Understanding Jay Slater case

[softmauve]

Can someone explain what is known about this.
My brief understanding (and I'm possibly wrong) is that he had a scuffle and stole a Rolex outside the party he attended. Then went back to an Airbnb with two British guys he didn't know. Stayed there a couple of hours then attempted to walk back to his accommodation. Had a couple of phone calls with friends that give no particular info. The British guys are not involved (seems odd that he was with them). And JS is still missing or possibly hiding/kidnapped. Who has the Rolex?
It all sounds very convoluted and a clear picture would obviously help people understand.

Snapchat is unverifiable.

And no, the police have not confirmed it. It's only being talked about because a private investigator (who would have no access to the police investigation) has asserted it.

Ah, what to believe..
Just listened to The media programme on radio 4 . They were discussing professional journalism and internet sleuths.
Brief mention of this case - mainly that there was zero info from police ,v little to report on.As a result , theories fill the void.
Location of air bnb v . remote .
Posters organized and put up by Jays dad and ? son. No other input from police etc.

No other input from police etc.Regarding putting up posters I mean.

However, all reports in this case have very clearly stated that it was a Rolex watch that was stolen. Ignore speculation that it was drugs. It wasn't.

Check out the crerdentials of that guy he stayed with in the air bnb then post back!

No, we don't know he had stolen a watch. I love the way you say you hate conspiracy theories but then quote one as fact. All we know for sure is that a Rolex watch was allegedly stolen, and a private investigator claims that his friends say he was involved.

This investigator has no access to the police investigation. He is apparently trying to give his reports more credibility by claiming he was involved in the Nicola Bulley investigation, clearly hoping everyone has forgotten that his involvement consisted almost entirely of telling the press the police were wrong and that she hadn't fallen in the river.

Putting aside the fact that we don't know who he stayed with in the Airbnb - the police haven't said so that is another social media guess - how is that in any way relevant? The reports have been very clear that a Rolex watch was allegedly stolen. They don't just say "Rolex". They specifically say "Rolex watch".

Boom!

The private investigator has threatened to dox the men.

I think that is utterly despicable.

The Tenerife police do not think they are relevant, but the UK police will easily get in touch if they need to speak to them again.

They absolutely do not have to talk to ant private investigators, or go public if they do not want to.

What’s your point? The police said that a Rolex watch was stolen. Do you think they’re mistaken?

Who cares about a Rolex. The article speaks for itself.

Yes, he’s a drug dealer.
Doesn’t change the fact that a Rolex watch was stolen.

Just out of interest, how many people do you think go to 3 day raves who aren’t on drugs? You seem to think that the drugs angle is some kind of revelation?

I was a rep too.

In Tenerife.

None of the theories are implausible to me (🫣) but it also doesn't mean they are true.

A fall is most likely. Unless you've been to Masca (I have many times) it's hard to understand the landscape and how remote it is.

Fortunately I can, since both take WADA doping rules seriously and the eldest has to undertake random testing for work.

It's nuts isn't it? My ds had to use global dro last week just to check he couldn't take beconase as was travelling for an international comp 4 days later 😂

Could take

@Youdontevengohere Hrm there's a bit of a difference between a casual pill popper at a rave compared to a dealer who's just come out of a 9 year stretch.

Its up in the air isnt it?
Ive read alsorts..but there's a story , speculation going about that lucy is a well paid drug mule and brings others into it...jay was selling drugs at the venue for the big guys...he 'lost' the drug (rolex.. ecstasy )backpack which meant he owed them 30k...will leave it with you.

If it's anything like rural Gran Canaria I can imagine. No accident on holiday is ever surprising though is it, people just seem to leave common sense, due diligence and self preservation instincts at the airport!

The police have not said that this is the man concerned. He claims he is, but that doesn't mean he is telling the truth. However, the police have stated repeatedly that the allegedly stolen item is a Rolex watch. However much you want it to be drugs, that is not what has been reported.

The only boom is your theory imploding.

Has anyone seen the weird video doing the rounds on tiktok? Supposedly Jay and Lucy having a conversation on CCTV, you can't see them and the video is using subtitles which I think lead to you hearing things you wouldn't otherwise hear.

Yes I've seen it. It sounds like they are arguing and then she's crying saying sorry Jay. Something about a missing bag (probably drugs)
I've listened a few times and I personally think it's AI generated. I don't think it's real.

Who cares about a Rolex. The article speaks for itself.

Unless I am missing something the only new information in the article is that the guy from the Airbnb was a convicted drug dealer.
How is that so important?

It isn't really, as Jay was seen twice by a local after he left the AirBnB, plus had two conversations with friends before his battery died.

Whatever happened to him, happened after he'd left. Most likely he left the road voluntarily for some reason (and with no sleep and possible alcohol/drugs in his system he may not have been making good choices) and then misadventure.

Perhaps the Go Fund Me could be used in part to get the guy a new Rolex?
Sadly JS sounds pretty immoral.
