the one who fell. It all seems to real for a troll to make up and then suddenly there’s a missing piece of footage. Really odd.
Seeing this area it's easy to see how Jay would think he could take a shortcut with hopes of cutting off hours of his journey. Equally easy to see how he could become disorientated and become lost. 😞
Having watched this video and thinking would he really go through all that bush heavily grown areas , he has been drinking all weekend he wouldn’t have had the energy for it , am starting to think foul play , something just don’t seem right ,
Thanks, Paul. this is a very good (edit: it's excellent) video - very informative. It's a trek and a half just on the road. Add no drink and thirst to that... I didn't know there was a cafe up at the viewing point, though. No one else had mentioned that viewing point cafe / shop before. What time does that cafe at the view point open for business? Surely he'd have got a drink / supplies from there. Plus, it would be a good rendezvous place to meet someone at, or to get a lift off someone from. Although, of course, his phone pings suggest he went on further from there. Where would he be aiming for / going to if he went that way from the viewing point?
@@shnicky4ever well, if it was him who walked to that View Point, then he'd likely have arrived there after 9 a.m. He'd have been thirsty, so surely he'd have then waited for that cafe / tourist shop to open to get himself a drink and to perhaps get supplies, too. First We're told he didn't wait for the bus which was less than a two hour wait. Now we are expected to believe that he wouldn't have waited less than an hour for that cafe / tourist shop to open... Is there a public toilet there - probably. He'd at least have been able to drink from the tap. He may have had or found an empty plastic container to top up and take away with him. "He wasn't (isn't) a stupid boy" after all. And no one did say that he was or is a stupid boy. It gets more and more ridiculous.
This is a great walk through thank-you. That looks like a mission though, alcohol dehydrates you then mix it with the heat ect. Do you not think it odd he apparently passes all those beauty spots and takes zero pics? How accurate is the GPS location has it been vetted by experts? What an odd path to take.
El problema que veo es que Jay pudo caminar bastante desde que se terminó la batería. Yo creo que está mucho más lejos ....una hora, dos y hasta 5 mas lejos ...PD no he visto a nadie en todo el video....ni buscando ni circulando....es muy solitario
I would not overlook storm drains a kid disappeared here a few years ago and he was found naked in a storm drain and the case remains unsolved. It’s a convenient place to hide a body, and a convenient place to hide.
Thank you for doing this video.. it’s very interesting and makes me understand better of how easy it was for the poor boy to get lost .. Keep up and good work and stay safe out there x
I'm a searcher, and with an area that big generally a high def drone is used and it records the entire location. The drone/camera has Long/Lat capabilities. The data is downloaded and teams sit and examine the footage via the computer. Programs are used with that data that can pick out a particular color and mark the frame/area/gps so teams can go to that exact area to check it out. It is commendable what you are doing, but viewing all this shaky camera footage isn't doing the missing person any favors, and it quite honestly sensless & maddening.
Well at least he is still out there searching, where is everyone else, plus the Police had drones out. Paul knows all kinds of terrains, he is a climber luckily. But just maybe, this video could give a different outlook or pointers, that can be given to the Police or his parents, that may potentially give some answers.
Police haven't actually disclosed where body was found, adding that dogs didnt previously pick up on scent for a body apparently in the wild for almost a month is suss..
Surely if he had walked to the end of that gravel path he wouldn’t have then thought he could get through all that bushy area?? I know he had had a good night the night before and wasn’t at his best but the lads common sense would have kicked in at some point surely? Paul you are simply an angel. I hope this video shuts a lot of the armchair detectives up now that they can see what you are up against. Why has pedro changed his mind about you staying at his though?
Why go all that way on the road then off onto a dirt track?! Surly he going back on himself then…? I can’t get my head round that, seeing it from this video… No. No way! Has Jay been there. It’s impossible.
Well done you. The only video showing Jays last steps. Thankyou for taking the time to do this. The road to nowhere. Very sad and very strange
I had done this "walk" through Google Streetview, but it's definitely not the same at all. It doesn't give you a proper idea, and it misses the part when Jay walked off the road. Paul is doing a great job

Exactly! The reason why is because he was never there. Their story does not make sense. No one would think it a good idea to come away from that road.
