Paul, you are keeping this case alive sir… excellent work, ignore the armchair haters, you are there being part of the solution. It’s guys like you that make the difference. Keep them coming Amigo, glued to your daily vlogs now. Top work…👍👍👍
@@karenbrooks8862 Kaz , l come from a family of wetters. Great gramps was a wetter, gramps was a wetter and my dad also wet the bed. I take after my mum's side of the family . I never was a wetter 😊
I had done this "walk" through Google Streetview, but it's definitely not the same at all. It doesn't give you a proper idea, and it misses the part when Jay walked off the road. Paul is doing a great job
We never doubted you! Ignore the hate on tiktok, the app is toxic and people are awful! You're a good person with a good heart and the rest of us are behind you 😊!
Thanks for sharing this video, which shows us just how inhospitable and vast the terrain is. You've been putting so much energy and effort into this. Thank you.
Literally a minute into this and already have questions 😢. The road work peeked my interest and what a walk this looks like an impossible search and rescue / recovery. Prayers for Jay and his family❤
I'm 17 minutes into ur video Paul & I dont think there is any way he would have tried to go too far off road. That terrain is way too treacherous like you've said in all your videos.. Thanks for doing a video from the air b&b up that road. It gives a better insight into things from Jay's perspective. I'm even more convinced of foul play at this point unfortunately. Stay safe Paul
Hes a young lad he would of had no idea how difficult this would be to walk, don't forget drugs and alcohol most likely play a part here. Thank god Paul's carrying on looking because he's out there somewhere
In my opinion a 19 year old hungover with shorts on would not willingly go into undergrowth unless he slipped and fell in and at that point would be easily found surely .. he would use technology to find a route and Apple Maps does take you off road I checked myself .. I don’t think he went mountain climbing with trainers and shorts on he was looking for food water and his hotel
There was no reason for him too walk down there none whatsoever, the phone pinged is wrong it's out he never left the road, if anything he realised he was going in the wrong direction and walked back the way, on road something has happened while walking on the road, but definitely he's not in there not a hope
I am from Masca. I would like to thank for this video, showing Jay's last steps. It is tragic, it should never have happened. I know well the territory, I am a hiker, the boy was completely disorientated, I am still regretting his destiny. Masca Valley ends at the point view with the coffee shop. You have entered, following Jay, the next ravine, el barranco de Juan López, abandoned many years ago. I will never forget him. Thank you for your walk.
You do realise his supposed body was found 2.5 hours down the barranco? Yeah right, off his head, no water, wearing flimsy footwear and shorts and he gets that far!!
Thank you for everything your doing to find jay and for keeping him out there i appreciate all your efforts and i hope your looking after yourself too and eating a more balanced diet than you were when you first went out there and please stay hydrated and stay safe big love and respect to you ❤❤
Paul thankyou for the insight of the terrain you have been covering. You have been amazing and relentless, so much respect to you. It must have been so hard for you to tackle this each day relentlessly. Thankyou for your staying power, you are one great guy. Much love and positive vibes sent your way, take care of you🧡✌️
Thank you for the update and showing the route Jay took , still seems bizarre why he would go off road to walk into that where looking at it you would potentially know you would be more in a situation to get lost or get hurt , surely he would of seen that and walked back up to the main road he would of had more chance of flagging a car or someone for help . It’s so sad 😢bless him I do hope he is found 🙏💙 take care Paul so much respect for what your doing xx
Writing this the day after the body was found thank you for uploading this video. Just a couple of minutes into the video you can see obviously nobody in their right mind would be going off-road without a very good reason.
What really comes across is how the perspective of distance across valleys and true height of the cacti and aloe vera is difficult to gauge. Everything looks on a much smaller scale until you get up close up to it. Well done Paul, this video is excellent.
