Contact [email protected] mother of a British teenager who went missing after getting lost in a Tenerife national park yesterday said she is 'beside herself with worry' in her first comments since touching down in the Canary Islands today.
His phone location showed he was in a mountainous area of a national park some 10 hours' walk away from his accommodation - and he has not been seen since. Debbie also revealed she had received several prank calls from hidden numbers claiming they had taken her son and held him for ransom, describing the pranksters' jokes as 'sickening'.Jay is seen in this image shared to his friend Lucy's social media days before he disappeared
'I just think it was a question of him not knowing the island well enough because it was his first time here and being a bit disorientated when it came to distances and not realising it was a 10-hour walk from where he went missing to his holiday accommodation. 'I've been getting lots of prank calls. It's sickening. People ringing me and saying they've got Jay because he owes them money.
In the video Jay was seen in the outfit he was last seen wearing, which consists of a light grey t-shirt with green shoulders as well as a black bag.Lucy recounted how she received a call from a confused Jay on Monday morning some time after 8am in which told her that his phone battery was on 1 per cent, that he needed a drink of water and 'didn't know where he was'.
Jay's phone died yesterday morning with his last known location registered in the 'Rural de Teno' park, an area that is popular with hikers but very exposed and far away from heavily populated areasSpeaking to the Manchester Evening News about Jay's disappearance, a scared Lucy said: 'He's gone on a night out, he's gone to a friend's house, someone that he has met on holiday.
'He rang me saying his phone was on 1 per cent, he said ''I don't know where I am, I need a drink and my phone is about to die''.'Lucy said she is frantically searching for her friend on the island, having made several reports to local police in Tenerife and made contact with the British Embassy. 'Jay is very street wise and he's no mug but if it's it was dark and he had no touch on his phone he could have gone the wrong way and become more lost than he was.''A specialist Mountain Rescue and Intervention Group called the Greim have been mobilised,' she said.'Other emergency services including firefighters have also been mobilised. Everything possible is being done to try to find the missing man.
'The area they're covering is a very large area that includes all the Teno Massif where there's mountains. The focus area appears to be Masca and Carrizales and they've got drones up trying to establish why this lad might be. 'I've never been so worried in my life. I was there all yesterday, a lovely lady messaged me on Facebook and said she had hired a car and would drive me up there', Lucy added.