Writing this the day after the body was found thank you for uploading this video. Just a couple of minutes into the video you can see obviously nobody in their right mind would be going off-road without a very good reason.
Now this is a really good video, gives so much understanding of the environment! Thanks!
What's weird to me is if I'm Brad and that's my mate I'm up there with the search team trying to pin point and show what I could see on that final call
it all looks the same sherlock
Well done paul doin this walk . That looks one scary walk even in daylight. But as a mother I would of did this walk with u if many my sons were missing out there .
They didn't search because he was never there. Teenagers are lazy as hell, they don't "hike" it home 11 hours.
They're not like the older generation.
Absolutely i would be and all my family, doing as much as possible up there and anywhere down in the busy parts. Not out of sight of everyone.
Is they any validity to the lads phone call with him, do the police have a recording of it or are they just going off what he and Lucy said?
What really comes across is how the perspective of distance across valleys and true height of the cacti and aloe vera is difficult to gauge. Everything looks on a much smaller scale until you get up close up to it. Well done Paul, this video is excellent.
Who else is watching this looking around just wondering 💭

I've been following in owe.... but hearing you won't hand over where searched or grids.... not sure how it work but this work is being done in the best interests of Jay
I am from Masca. I would like to thank for this video, showing Jay's last steps. It is tragic, it should never have happened. I know well the territory, I am a hiker, the boy was completely disorientated, I am still regretting his destiny. Masca Valley ends at the point view with the coffee shop. You have entered, following Jay, the next ravine, el barranco de Juan López, abandoned many years ago. I will never forget him. Thank you for your walk.
You do realise his supposed body was found 2.5 hours down the barranco? Yeah right, off his head, no water, wearing flimsy footwear and shorts and he gets that far!!
Many thanks for this video it really shows how difficult it is to search there.
I visited Masca for the first time almost 40 years ago. Then just like now, I don't understand how people can choose to settle there. How did they support themselves and what did they live on, one might askThe village is more than 1000 years old and was founded by the indigenous guanche population. The tour guide described it as the forgotten village which makes sense. it was very difficult to get to and from there and many people living even close by did not know the village. Tourism and better roads changed that. Masca looks very much like the valleys do on the neighboring island of La Gomera.
In La Gomera there are no roads along the coast. Instead, you have to go up a bit and then go down into the various valleys. They use terraces to be able to grow, just like they seem to do in some places in Masca. I'm afraid we never may find Jay considering even dogs find it hard to move around in this terrain. Goats seem to manage better. I pray for Jay and his family.
if i was pissed up, didnt know where i was .. even after a drink, i would stick to a main road, and hope it led somewhere .. if jay had walked to the end of the path, reached a dead end,as you did, you would assume he would walk back ..
if he walked for 30 mins, and thats where the last mobile ping was, that gives you a rough idea / radius of the last phone ping, but possibly not where jay was or is ..
he could have walked, battery died, but then walked for another 2 hours after .. if that occured, he literally could be anywhere, in any direction .. some are saying he had a full battery, before he set out 30 mins prior??
what if his phone was disposed of, but jay was never there? .. it would be impossible to cover that area with a metal detector ..
i find it hard to believe that anyone drunk, dressed in flimsy shorts and t shirt, would attempt to navigate through that landscape ..
the only time i could imagine a person going off-road,in that enviroment, is if they needed a piss, in which case they would get back on the main road,or if they were being chased, or trying to get away or avoid someone .. those cactus's / plants i imagine would tear your legs apart .. jay apparently said he cut his leg on a cactus, hard to know how true this is, or whether it is to deflect people away from what actually happened?
i still think something happened at the airbnb, and find it hard to believe the statements so far .. either they all lying, and not telling us the full truth, or the public are not being told the full truth as not to jeopordize the case .. or maybe a bit of both ..
at present, there are too many inconsistencies,if they were all telling the truth, there would only be one version of events .. not 3 ..
He most likely kept walking. Probably for hours.
