The search for a 19-year-old from England who went missing on Tenerife in the Canary Islands is in full force as it enters its tenth day.
Jay Slater from Lancashire was reported missing on June 17.
Friends on vacation with the teen said they last heard from him around 8:30 a.m. that day.
Slater told them that he planned to walk back to where they were staying after missing a bus. The journey would take him about 11 hours by foot.
Authorities are currently focused on Masca, a mountainous area on the western tip of the island where Slater is believed to have last been seen, Sky News reported.