Paul wish people was more like you All them haters on TikTok is unbelievable, especially Hayley Keep your good work up. We are all behind you Love and respect x
What's weird to me is if I'm Brad and that's my mate I'm up there with the search team trying to pin point and show what I could see on that final call
Well done paul doin this walk . That looks one scary walk even in daylight. But as a mother I would of did this walk with u if many my sons were missing out there .
Paul this is a brilliant video , so detailed! I think this has just given everybody an understanding of the task...dear God! It's a good job you are fit, you'd have to be for this!! Sorry to hear about Pedro, can't believe it! You need to be in Masca, you can do all this if you are not. Keep safe
If he wanted to help he would but he’s creating content out of it so ultimately he’s making money someone said he made 5k off 1 TikTok live😂 just another note not 1 of his recent tik toks is under a minute just saying
I've been following in owe.... but hearing you won't hand over where searched or grids.... not sure how it work but this work is being done in the best interests of Jay
It looks like a very vast area. If Jay was walking that route there seems to be plenty of sections at the side of the road where he could rest and flag down a car for help. If he was thirsty and hungry he would have waited at the cafe, if he was ever really on that road. Also, why are you on your own surely some of his friends or family that asked you to go out there would do these walks with you. Be careful Paul, something doesn't feel right about this.
@@mmull6620 No they stopped in Santiago del Teide in the car on the way to the Airbnb, there is a cafe and a petrol station there with a small shop that both open around 5:30am according to Google maps. Don't know why a cafe in a tiny town in Tenerife opens so ridiculously early, but apparently it does.
Many thanks for this video it really shows how difficult it is to search there. I visited Masca for the first time almost 40 years ago. Then just like now, I don't understand how people can choose to settle there. How did they support themselves and what did they live on, one might askThe village is more than 1000 years old and was founded by the indigenous guanche population. The tour guide described it as the forgotten village which makes sense. it was very difficult to get to and from there and many people living even close by did not know the village. Tourism and better roads changed that. Masca looks very much like the valleys do on the neighboring island of La Gomera. In La Gomera there are no roads along the coast. Instead, you have to go up a bit and then go down into the various valleys. They use terraces to be able to grow, just like they seem to do in some places in Masca. I'm afraid we never may find Jay considering even dogs find it hard to move around in this terrain. Goats seem to manage better. I pray for Jay and his family.
if i was pissed up, didnt know where i was .. even after a drink, i would stick to a main road, and hope it led somewhere .. if jay had walked to the end of the path, reached a dead end,as you did, you would assume he would walk back .. if he walked for 30 mins, and thats where the last mobile ping was, that gives you a rough idea / radius of the last phone ping, but possibly not where jay was or is .. he could have walked, battery died, but then walked for another 2 hours after .. if that occured, he literally could be anywhere, in any direction .. some are saying he had a full battery, before he set out 30 mins prior?? what if his phone was disposed of, but jay was never there? .. it would be impossible to cover that area with a metal detector .. i find it hard to believe that anyone drunk, dressed in flimsy shorts and t shirt, would attempt to navigate through that landscape .. the only time i could imagine a person going off-road,in that enviroment, is if they needed a piss, in which case they would get back on the main road,or if they were being chased, or trying to get away or avoid someone .. those cactus's / plants i imagine would tear your legs apart .. jay apparently said he cut his leg on a cactus, hard to know how true this is, or whether it is to deflect people away from what actually happened? i still think something happened at the airbnb, and find it hard to believe the statements so far .. either they all lying, and not telling us the full truth, or the public are not being told the full truth as not to jeopordize the case .. or maybe a bit of both .. at present, there are too many inconsistencies,if they were all telling the truth, there would only be one version of events .. not 3 ..
