Police Call Off Search for Missing Jay Slater | This Morning

Maybe if family and friends told true from day 1 he might have been found 🤔 good or bad news

Hats off to Paul for helping 😊

We can’t expect them to continue to search. How long would the uk search for a Spaniard in the highlands I wonder

If my son went missing in the Arctic I'd still be there going through every inch of ice!! Someings not right here 🤔

Paul is spot on in everything he says. If Jay strayed off a path, finding him will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, in extremely difficult terrain to search. He told his friend he had cut his leg in a cactus, so that suggests he did indeed go off path and he may never be found.

Called it off! There are more sensible lost children lost anywhere who have been kidnapped. This is a responsible young man. He is not a child anymore. 48 hours to 2 weeks. Recovery and Investigation is down to the family, friends and the public gofund money. I could understand if it is under 18 years old.

Any reasonable person understands that two weeks of searching is more than enough. The Garda can’t continue forever. It is just an unfortunate situation - and such things happen in life.

It's interesting seeing the reactions to these missing person's cases. With Michael Mosley, there was widespread concern, a great search followed by an outpouring of public grief, he was a man who will be remembered very fondly by many due to his work as a public doctor, his kind demeanor and goodness as a married family man. But with Jay Slater, once people found out about his past the public perception rapidly turned from him being a likeable and relatable youth who got lost after a night out in a foriegn country, to this teenage antisocial hoodlum with a violent criminal past, a blight on his local community (and who never properly repented for his actions) and who travelled to another country to rave, take drugs and possibly commit other crimes on their turf. And so angered are people by this (on both sides!), that the reaction by many to the search being called off so early can pretty much be summed up as "Good riddance", with many people being more sympathetic to the locals put through this drama than the family who've lost a son. And people distrust and dislike the missing mans family not just because of the mindset that to produce such an individual he must have been raised by amoral people, but various actions on their part have worsened the lack of trust, i.e. the friend not revealing potentially crucial information until almost 2 weeks afterwards, to the family not actively searching for him themselves (and apparently being rude to locals). They say that all human life is equal, but I think that nobody actually views it that way in real life, with how someone choosing to conduct their life very much affecting others perception not just of their value to society, but as a human being (full stop). I hope that the body is found soon (and lets face it, if he did get lost in the wilderness then we probably are looking at a body and not a survivor at this point) and that this all turns out to be a tragic accident rather than something far more sketchy which happened because of the man's actions (or his friends or families actions), because not only would the latter cement their reputation as terrible no-good people potentially for the rest of their lives (which will also be a burden & a curse that their future children may have to carry & undo too), but also harm the reputation of British tourists as a whole. This is all a very sobering lesson that if you want people to value your life, then you need live like a decent human being.

They are not mentioning that this is a HUGE pay day for Down The Rapids as he's made well over 50K on his Tik Tok from being out there. The whole thing is sus.

Why did he go 'off road' He could of flagged someone down if he stuck to the road walking, strange one ? Gaz UK.

Something don't ring true with this case

Wouldn't the bus have passed him multiple times during that 11 hours 😂

The family are enjoying an all expenses paid holiday with friends,something VERY dodgey going on

Just reminds me of the Nicola Bulley case. A complete mystery is an understatement. Hope he gets found and his family gets the closure they fully need and deserve

so the police have stopped the search in the hills, they are now searching the bars for someone living it up on 36k drinking money

When they asked for volunteers very few turned up not even the family! How do they expect the authorities to search if the family didnt !!!

Big respect to Paul. Top guy!

Something just doesnt add up, the mother headed for the nearest nail bar after she got off the plane, she was photographed going in .

They can’t find him because he’s not there and the police know it

just because the search has stopped doesn't mean they are not still investigating
