Full timeline of Jay Slater's mystery disappearance and island wide search as Spanish police END hunt for missing Brit after nearly two weeks
British teen Jay Slater, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, has been missing in Tenerife since June 17.
The 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer travelled to the Canary Islands for the 'New Rave Generation' (NRG) music festival with pal Lucy Mae Law and another friend.
However things started to go wrong on the night of Sunday 16 June, when Jay chose to stay out with people they met that day instead of go back to the accommodation with his friends.
By Monday morning Jay had called Lucy in a panic to say he had attempted to hike back having missed the bus, but was now lost and in desperate need of water.
He has not been heard from since.
Below is a full timeline of his known movements since that Sunday.

Lucy Mae said of Jay: 'He's ended up out in the middle of nowhere. Jay was obviously thinking he would be able to get home from there... then in the morning he's set off walking, using his Maps on his phone and ended up in the middle of mountains with nothing around'

Tuesday evening
The search is focused on the Masca hamlet, in the municipality of Buenavista del Norte.
A Civil Guard spokesperson said that mountain rescue teams and helicopters have been deployed in the search to find missing Jay.
A local resident, living in Tenerife, has printed out missing posters to put up around Adeje.
June 23
Jay's father Warren, 58, and 24-year-old brother Zak visit the spot near Masca where his phone last pinged - joined by friends helping join the search operation.
Choking back tears Warren, wearing a bucket hat, sunglasses and black t shirt, said: 'He's my son. I just want him back.'
The pair hugged and looked on as mountain rescue teams and civil protection units with high-powered binoculars scanned the cactus strewn ravine looking for clues.
June 26
The search took a fresh twist when Emilio Jose Navarro, the mayor of Santiago del Teide in Tenerife, said Spanish police were probing claims that Jay may have been spotted watching Euro 2024 matches.
He suggested investigators had spoken to several witnesses claiming to have seen the teenager watching the football tournament 'on the coast'.
June 29
Investigators confirm that two mystery British men who invited Jay back to their Airbnb hours after he went missing have been identified and spoken to.
Witnesses say they were seen drinking Hennessey cognac in bars and nightclubs in the party resort of Playa de las Americas during the NRG festival.
They are known to have driven Jay back to their £40-a-night two-bedroom apartment, located just outside the village of Masca.
But Cipriano Martin, head of the Civil Guard's Greim mountain rescue unit, said: 'Those men have been spoken to and they don't have any relevance whatsoever for the case.'
June 30
Spanish police announce they are ending their search for Jay Slater after almost a fortnight of rescue efforts fail to find him.
The Civil Guardia had launched one final push the previous day and appealed for volunteers to help but just six people turned up to join 24 mountain rescue and fire teams in the remote mountainous area of Masca.
A spokesperson for Tenerife police said: 'The search is now over but the investigation remains open.'
The spokesperson refused to elaborate on whether it was now a criminal investigation.
The decision to end the search after almost two weeks was taken at a senior level following a meeting between investigators and mountain rescue teams at the island's HQ in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