@@georgezee5173I think you’re right he would have Apple Maps a direction and when his battery died tried to continue on up that’s if there’s no foul play .. even thirsty people can keep going
If I was drunk n hungover I'd be more daring n attempt walking through the terrain thinking it's a short cut down to the beach where there's fresh water, people n a beach. Maybe he got to the end of the path n thought he'd turn back but he was to tired to go back up the path so cut across the bushes not realising how bushy it was. I reckon he's on the terrain or fallen in the sea
Given the location of that last ping, I’ve given some credibility to the possibility that Jays phone and himself is likely have parted ways. If this theory is correct then it is entirely possible that Jays phone is still on the ground somewhere in the brush there. It is worth considering to find a safe way to make a more thorough search for his phone. I want to illiterate here I’m not trying to peddle any theory of a kidnapping or speculating the phone was thrown, there is still a possibility the phone was dropped. Either way the potential of the phone lying on the ground somewhere around there, is worth looking into. ❤
This video is ( in the sad circumstances) terrific . Everyone’s showing maps and areas without the route , so unless you can read maps or been physically it was hard to understand where he went etc . I’ve always stuck up for yourself and others and will forever do so . I can understand why he would cut down to the dirt track and get lost as it’s a dead end so he definitely gone via bush . The phone ping has to be out by a few feet .. Noway he went into that bush unless as Chris said it’s been tossed . Keep up good work Paul 😊
So what stoney area he sliding down with the white road stones visable in the background then if what he friend suggests he must of been sliding down off near the road before this track ????
What a vast area and the conditions... PLEASE STAY SAFE PAUL ... YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB ... Please keep yourself self aswell it looks very difficult terrain 🙏🙏🙏
I find it hard to believe that he would go off the road, in my mind I would have stayed on the road but then if he had surely someone would have found him near to the road but no one has. This video is really interesting but gives loads more questions about this situation. It also shows the vast area you are having to cover daily. Keep up the great work Paul and stay safe. ⛰️ ☀️
Been told he can stay where Jay stayed😱🤔🫣there's no way that lad went on that route after supposedly being woken from sleep ,,,,💊 and alcohol consumed other several days , as anyone that has woken from such would no* not in a million years, after seeing your video im going back to the theory that he attempted it went back up to the road and that woman Ofelia ran him over she was the last person to see him alive ,,, maybe the cameras need to time her journey and figure out if she stopped and what other cars left/came into masca ,, maybe the guys in the lay by went to check as shed said shed hit someone (they haven't identified themselves or came forward🤔he was then moved it's only logical thing as if he was in mountains there would be signs from the birds with him decomposing in heat ,they say that woman pedro ECT are well connected ... maybe they took him back to bnb after being hit hence the painting cleaning n blood traces found ,maybe he passed from injury's there and their all part of the cover up ...hence all the story's being here, there and every where ... ... IF HE EVER LEFT THE BNB IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT IS without delving into the dark theories flying about . One thing is for sure that boy never left masca on foot definatliy not after seeing this video ,hopefully now UK and interpol will look into it after seeing this what with the family saying they need their help to ,,a very informative video thank you for keeping him in the limelight and raising awareness of the dangers abroad not just with predators but the difference in legal systems /authorities handling of such may justice be found for him and all others missing 🪬🧿
@@em6577that’s correct, it seems he did not want to go back to Los christianos the normal way, Ophelia directed him to the bust stop, and he goes the opposite way, which is what Paul’s route is showing.
No way was seriously attempting that walk on a come down or nights drinking or both... Even if he was still buzzing from gear you would still know that walk is ridiculous , people are talking like he was actually attempting to walk back but it's more likely trying to cut across to find a main Rd to flag a taxi without being seen by whoever he was avoiding
IF, IF jay was there, I can see how he would have said to Lucy he is lost, it makes sense now seeing it visually, he wouldn't have been able to find his way back from there, from where Paul said he had been walking 37minutes, although it's one path but when it all looks the same and panic sets in plus the state he was in, the search guys could walk past him in a ditch and you would never see him, really 😔
You are having a hard time breathing because of the Saharan dust. Calima is a term used in the Canary Islands for a weather phenomenon involving dusty, warm winds from the Sahara Desert. It creates a hot, dry fog that can cause irritation to the airways, reduce visibility, headaches, nausea and cover surfaces with fine dust.
i dont know if you understand but the longer version video like this is incredibly helpful to try and piece together the last footsteps and trail he would have taken, i wish i could afford a trip over there and be able to bring my drones.. there is so much area to cover and all the help the family could get im sure is very much appreciated, and you know jay would appreciate it. keep up gods work sir!
