Jay Slater made a tragic admission to his friend on the morning that he disappeared. The 19-year-old from Lancashire went missing after going to a music festival in Tenerife last year. Following a 29-day search, his body was found near the village of Masca. Jay was with his friend Brandon Hodgson partying the night before he disappeared.
Brandon has now revealed the final conversation the pair had the morning after, with a tragic admission from Jay. On the morning Jay disappeared, the pair were talking via video and message on the social media platform Snapchat from the Airbnb they were renting in Masca. Brandon told former detective Mark Williams-Thomas that he called Jay when he had decided to walk back to the accommodation, the Mirror reports.

“He said, ‘I’ve started walking’, he was laughing at first, then he sent me his location,” said Brandon.
“On the phone he said to me ‘I’ve been walking for half an hour’, I told him to go back and he said, ‘I’ve already been walking for half an hour, I’m not going back, I don’t want to go back.
“I just want to go home.”
Jay is reported to have left the Papagayo nightclub, in the resort of Playa de las Americas, on June 16 before going to an Airbnb apartment located in the north of Tenerife with two men. He was then reported missing on June 18 after vanishing.
The 19-year-old’s friend Lucy Law, told Mr Williams-Thomas that she did not know who the two men he left the nightclub with.
“I have no idea. I don’t know who they are! How would I know who they are?” the 20-year-old told the former detective.

Mr Williams-Thomas replied: “But you don’t just pass people in a coffee shop and spend two nights with them, and then Jay gets in a car with them. Why were they staying so far away?”
Lucy then said: “I don’t know. I had never met these people in my life.”
Jay’s body was found by the Spanish Civil Guard in a steep and inaccessible area near the village of Masca on July 15. His death was caused by a severe head injury and an inquest revealed that the pattern of injuries was consistent with a fall.
An inquest into his death heard how traces of cocaine, ketamine and ecstasy were found in his body.