@@georgezee5173I think you’re right he would have Apple Maps a direction and when his battery died tried to continue on up that’s if there’s no foul play .. even thirsty people can keep going
If I was drunk n hungover I'd be more daring n attempt walking through the terrain thinking it's a short cut down to the beach where there's fresh water, people n a beach. Maybe he got to the end of the path n thought he'd turn back but he was to tired to go back up the path so cut across the bushes not realising how bushy it was. I reckon he's on the terrain or fallen in the sea
Given the location of that last ping, I’ve given some credibility to the possibility that Jays phone and himself is likely have parted ways. If this theory is correct then it is entirely possible that Jays phone is still on the ground somewhere in the brush there. It is worth considering to find a safe way to make a more thorough search for his phone. I want to illiterate here I’m not trying to peddle any theory of a kidnapping or speculating the phone was thrown, there is still a possibility the phone was dropped. Either way the potential of the phone lying on the ground somewhere around there, is worth looking into. ❤
@@rosiejones4974Fresh water on a beach! It's not Benidorm!
I definitely do not think you should stay at the air b&b, all sounds abit weird. I think he was running away from someone and they caught him!
It looks like a very vast area.
If Jay was walking that route there seems to be plenty of sections at the side of the road where he could rest and flag down a car for help.
If he was thirsty and hungry he would have waited at the cafe, if he was ever really on that road.
Also, why are you on your own surely some of his friends or family that asked you to go out there would do these walks with you.
Be careful Paul, something doesn't feel right about this.
Cafe doesn't open until 10am.
what don’t you get he never even made this walk. lucy came up with this story to get off track where he really went
@mellowmarkable I thought they supposedly stopped there for a fizzy drink on the way to the Airbnb or am I mistaken.
@@mmull6620 No they stopped in Santiago del Teide in the car on the way to the Airbnb, there is a cafe and a petrol station there with a small shop that both open around 5:30am according to Google maps. Don't know why a cafe in a tiny town in Tenerife opens so ridiculously early, but apparently it does.
@@mellowmarkable thank you for clarification on that.
So what stoney area he sliding down with the white road stones visable in the background then if what he friend suggests he must of been sliding down off near the road before this track ????
This video is ( in the sad circumstances) terrific . Everyone’s showing maps and areas without the route , so unless you can read maps or been physically it was hard to understand where he went etc . I’ve always stuck up for yourself and others and will forever do so .
I can understand why he would cut down to the dirt track and get lost as it’s a dead end so he definitely gone via bush . The phone ping has to be out by a few feet .. Noway he went into that bush unless as Chris said it’s been tossed . Keep up good work Paul 😊
What a vast area and the conditions... PLEASE STAY SAFE PAUL ... YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB ... Please keep yourself self aswell it looks very difficult terrain 🙏🙏🙏
Good on you for showing people x❤
I notice at least two drain covers have they been opened and checked
Interesting theory should be checked
I find it hard to believe that he would go off the road, in my mind I would have stayed on the road but then if he had surely someone would have found him near to the road but no one has. This video is really interesting but gives loads more questions about this situation. It also shows the vast area you are having to cover daily. Keep up the great work Paul and stay safe. ⛰️ ☀️
My main thought is'how many teenagers walk anywhere these days.99.9% would have waited for the bus or got a lift,not set off on a massive walk.
Bingo. They're not like older generations who used to hitchhike.
Unless he was trying to get away from someone or something
@@em6577that’s correct, it seems he did not want to go back to Los christianos the normal way, Ophelia directed him to the bust stop, and he goes the opposite way, which is what Paul’s route is showing.
No way was seriously attempting that walk on a come down or nights drinking or both... Even if he was still buzzing from gear you would still know that walk is ridiculous , people are talking like he was actually attempting to walk back but it's more likely trying to cut across to find a main Rd to flag a taxi without being seen by whoever he was avoiding
Thank you for all your hard work
Was there a sign for opening hours on the cafe door?
I’m not convinced he kept going. I reckon he went back and foul play occurred on return somewhere along the road. Were the men with car darting down to ditch at around the same time Jay went missing?
Do you not feel creeped out by staying in that Airbnb?
Noone has seen him walking back to the airbnb, have they?