What you said about the bus stop is exactly what I was thinking. He’s been out, no sleep so probably it fully tuned in. That bus stop would make you think the buses were heading in that direction
Add to that the fact that it's a narrow road that doesn't even have a dividing line to visualise two lanes, so that would confuse Jay even more, probably making him think it's a one-way road at the beginning of his walk if there was no traffic at that early time. I'm Spanish but I have been living in the UK for almost a decade. I swear, even I some times get confused when I'm visiting my family back in Spain (like my brain's been rewired).
I'm not convinced he was ever there, these "witnesses" Can be fabricated in these type of cases to push a narrative but if I was doing a runner from the Airbnb I would of just hid in the bushes for 2 hours till the bus came, if he was there and the witness said he was alone at the bus stop then clearly nobody was chasing him, why not just listen for the bus or hide in the bushes while keeping an eye on the bus , soon as it come sprint to it and back to las Americas in no time... I think the witness is fake,, paid money to lie or being the Airbnb owner is connected to Lucy and is lying about seeing Jay, but even if he was there and went walking and was scared of the lads, surely he could of found a road eventually and flagged a car down it's not Alaska
Have you thought about getting to the point of the phone ping, then trying to work your way back to the main road, as this is what Lucy told him to do, looking for any possible shortcuts back to the main road, having walked that far, a shortcut back to the road sounds like a plausible option.
Looking at how vast that area is I cannot believe anyone would think to go walking in that, surely you would stick to the road, I just really can't see it myself, but who knows eh😢
Great video Paul!👏🏼 It really puts into perspective fully what the environment out there & even someone fit like you(with mountain climbing experience)feel how difficult it is, so Jay the morning after a rave, and just wearing shorts & t shirts, would of found it extremely hard. Sorry Pedro can’t let you stay on, as that had been at least one weight off your mind, but hope you manage to secure somewhere such as the B & B. You have really been a real trooper out there Paul💪🏼, so please don’t think we all don’t see the hard work you are putting in, its just the trolls with nothing better to do than criticise, when they likely have done absolutely nothing to help. They are actually detrimental , as it helps to have people boosting your moral, and thanking you, as you have spent weeks on this, purely to help a fellow Brit be found. One thing I wanted to say though is please keep your wits about you, more so now, as if this was something nefarious & you one of the only few still searching it could be that you are a target, because if he has been taken, they won’t want him found. Considering the police crew left you on your own that day too, I would make sure you are wary of even the nicest ‘seeming’ people as they could be either media or people with intent on stopping you. Said a prayer for you for safety🙏🏼 Keep up the great work but please take rest too💙👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Haven't seen this video before and even though it would appear that Jays body may have been found, I wanted to see the route he'd walked. Well done to you for spending so many hours, days searching thru' this terrain, what a nightmare of a place to have to work your way through. How this body has been found at all (even if it isn't his) is mind blowing given how all this area appears to be, it does appear to have been in an area that seems to be off one of those huge ridges. I hope to god this will be a warning to anyone, whatever age you are, to not venture anywhere alone when in a country you're not from - for a million reasons! Also, don't leave your accomodation before fully charging your phone!!! Well done Paul, I hope you go take some time to relax now, as do all the searchers.
