We can’t forget that Harrison put up a post on TikTok saying he saw Jay at the NRG festival. He said they spoke, but that Jay left before him. Now, if this was someone who didn’t really know Jay and just had a quick interaction, then fair enough — he might not know anything.

But here’s the thing: Harrison has a picture of himself with Brad and Brandon as his TikTok profile picture. That suggests he knows them, right? I mean, you don’t just take a random photo with two people and make it your profile picture if you’re not at least somewhat connected. He even said he’s friends with Jay. So, this wasn’t just some random encounter — they were friends.

That’s strange to me, because originally, the names we kept hearing were Brad, Jay, Lucy, and Brandon. But now, all of a sudden, we’ve got Josh, Leo, and Harrison being mentioned. Clearly, there were more people involved than we initially thought — some of whom we didn’t even know about until the inquest.

If Harrison really did speak to Jay and was friends with him, you’d think he’d have some idea of what was going on within that group. So why hasn’t he been mentioned at the inquest? Has he gone completely undetected? That could be because he’s lying — or maybe he was somehow kept out of the story and managed to avoid being questioned, even though he admitted interacting with Jay at the festival.

But again, no one has confirmed that Harrison is telling the truth. Brad and Brandon haven’t said anything. And Jay’s not here to confirm it either. It’s starting to feel a bit like the whole situation with Josh.

Next: Lucy’s early response.
One of Lucy’s first responses to Jay going missing was:

“He’s an adult. He wanted to stay out, and I wanted to go home. I left him with people he knew around. I didn’t expect him to go to the other side of the island.”

To me, it sounds like she’s saying it’s Jay’s fault. That everything he did was his own decision, and she had nothing to do with it. But let’s not forget that Lucy made multiple attempts to get Jay to come home that night — and she did that for a reason. Maybe because she knew something wasn’t right.

Could it be related to Jay’s bank account being used for something involving illegal substances?

Aub also told us that she left with Brandon — they apparently went to find something or went home. Those were her exact words, I think.

So how was Brandon feeling after Jay couldn’t get his money out? Brandon was with Lucy, so she would definitely have known about the situation — even if she wasn’t directly involved.

I just find it convenient that Lucy leaves with the person Jay may have owed money to — then later says she left him with people he knew and that everything was fine. But once things go wrong, she blames Jay and says she did nothing wrong.

To me, that story doesn’t add up. I get that people make mistakes, but at this point, we need the truth. We need justice for Jay.

Let’s talk about those edited pictures.
After seeing this clip, it’s clear that something is off.

You can see in both pictures — Jay’s arm looks extremely thin. It really does make it look like the images have been edited. And I want to be clear: these are both original images. I checked.

To me, it definitely looks like they’ve been altered. The question is: why?

What would be the point of editing these pictures — unless something happened to Jay in the days leading up to his disappearance? There’s actual footage of Jay at the NRG festival, so it doesn’t make much sense why anyone would need to edit his pictures.

If we had to guess who did it, we might look at Lucy or Rachel — because the first photo (the one of Lucy, Brandon, and Jay at the pool) came from Lucy’s Instagram, and the second one came from Rachel. But it’s also possible Brad sent it to Rachel already edited.

That’s where both photos came from — but why they look edited is still a mystery. I honestly can’t figure out what the goal of editing them would be, or what’s being hidden.

So for now, I’ll just say: this whole situation is strange.
But what do you guys think?
Have any of you figured out what might be hidden or what the purpose of editing those pictures could be? If so, let me know in the comments.

Finally, some inquest updates.
It’s been mentioned that Jay’s friends who were abroad are expected to attend the inquest when it continues. So — no more excuses.
I expect all of Jay’s friends to show up, explain themselves, and give us the answers we’ve been waiting for. Their testimonies could bring out so much more information.

Also, Jay’s mom, Debbie, said that something went wrong that day. And the way she said it — it really seems like deep down, she doesn’t know what happened but just wants Aub and Rocky to finally tell her the full story.

We’ll have to wait and see what happens if they turn up — because I honestly don’t know if Debbie or Warren will be happy with what they hear from Aub.

Their reactions will be key if we’re going to have any real chance of pushing for a proper investigation anytime soon.

And yes, we’re still waiting for Mark Williams-Thomas to release everything. He promised it would be out “in days” — but now, it’s looking more like weeks. So there’s still a lot to come.