IF, IF jay was there, I can see how he would have said to Lucy he is lost, it makes sense now seeing it visually, he wouldn't have been able to find his way back from there, from where Paul said he had been walking 37minutes, although it's one path but when it all looks the same and panic sets in plus the state he was in, the search guys could walk past him in a ditch and you would never see him, really 😔
Been told he can stay where Jay stayed😱🤔🫣there's no way that lad went on that route after supposedly being woken from sleep ,,,,💊 and alcohol consumed other several days , as anyone that has woken from such would no* not in a million years, after seeing your video im going back to the theory that he attempted it went back up to the road and that woman Ofelia ran him over she was the last person to see him alive ,,, maybe the cameras need to time her journey and figure out if she stopped and what other cars left/came into masca ,, maybe the guys in the lay by went to check as shed said shed hit someone (they haven't identified themselves or came forward🤔he was then moved it's only logical thing as if he was in mountains there would be signs from the birds with him decomposing in heat ,they say that woman pedro ECT are well connected ... maybe they took him back to bnb after being hit hence the painting cleaning n blood traces found ,maybe he passed from injury's there and their all part of the cover up ...hence all the story's being here, there and every where ... ... IF HE EVER LEFT THE BNB IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT IS without delving into the dark theories flying about .
One thing is for sure that boy never left masca on foot definatliy not after seeing this video ,hopefully now UK and interpol will look into it after seeing this what with the family saying they need their help to ,,a very informative video thank you for keeping him in the limelight and raising awareness of the dangers abroad not just with predators but the difference in legal systems /authorities handling of such may justice be found for him and all others missing 🪬🧿
I think this is a very good theory to be honest !! Why didn’t they check the blood spots on the steps? 😮
Interesting theory
Have you thought about getting to the point of the phone ping, then trying to work your way back to the main road, as this is what Lucy told him to do, looking for any possible shortcuts back to the main road, having walked that far, a shortcut back to the road sounds like a plausible option.
You are having a hard time breathing because of the Saharan dust. Calima is a term used in the Canary Islands for a weather phenomenon involving dusty, warm winds from the Sahara Desert. It creates a hot, dry fog that can cause irritation to the airways, reduce visibility, headaches, nausea and cover surfaces with fine dust.
Looking at how vast that area is I cannot believe anyone would think to go walking in that, surely you would stick to the road, I just really can't see it myself, but who knows eh😢
Surly Jay would only be sliding down if he could see the road at the bottom. Not just down in to bush’s
When you walk up and round the road you are able to look back down onto the road he was on he might have tried a short cut between the roads
I think he was sliding down making his way down to the sea hoping there was a beach n the road back to where he was staying. I think he's made it to the bottom and maybe fallen in the sea n that's why they can't find him.
Great video Paul!👏🏼 It really puts into perspective fully what the environment out there & even someone fit like you(with mountain climbing experience)feel how difficult it is, so Jay the morning after a rave, and just wearing shorts & t shirts, would of found it extremely hard.
Sorry Pedro can’t let you stay on, as that had been at least one weight off your mind, but hope you manage to secure somewhere such as the B & B.
You have really been a real trooper out there Paul💪🏼, so please don’t think we all don’t see the hard work you are putting in, its just the trolls with nothing better to do than criticise, when they likely have done absolutely nothing to help. They are actually detrimental , as it helps to have people boosting your moral, and thanking you, as you have spent weeks on this, purely to help a fellow Brit be found.
One thing I wanted to say though is please keep your wits about you, more so now, as if this was something nefarious & you one of the only few still searching it could be that you are a target, because if he has been taken, they won’t want him found. Considering the police crew left you on your own that day too, I would make sure you are wary of even the nicest ‘seeming’ people as they could be either media or people with intent on stopping you. Said a prayer for you for safety🙏🏼 Keep up the great work but please take rest too💙👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
*morale (excuse any typo’s)
I can’t get over that it’s only taken ten minutes but yet looks much further away 😮
That was good to see his route taken. Keep up the good work in searching. Well done you for all your hard work 👏
i dont know if you understand but the longer version video like this is incredibly helpful to try and piece together the last footsteps and trail he would have taken, i wish i could afford a trip over there and be able to bring my drones.. there is so much area to cover and all the help the family could get im sure is very much appreciated, and you know jay would appreciate it. keep up gods work sir!
