JAY Slater could still be alive in another part of Tenerife, investigators probing the Brit's disappearance believe.
Spanish police are now set to pursue at least three bombshell leads after a source in Tenerife told The Sun the case is "very much open" with "all scenarios being kept in mind".
Cops announced on Tuesday there are still "several lines of inquiry" active in the hunt to find the missing teen.
As The Sun revealed investigators haven't deemed the teen as "missing feared dead" yet.
One of the trio of potential leads revolves around a theory suggesting Jay could be in a different part of Tenerife - far away from where rescuers and his family have been searching.
The 19-year-old has been missing for over three weeks after he vanished while on holiday in Tenerife with his two pals Lucy Mae Law and Brad Hargreaves.
The apprentice bricklayer from Lancashire headed back to an Airbnb hours away from his holiday apartment after a night of partying on June 16 with two "new friends".
He was reported missing by pal Lucy hours after he left the rented home in Masca as he embarked on a treacherous 11-hour trek through rough and rocky terrain.
The Spanish Guardia Civil deployed a mammoth search party in hopes of finding Jay as his family and friends all flew out to look for him.
Efforts have centred around Rural de Teno park - a mountainous region near to where his phone's location pinged for the final time.
As well as the town of Santiago del Teide when apparent CCTV footage caught Jay wandering across the road.
A source told The Sun: “Even though the ground search for Jay is over, the investigation into where he might be still remains very much open.
"One line of inquiry is a theory that Jay might even be in a different part of Tenerife and still alive. All scenarios are being kept in mind.
