The police said 6 volunteer People turned up to help in the search today

The father has complained that none of them were English. Four Spaniards and two Germans I think.

Were they eating 'that foreign muck' while supposed to be searching?

That's not true, he said he was disappointed that not many brits had volunteered to help.

“Massive search” turns up nothing, which I think will lead to the local police calling it a day - I’.

Done.

Which puts a completely different slant on it, and far more likely.

There will be a channel 5 hour long special within the month, I guarantee it.

And it will paint him as an angel who fell down a cliff and won't mention anything bad about him.

Foreign nationals also work. There are a lot of retired British people in Tenerife.

The initial post read like the father was being xenophobic to those that had volunteered.

Be interesting to see what happens next on this one. Considering other missing people / little girls/ women falling into rivers etc…

There’s not much more they can do. They’ve followed the playbook, starting from the last known (or presumed) location and working from there. They’re not going to be able to commit unlimited resources to finding a body. Unless Jay is hiding / kidnapped / has fled, he’s not going to be alive now; unless there’s evidence of kidnapping, there’s nothing to go on. As regards hiding or fleeing, neither of those are offences; adults are allowed to go to ground if they wish.

As I know all too well, beyond a certain point it is no longer about grid searching and just about luck. Michael Mosley is a great example of that. Observers believe finding a body in the outdoors is easy. It isn’t. The scale of the problem is almost-unimaginable - unless you search every nook & cranny, you could “cover” an area and still miss them.

By comparison, finding somebody “on the run” is much easier - they need food, water and (potentially) means of transport, all of which involve coming into contact with other people (or risking same).

I think the authorities hoped they’d get a huge turnout from their “mass search” call. And they needed it. 100 people might have covered a bit of ground in a week; a dozen for a day is a largely token gesture.

Whatever the circumstances, I feel strongly for his parents; nobody should lose a child like this.

Are you serious! You’re asking if the police can access phone records?

This thread is fking mental.

And there I was thinking the sarcasm was visible from space. By a blind man.

The short answer is, I believe, not all of them. Phone? Surely. Snapchat / WhatsApp / FaceTime? I don’t know.

As I’ve discovered with my sister, there doesn’t appear to be after-the-event tracking of phones easily available, in case it was that sort of record being thought of.

As this happened in Tenerife would the U.K. police do any investigation at home? As in questioning his pal Lucy and the 2 guys from the air b n b who flew back to the U.K.?

If they did how would that get instigated as no crime has been committed in the U.K. ?

What was the "McCann" crime that was committed in the UK? There is precidence for investigating crimes that affect Britons, but were not committed in the UK.

It is somewhat misleading. Apparently the authorities did NOT want a bunch of holiday makers turning up to search.
Guardia Civil said, "To be clear, they are not asking members of the public, but people from volunteer associations or qualified who are experts in the rugged terrain. The area is a rugged, rocky area, full of slopes and with a multitude of ravines, paths and roads."

I agree with them. For my sister likewise, we reckoned for every 6 random volunteers we’d have 1 new casualty to deal with.