DO NOT stay in that air B n B Paul. Red flags !
Jeez my thoughts exactly, Pedro all of a sudden changes his.mind after being so helpful, then suggesting stay in the b and b jay was at, no way pedro
I’d stay there! Then Debbie can pay for forensics to comb that place and find out if Jay really was in there,if he was I’m sure there would still be fingerprints or something.
@@jacquelinecook6275it’s all been prof cleaned and the bit at the back on wall has been re-painted.
Why would you even want to stay there because I wouldn't want too personally
@@puppymia1 Because it’s the only place available to stay that’s near to the search area.. otherwise it will involve lots of travelling /buses and that’s before even searching. However I would not stay there either!
Bus stop left hand side. That’s solves that one. Thanks for walking us true jays last seen movements.
Thats wird why has pedro changed his mind ?
Hope ur safe out there
Yes I thought that too weird
HOW LONG HAS THE ROAD WORKS BEEN GOING ON? had it already started before jay went missing?
Absolute madness guys Absolute madness!! Big love!!!
He would of took a shortcut to that path after coming off the phone to Brad. After the lady drove past him.. He walked to the end of the path then towards coast, then went north, in the direction he thought los cristianos was. Had he of went south he would of seen civilisation. Look at sheds and caves. Most likely would of survived until the first night were he would die of hypothermia or organ failure. Probably close to the coast, all he trying to do is get off the mountains he has no idea of the scale… 50% chance foul play because people are lieing and giving false accounts instead of being transparent and helping the investigation which indicates foul play. Hopefully your not wasting your time out there.
I agree with this analysis. He's heading for the coast and doing his best to get 'off the hill'. Temp that day were low 20's - he's pushed on past the end of the path and heading for the coast. If possible start at the coast and work back inland. Good work Paul. Stay safe.
Where did those three lads take the photo in the early hours? Each one standing on the white square barriers along the road side ??
So where was he last on the phone to Brad, where he slid down? Because on this walk you haven’t had to slide down anywhere?
My thoughts exactly I am now thinking someone threw his phone into this area as it pinged there 😢
There's no way I'd continue walking up this hill after seeing nothing but mountains especially feeling tired and exhausted when the bus is 10min away.. jake or anyone would've said, "Fuck this and walked back but noone probably saw him since it was very early and if I was thirsty I'd probably go left where all those buildings were to look for a shop or ask those residents for a cup of drink before making my way back up.
Makes me want to visit Tenerife, scenery looks amazing.
Reminds me of the Grand Canyon a bit but the mountains are more red and orange
I've been seven times. Yes it is very beautiful
So were did Ofelia ser him when se was driving 15 minutes after he left ?
Great question
That is a bloody good question. Pauls video here should be able to give a rough idea of an answer to that question ❤
Thank you for this video.
they tunnels carry the water pipes all over the mountains, they also lead to the beach
Why did he walk up the way and not down the way? It just doesn’t make sense
Great work Paul. If Jay took the route you walked he was heading to the coast for sure - just looking for a route 'off the hill'. From the end of that path to the coast is a couple of cliks - nasty terrain but temps in the low 20's that day so doable even with no fluids. If possible start at the coast and work back from there. Good luck and keep safe.
What an informative video. I can't understand why he said he was lost. If he turned back, he would have ended up on the road again. Dehydration and confusion, I guess, but It dont sit right. Thank you for doing this video.
Haven't seen this video before and even though it would appear that Jays body may have been found, I wanted to see the route he'd walked. Well done to you for spending so many hours, days searching thru' this terrain, what a nightmare of a place to have to work your way through. How this body has been found at all (even if it isn't his) is mind blowing given how all this area appears to be, it does appear to have been in an area that seems to be off one of those huge ridges. I hope to god this will be a warning to anyone, whatever age you are, to not venture anywhere alone when in a country you're not from - for a million reasons! Also, don't leave your accomodation before fully charging your phone!!! Well done Paul, I hope you go take some time to relax now, as do all the searchers.
having two order teen boys myself, I think he was escaping / running away from someone, 😢 thanks for your coverage
Up a hill ? Sounds fishy.
