Jay Slater’s father has voiced his frustration as the search for his 19-year-old son enters a fourth week.

It is now three weeks exactly since the teenager vanished in Tenerife’s Rural de Teno park on Monday 17 June.

The case has captured the attention of the nation, with over £50,000 being donated to the 19-year-old’s family, who have flown out to continue searching for him - despite authorities ending the official search a week ago.

His mother, Debbie Duncan, said the family has been “overwhelmed” by the support as she issued an update on the GoFundMe.

She said local volunteer groups had offered to continue searching and that they are also in contact with “experienced groups” who have offered assistance.

That included Jay’s father, Warren Slater, who carried out a search with the teenager’s uncle and brother, close to the last location Jay’s phone “pinged” on Saturday.

But he has voiced his concern over the theories over his son’s disapperance, and the local police response. He told MailOnline: “Everything stinks. It’s just a riddle and I don’t know the outcome.”

He also spoke of his frustration over a woman at a restaurant who he said last saw his son walking the wrong way before he vanished.

‘It’s just us’ Jay Slater’s father calls for Interpol to take over search for son

Jay Slater’s father has called for Interpol to be brought to Tenerife more than a week after the Spanish Police search for the apprentice bricklayer ended on June 30.

Warren told MailOnline: “We need to, as a full family, do a proper press conference and ask the British authorities to help. He’s a British citizen. Get Interpol involved.

“It’s just us. I haven’t got a team. We need a team to come over here and find out for us what the police are doing and what we need to do.

“Our hands are tied over here, we need experts. How long can you stay here for?

“It’ll take an army 10 years to cover all this. I’d employ a team of Gurkhas.”

Pictured: Brit who vanished off coast of Tenerife still never found

Ricardo Scott Santana vanished at around 11.30am on Saturday June 15 2019 near Palm Mar, just a few miles from the well-known holiday resort of Los Cristianos where Jay Slater was staying.

Search teams in Tenerife searched looking for the 23-year-old, who disappeared from while out on a jet ski.

The missing Briton was wearing red shorts and it is thought he may have jumped into the sea off his jet ski to take a dip in the water.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said at the time: ‘We are providing support to the friends and family of a British man who has been reported missing in Tenerife, Spain. We are in contact with local authorities.’

But sick trolls were waiting for Callum Fahim as he touched down in the capital on Thursday after tracking his flight number from his livestreams online.

Mr Fahim said the situation had become “horrific” after he received a terrifying cryptic warning on social media, which read: “Be careful people are going to find you at the airport take extra care. He said he would love to get hold of you.”

Jay Slater’s family ‘not going anywhere’ as they continue search in ‘treacherous gorge’

Jay Slater’s family have continued their search for the missing teenager in a ‘treacherous’ gorge as they vow to remain in Tenerife.

Spanish authorities culled their search last Sunday after 13 days of searching for the apprentice bricklayer in the Rural de Teno park.

However, his family and a few volunteers have remained on the island as they continue to scour near the last location Jay’s phone was tracked to.

Jay’s uncle, father and brother were joined by local hiker Juan Garcia on Saturday who said the area was a “labyrinth” and that the operation was “like looking for a needle in a haystack”.

Asked how the family are coping, Jay’s uncle told SkyNews: “It’s just torture.”

ICYMI: Jay Slater’s family move search back to Tenerife town

The 19-year-old’s father Warren Slater, 58, and brother Zak Slater, 23, were seen scanning the small, mountain village of Santiago del Teide on Monday, as the hunt on the Spanish island entered its fourth week.

The official search has now been called off, with Warren Slater criticising local police and residents alike for not doing more to help his son, an apprentice bricklayer from Lancashire.

On Saturday, Warren, Zak and Jay’s mother, Debbie Duncan, took part in an eight-hour search in a remote valley in the north of Tenerife, where Jay’s phone last pinged on 17 June.

Women’s clothes amongst ‘eerie signs of signs of life’ found at ravine near Jay Slater search

“Eerie signs of life” have been spotted near the ravine near where Jay Slater went missing in Tenerife.

When the apprentice bricklayer went missing on the morning of June 17, a huge search was launched in the remote Rural de Teno national park.

After embarking on an 11-hour hike back to his accommodation, the 19-year-old’s phone last location was recorded near a ravine in the challenging terrain.

On Thursday, Mail+ reporters visited the ravine and found: “Shoelaces tied with twigs to form haunting symbols like something out of a horror film, empty water bottles, and — most strange of all — a set of clean women’s clothes.”

“My beautiful son Jay is still missing and believe me this is no holiday,” Debbie Duncan wrote on official Jay Slater Missing Facebook group, as online trolls took shot at the family, undermining the search efforts.

“For those of you who are more concerned around the Gofundme page I can assure you that up to now it has not been used and our stay up to now has been financed by ourselves,” she said about £52,000 raised for him.

Jay’s father vents his frustration

More has emerged from Jay Salter’s father, Warren’s interview with MailOnline, in which vented his frustration at the police investigation.

The Guardia Civil has wound back its search but welcomed any search and rescue teams to the island to conduct their own operations, so long as they request permission to do so.

But Warren is frustrated at the lack of help. He said: “We’re going round and round in circles. The Spanish police, you can’t go screaming and shouting at them because they don’t do anything.

“If you start screaming and shouting they won’t do anything even more. If they want to go and search a house, they have to go to court first.”

It has now been three weeks since Jay Slater went missing on 17 June, after telling a friend he had got lost in mountains on the island of Tenerife.

The 19-year-old had travelled to the Spanish island on 13 June to attend the NRG music festival with two friends before his disappearance.

After attending one of the events on 16 June, Jay went to an AirBnB in Parque Rural de Teno Buenavista del Norte, a remote area to the north of the island, known for its rugged and sparse terrain.

At around 8.15am, Mr Slater called his friend Lucy Law, who had been at the festival with him, to tell her he had missed his bus and was planning to make the 11-hour walk back to his accommodation.

He told her he was dehydrated, had cut his leg on a cactus, was unsure of his location, and had hardly any phone battery to use a maps app. This was the last time the teenager’s family and friends heard from him.
