A journalist has revealed what they believe is the real reason that the hunt for missing teen Jay Slater has ended.

Tenerife Police called off their search yesterday after the teenage boy had been missing for two weeks.

Slater went missing after attending a music festival on the Spanish island.

After the music event the teenager travelled to an Airbnb in Masca with people he met on Sunday, June 16.

Speaking to GB News, journalist Gerard Couzens explained: "I think the reason that they've called it off is simply due to the information they've got available, in terms of his last known phone location.

"They've searched and researched as best they can and looked in all the areas that he could be.

"Obviously, if he's carried on walking and done unexpected things once his phone's off or he has switched to a completely different area of Tenerife, they've not got that information to go.

"They cannot just blindly change municipalities and start searching in another area without something to go on. I wouldn't deduct from this that they think he's in that area but dead because I think they'd carry on searching if they if that was the case."
