I disagree, I dont think this died down, social media and the public are obsessed with the case and will always search for answers

So, really, whether the police are corrupt or not is largely irrelevant.

What we do know is that the family and friends are dealing with it all quite strangely. I'm pretty sure the spanish police will give up the search pretty soon, and then it will all be forgotten about. It doesn't grab the interest like Madeline did

Yes he was a young adult lad


Is he buried there?

Why is Brads mom in charge if a fb group and oart of the search and doing everything in her power to clear her sons name who has already flown home which is weird if you so called childhood best freind is missing.
The man who rented the air bnb was Lucy step dad

Why has his mom shown zero emotion and kept pushing the fact he was kidnapped with no proof at that time

Why do they need 30k but have not said what for? They are getting free food and accommodation in Spain.

Lucy and her step dad are known drugs mules in the area.
Was he even in the mountains to start? It seems suspicious that they have found no evidence or the dogs have been unable to find his scent anywhere or any blood from the leg injury he apparently had.

Why did his freinds allow him to go with strangers when he was clearly in no fit state to do so?

Lucy is freinds with Tom (who may I add is a pedo so please no sympathy) who ws attacked by a group Jay was involved in and he was in Tenerife at the time he
was missing.

Why are they not searching other places that they have been spottings of him.

Lucy started a gofund me last year for another man who went missing in the same area who was then found a week later beaten.

If he is mixed up in drugs than he is no longer in tenerife and is either being held hostage in Morocco or his body was dumped in the middle of the sea.

There was a boat that left the port near where he was apparently last seen at around the same time then turned its tracker off.

My gut feelings is it is all a scam to make money especially when his social media was logged into and im not buying the fact he told his mom all his passwords and you would need his phone to access it.

I also feel that he had nothing tk do with the missing drugs but is being blamed as an easy target.

Also a possibility its a revenge attack and I wouldn't entirely rule out being a victim of human trafficking

Whilst I am suspicious of this case I'm also suspicious of a lot of those claims above, especially the bolded ones. They seem like things that spread on social media through a series of Chinese whispers without actually being true

Only a small niche, people go missing in these places all the time it just so happens that this one grew Social Media and press legs. It won't be the current water cooler chatter in a couple of weeks, there'll be something new. You will of course get a few hardcore "truthers" who will attach themselves to this specific case. Maybe a Netflix doc in a few years to hype it all up again for a couple of months.

You only have to look on the insta and Facebook account to see they are freinds and have been at numerous events together,

And as for the gofund me the records are there for all of public to see

If he had decided to walk for a bit there is zero evidence to suggest he would deviate from the road so this whole "he could be in some ravine" thing seems too ridiculous

yep, it makes zero sense. He would be on the road. He could easily hitch a lift from a passing car

[Gusto Brunt]

He's either been secretly smuggled back into the UK, or he's been murdered and buried on the island.

Why would they bring him back into the UK? If alive he'll either be still in Tenerife or Morocco.

So he can spend the money that's been raised. Maybe he was hoping for more. I think it's frozen at £32,000.

Only a theory.

And I find it strange the only witness ti seeing him there was the woman he spoke to, there must have been loads of cars passing at that time

Can you start taking money out the Go Fund me account anytime and even if you took out say 10K the figure you and I see remains unaffected?

Yes so it only actually shows the amount raised and not any thats been taken, so they could have applied to withdraw everything and we won't ever know

Okay so what's the link to the gofundme for the previous guy who disappeared but then was found beaten up?

…the ‘sightings’ are getting a bit crazy …one of the latest being that there are several sightings by locals that Jay has been seen watching the Euro football matches in public…I mean, he hasn’t been in touch with family or friends for days and knows there are searches for him …but he’s watching football and living the life…?…no, the sightings are silly….

It's like sightings of Lord Lucan

[Crimson Dynamo]

I mean true crime and crime are the most popular topics of books, film and TV. So why people think cases like this wont have lots of people gripped and in full speculation mode is a really hot take
