Jay, an apprentice bricklayer from Lancashire, flew to the holiday island with two friends for the NRG festival.

He went to the wrap party on Sunday with pals Lucy and Brad, but left with two men he met that day and headed to their accommodation.

Jay then phoned his friend Lucy Law on Monday to tell her he was stranded in the “middle of nowhere”.

The British teenager has not been heard from or seen since, with search teams desperately hunting in the mountainous region of northern Tenerife.

On Friday, rescue teams focused their efforts around Masca Ravine, located 2,000 feet above sea level, near Jay’s last known location: the desolate Teno Nature Reserve.

The explosive new image – which shows Jay splashing around on a crowded dance floor – comes after footage of him from the same night.

The video showed him walking around the club with sunglasses on his head while music blared.

Rescue efforts on Friday focused on an area known locally as the “badlands.”

Footage from the scene shows police, firefighters, volunteers and sniffer dogs scanning the desolate Teno Nature Reserve, Jay’s last known location.

Residents and experts have warned of dangerous conditions in the area: where the air is “thin,” temperatures change quickly and mountains drop abruptly to the water below.

Jay’s mother Debbie expressed fears something “untoward” had happened to her son after an explosive new sighting was passed to cops on Saturday.

Speaking from Tenerife, the concerned mother said her son could have been seen with two men around ten hours after he was last seen on Monday morning.

She revealed that a witness went to the police and claimed to have seen Jay sitting on a bench with the two men 3.5 miles away in Santiago del Teide.

Debbie told Mail Online: “Someone came forward to say they saw someone they thought was Jay, walking back down the road, sitting on a bench.

“He was with two men who looked a little worse for wear, and they were near a church, this guy came forward and told the police and they are investigating.

“We don’t know for sure if it was Jay, but it’s a start.”

Cops are yet to confirm the new sighting of the missing teen.

Debbie, 55, has been in Tenerife since Tuesday to take part in a massive police search for her 19-year-old son.

Jay’s mother Debbie today criticized the inquest into her son’s disappearance for failing to allow British cops to contribute.

On Friday, Lancashire Police offered to help Spain’s Guardia Civil in their efforts to find the teenager.

But local police rejected the offer and insisted they had the “resources” needed to find him.

The mother also told the Guardian she spent eight hours in a police station as they revealed plans to step up rescue efforts.

Former Met Police officer Peter Bleksley told The Sun on Sunday: “Tenerife Police will endeavor to maintain the missing person narrative.

“Policing is all about control. We have seen the resources deployed. With another force involved, this leads to even more speculation. »