Great video Paul, thank you xx
What you said about the bus stop is exactly what I was thinking. He’s been out, no sleep so probably it fully tuned in. That bus stop would make you think the buses were heading in that direction
Add to that the fact that it's a narrow road that doesn't even have a dividing line to visualise two lanes, so that would confuse Jay even more, probably making him think it's a one-way road at the beginning of his walk if there was no traffic at that early time. I'm Spanish but I have been living in the UK for almost a decade. I swear, even I some times get confused when I'm visiting my family back in Spain (like my brain's been rewired).
@@georgezee5173absolutely! I honestly think this is why he was heading uphill to start with
Also when you apple map the route it takes you uphill
@@catkilic1my thoughts also
I'm not convinced he was ever there, these "witnesses" Can be fabricated in these type of cases to push a narrative but if I was doing a runner from the Airbnb I would of just hid in the bushes for 2 hours till the bus came, if he was there and the witness said he was alone at the bus stop then clearly nobody was chasing him, why not just listen for the bus or hide in the bushes while keeping an eye on the bus , soon as it come sprint to it and back to las Americas in no time... I think the witness is fake,, paid money to lie or being the Airbnb owner is connected to Lucy and is lying about seeing Jay, but even if he was there and went walking and was scared of the lads, surely he could of found a road eventually and flagged a car down it's not Alaska
Amazing views . Great video. Really puts things into perspective and shows you just how difficult it would be to even attempt to walk that distance . If you went off road it would be so easy to get lost .
he must have been very scared. So sad.
Great video, that’s really opened my eyes, keep up the great work
It makes so much sense that Jay was heading down towards the sea hoping for a beach or some cars, people, normality. He's left the road, started to do a short cut. Phone pinged, continued walking got to the end where this guy stopped recording, was to tired to walk back up so continued to cut across heading down towards the sea. I think he's in the terrain n they've not found him or fallen in the sea.
Did you take water with you? Your shadow makes it appear as if all you brought was your phone. Great video though.
23:03 the drain you walked past has that been checked
What if he was fleeing and seen head lights and went to hide
1:08 he could have gone down anywhere through the gaps of them stones especially rushing to get away from there, but I definitely think someone should check where them pictures was taken with the graffiti on.
There’s just something I seriously can’t let go of and it’s the footage of the video on the beach next to the club, upon watching it over and over there’s 3 people including the one who fell. It all seems to real for a troll to make up and then suddenly there’s a missing piece of footage. Really odd.
Seeing this area it's easy to see how Jay would think he could take a shortcut with hopes of cutting off hours of his journey. Equally easy to see how he could become disorientated and become lost. 😞
Having watched this video and thinking would he really go through all that bush heavily grown areas , he has been drinking all weekend he wouldn’t have had the energy for it , am starting to think foul play , something just don’t seem right ,
awesome video dude. makes us understand from a 1st narrator point of view. of what jay was seeing at the time prior to him going missing.
Thanks, Paul. this is a very good (edit: it's excellent) video - very informative. It's a trek and a half just on the road. Add no drink and thirst to that... I didn't know there was a cafe up at the viewing point, though. No one else had mentioned that viewing point cafe / shop before. What time does that cafe at the view point open for business? Surely he'd have got a drink / supplies from there. Plus, it would be a good rendezvous place to meet someone at, or to get a lift off someone from. Although, of course, his phone pings suggest he went on further from there. Where would he be aiming for / going to if he went that way from the viewing point?
Unfortunately the cafe doesn't open until 10am, same as the place next to the Air B&B.
opens at 10am.
@@shnicky4ever well, if it was him who walked to that View Point, then he'd likely have arrived there after 9 a.m. He'd have been thirsty, so surely he'd have then waited for that cafe / tourist shop to open to get himself a drink and to perhaps get supplies, too. First We're told he didn't wait for the bus which was less than a two hour wait. Now we are expected to believe that he wouldn't have waited less than an hour for that cafe / tourist shop to open... Is there a public toilet there - probably. He'd at least have been able to drink from the tap. He may have had or found an empty plastic container to top up and take away with him. "He wasn't (isn't) a stupid boy" after all. And no one did say that he was or is a stupid boy. It gets more and more ridiculous.