He would of took a shortcut to that path after coming off the phone to Brad. After the lady drove past him.. He walked to the end of the path then towards coast, then went north, in the direction he thought los cristianos was. Had he of went south he would of seen civilisation. Look at sheds and caves. Most likely would of survived until the first night were he would die of hypothermia or organ failure. Probably close to the coast, all he trying to do is get off the mountains he has no idea of the scale… 50% chance foul play because people are lieing and giving false accounts instead of being transparent and helping the investigation which indicates foul play. Hopefully your not wasting your time out there.
I agree with this analysis. He's heading for the coast and doing his best to get 'off the hill'. Temp that day were low 20's - he's pushed on past the end of the path and heading for the coast. If possible start at the coast and work back inland. Good work Paul. Stay safe.
I’d stay there! Then Debbie can pay for forensics to comb that place and find out if Jay really was in there,if he was I’m sure there would still be fingerprints or something.
@@puppymia1 Because it’s the only place available to stay that’s near to the search area.. otherwise it will involve lots of travelling /buses and that’s before even searching. However I would not stay there either!
I think he was sliding down making his way down to the sea hoping there was a beach n the road back to where he was staying. I think he's made it to the bottom and maybe fallen in the sea n that's why they can't find him.
Was there a sign for opening hours on the cafe door? I’m not convinced he kept going. I reckon he went back and foul play occurred on return somewhere along the road. Were the men with car darting down to ditch at around the same time Jay went missing? Do you not feel creeped out by staying in that Airbnb?
It makes so much sense that Jay was heading down towards the sea hoping for a beach or some cars, people, normality. He's left the road, started to do a short cut. Phone pinged, continued walking got to the end where this guy stopped recording, was to tired to walk back up so continued to cut across heading down towards the sea. I think he's in the terrain n they've not found him or fallen in the sea.
What an informative video. I can't understand why he said he was lost. If he turned back, he would have ended up on the road again. Dehydration and confusion, I guess, but It dont sit right. Thank you for doing this video.
There's no way I'd continue walking up this hill after seeing nothing but mountains especially feeling tired and exhausted when the bus is 10min away.. jake or anyone would've said, "Fuck this and walked back but noone probably saw him since it was very early and if I was thirsty I'd probably go left where all those buildings were to look for a shop or ask those residents for a cup of drink before making my way back up.
I'm a searcher, and with an area that big generally a high def drone is used and it records the entire location. The drone/camera has Long/Lat capabilities. The data is downloaded and teams sit and examine the footage via the computer. Programs are used with that data that can pick out a particular color and mark the frame/area/gps so teams can go to that exact area to check it out. It is commendable what you are doing, but viewing all this shaky camera footage isn't doing the missing person any favors, and it quite honestly sensless & maddening.
Well at least he is still out there searching, where is everyone else, plus the Police had drones out. Paul knows all kinds of terrains, he is a climber luckily. But just maybe, this video could give a different outlook or pointers, that can be given to the Police or his parents, that may potentially give some answers.
Great work Paul. If Jay took the route you walked he was heading to the coast for sure - just looking for a route 'off the hill'. From the end of that path to the coast is a couple of cliks - nasty terrain but temps in the low 20's that day so doable even with no fluids. If possible start at the coast and work back from there. Good luck and keep safe.
Seeing this area it's easy to see how Jay would think he could take a shortcut with hopes of cutting off hours of his journey. Equally easy to see how he could become disorientated and become lost. 😞
I would not overlook storm drains a kid disappeared here a few years ago and he was found naked in a storm drain and the case remains unsolved. It’s a convenient place to hide a body, and a convenient place to hide.
It's so sad that he was so close, and you couldn't be the one to find him. You worked so damn hard Paul. 😢 I hope that you can also heal from this situation 🙏
Amazing views . Great video. Really puts things into perspective and shows you just how difficult it would be to even attempt to walk that distance . If you went off road it would be so easy to get lost .
I just cant see someone whose been on a night out is thirsty walking that far. Sadly i have a feeling he never was there Monday morning someone else had his phone.
