Airbnb where Jay Slater slept, changes his name if the local population wants to ‘continue’

Jay Slater, 19, remained in the Airbnb – then called Casa Abuela Tina – before he disappears in the mountains near the remote village of Masca in Tenerife, where his body was found 28 days later

The Airbnb where Jay Slater slept short before he was missing was renamed an attempt to distance the tragic death of the teenager.

The student bricklayer, 19, stayed within the holidays before he left on foot and disappeared in Bergen before his body was finally discovered after 28 days last summer. Speaking from a window above, a man, who was supposed to be the owner of the property, that he could not speak English. When asked if he could come down to speak, he answered ‘no’ and closed the window. A local who did not give their name told us: “What happened was very sad, but everyone here just wants to go on.”

The real estate with two beds, in the remote village of Masca, was called Casa Abuela Tina at the time of Jay’s disappearance. It is now christened Casa El Turron, which is now decorated with a piece of wood attached to the outside wall.

In the weeks after Jay’s disappearance, the building became a grim tourist attraction with creepy British tourists who wanted to see the place where he was last seen alive. Jay, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancs, disappeared shortly after the stay there on June 17 last year.

He had partyed in Papagayo Nightclub in Playa de las Americas, before he left with two British men, who drove him for 20 miles to the £ 40-per night ownership. Jay later shared a last Snapchat of the Airbnb and had his hand hold with a cigarette while he was in the doorway at 7.30 am.

When he tried to walk back to his own accommodation in the south of the island – which would last about 11 hours – the next morning he made video and phone calls to close Friends Brad Hargreaves and Lucy Law, who had been on vacation with him.

In what is supposed to have been his last phone call at 8.30 am, Jay told Lucy, 18, he had missed a bus, his telephone battery was 1% and he had cut his leg on a cactus. In an earlier video call, Brad, 19, witnessed by Jay, some rocks left while he tried to walk through Parque Rural de Teno Nature Reserve to reach their apartment in Los Cristianos.

The disappearance of Jay Grip Groot -Britain for almost a month, which led to wild speculation and conspiracy theories on social media, including that he was murdered by gangsters, kidnapped, collected the island on a boat and even that he hid after the debt.

Rumors also raged after it was claimed that Jay had stolen a Rolex watch of £ 12,000 shortly before his disappearance and that he was afraid when he left the rental apartment, rented by convicted drug dealer Ayub Qassim and a friend who ruled the police were “irrelevant” for their investigation.
