- Story Text: Spanish police said on Sunday (June 30) the search operation has ended for British teenager Jay Slater, who has been missing on the Canary island of Tenerife, but that the case is still open.
"The search operation is no longer active, but the case is still open and there are several lines of investigation," a Civil Guard spokeswoman told Reuters.
Slater, 19, went missing on June 17 and his phone was last traced to the Masca ravine in a remote national park on the Canary Islands archipelago.
Dozens of police officers, rescue teams and firefighters have been searching since Wednesday (June 19) in the steep valley located on the island's west coast, using dogs, drones and a helicopter.
Warren Slater, the teenager's father, on Monday (June 24) shared a blurry still picture from a security camera in the town of Santiago del Teide of a person that could be his son in the hope it would help with the search, British media reported.