What an amazing video, just so sorry you had to come here under these tragic circumstances. A real needle in a haystack job. Take care, keep safe.
Your doing a great job mate 👍 from Jays home town Accrington 👍
Thank you for taking the time to show exactly where what how when . R I p jay
This is a great walk through thank-you. That looks like a mission though, alcohol dehydrates you then mix it with the heat ect. Do you not think it odd he apparently passes all those beauty spots and takes zero pics? How accurate is the GPS location has it been vetted by experts? What an odd path to take.
Really good video Paul and gives perspective 👌
even if he did pass out due to no water he wouldn't of dropped that far by the looks of all them bushes being so close together
El problema que veo es que Jay pudo caminar bastante desde que se terminó la batería. Yo creo que está mucho más lejos ....una hora, dos y hasta 5 mas lejos ...PD no he visto a nadie en todo el video....ni buscando ni circulando....es muy solitario
Apparnelt there are vultures on tenerife, you would've thought there had been sightings of them circling in the sky if his body was in that area
I would not overlook storm drains a kid disappeared here a few years ago and he was found naked in a storm drain and the case remains unsolved. It’s a convenient place to hide a body, and a convenient place to hide.
Was this the little boy Noah donohoe in Ireland, so sad that his mum never got answers :(
Another one there seems to be a lot of young people going missing in Tenerife and that lady who was found dismembered in the sea
😮😮😮
Keep up the good work Paul & thanks for doing this video. It’s such a vast area!
But wasnt jay sliding down hill on his snapchat call? 😕
Thank you for doing this video.. it’s very interesting and makes me understand better of how easy it was for the poor boy to get lost ..
Keep up and good work and stay safe out there x
Beautiful place , i just do not uunderstand why he would attempt to walk in all that bramble and cacti.
Maybe he had to hiding from someone but can you imagine with shorts on

I'm a searcher, and with an area that big generally a high def drone is used and it records the entire location. The drone/camera has Long/Lat capabilities. The data is downloaded and teams sit and examine the footage via the computer. Programs are used with that data that can pick out a particular color and mark the frame/area/gps so teams can go to that exact area to check it out. It is commendable what you are doing, but viewing all this shaky camera footage isn't doing the missing person any favors, and it quite honestly sensless & maddening.
Well at least he is still out there searching, where is everyone else, plus the Police had drones out. Paul knows all kinds of terrains, he is a climber luckily. But just maybe, this video could give a different outlook or pointers, that can be given to the Police or his parents, that may potentially give some answers.
Thanks Paul, this is a really informative video.
Great video.
Sure you said “guys” at least 600 times in 46 mins though 😁
Glad you ok Paul
He was never in the mountains GUYS, this dude when he speaks is the equivalent of the lighthouse family song "lifted"
Already, a couple of minutes in, and you can see you are going deeper and deeper into the mountains. Why on Earth would anyone do that?
From one climber to another well done in your efforts mate, keep it up!
Why did pedro chamge his mind?
Can't imagine a young lad, hung over, drugged up, scared and thirsty could have managed a fraction of that walk 🤷♀️
Police haven't actually disclosed where body was found, adding that dogs didnt previously pick up on scent for a body apparently in the wild for almost a month is suss..
To search this you need a hundred people to big of an area for such a small amount of people that has been out
Surely if he had walked to the end of that gravel path he wouldn’t have then thought he could get through all that bushy area?? I know he had had a good night the night before and wasn’t at his best but the lads common sense would have kicked in at some point surely?
Paul you are simply an angel. I hope this video shuts a lot of the armchair detectives up now that they can see what you are up against.
Why has pedro changed his mind about you staying at his though?
Why go all that way on the road then off onto a dirt track?! Surly he going back on himself then…? I can’t get my head round that, seeing it from this video…
No. No way! Has Jay been there. It’s impossible.
If you Apple map it and look at directions it says to veer into tracks