Surely if he had walked to the end of that gravel path he wouldn’t have then thought he could get through all that bushy area?? I know he had had a good night the night before and wasn’t at his best but the lads common sense would have kicked in at some point surely? Paul you are simply an angel. I hope this video shuts a lot of the armchair detectives up now that they can see what you are up against. Why has pedro changed his mind about you staying at his though?
El problema que veo es que Jay pudo caminar bastante desde que se terminó la batería. Yo creo que está mucho más lejos ....una hora, dos y hasta 5 mas lejos ...PD no he visto a nadie en todo el video....ni buscando ni circulando....es muy solitario
Police haven't actually disclosed where body was found, adding that dogs didnt previously pick up on scent for a body apparently in the wild for almost a month is suss..
1:08 he could have gone down anywhere through the gaps of them stones especially rushing to get away from there, but I definitely think someone should check where them pictures was taken with the graffiti on.
There’s just something I seriously can’t let go of and it’s the footage of the video on the beach next to the club, upon watching it over and over there’s 3 people including the one who fell. It all seems to real for a troll to make up and then suddenly there’s a missing piece of footage. Really odd.
Having watched this video and thinking would he really go through all that bush heavily grown areas , he has been drinking all weekend he wouldn’t have had the energy for it , am starting to think foul play , something just don’t seem right ,
For me, the first point he’s seen the sea from that road point / route he’s headed in that direction towards the sea over that terrain. His friend Brad has stated in the conversation they had that Jay stated “He (Jay) said I’m not walking round all that road & he was off road sliding down some stones”. So that tells us he’s gone into that terrain. And watching this footage I very much doubt Jay as stayed on that road the length of time you have. Especially after a 3 day bender, dehydrated, coming down off drugs, no phone. In this state Jay would’ve been feeling desperate. & that’s why I’m sensing the first point he’s seen the sea & he’s headed that way. Sounds grim but I feel you have been closer to Jay than you realise.
Thank you so much for this video. It gives us a bit of an idea of the area where Jay may have walked. It looks terrible. Shouldn't think of walking there alone. I think his mobile was thrown down there. Probably he got in touch with the wrong criminal people, like Ayub. Why would someone like him rent an Air B&B so far away? And Lucy and Bras also know more than they are saying. I respect you and your search and hope you will eventually find him although he won't be alive anymore 😔
Thank you for doing this video.. it’s very interesting and makes me understand better of how easy it was for the poor boy to get lost .. Keep up and good work and stay safe out there x
Oh how sad,😢 Paul’s worked so hard . What time stamp of you don’t mind me asking ? I was wondering if this video showed the area or if jay was found somewhere not included in this video
We can only imagine how difficult the terrain is to navigate. It would be very easy to have an opinion but unless you’re there feet on that ground one can’t comprehend it. I went there in 1996 and from memory it was difficult back then but I’ve slept since. Well done on being there and looking still.
Don't care what anyone says I really feel it for his mother. His family just seem like naive working people and like a lot of parents didn't know what their son was up to until the court aspect. It's alright us all having theories but I'll confer that if placed in their position, trolls would be insignificant to what they are experiencing.
Hes a teenage boy he absolutely would of walked threw they thinking He could cut threw also he isn't from there so wouldn't of realised how dangerous it is. And also boys don't see danger I have w teenagers my self no fear
What 19 year old after a three day bender really is thinking clearly? that desperation to get back to your friends also not knowing the area and thinking things are alot closer than they are and it's not as far to walk. I truly believe he was already dead by the time the search teams were out there. He could have fallen had a heart attack anything could of happend out there. He needs to be found desperately to bring peace to his family and stop all the crazy theories and absolute horrendous things that are being said about this young lad and his family. This is another case that's really has made me hate the human race there's so little compassion out there from people it's sickening
Hope you are good Paul. Really hope something comes up soon. I cant imagine what Jays family & friends are going through. Please keep us all updated over there ❤
