Jay Slater #14

[Brummiebird]

Half expecting Lucy to appear on the video link wearing a Rolex given how mental this whole saga has been.

If its true they can't find the key witness's, it's hardly a suprise is it? The Police have talked to them and that's that! Why would they know want to step up and say more? It's clear as day they were all involved in illegal activity, especially the guys that are already convicted dealers. Its no suprise that robbing expensive watches will piss people off, to then go bragging about shows what a guy he was. They were all off their tits and involved in dodgy stuff. They have said the autopsy says he died from a fall from height. If there is more to it, don't expect any of these plonkers to discuss it any further

The hiker who got found who didn’t want to be found was one of my favourite parts and also the Facebook page in the early days before folk started posting really stupid stuff to take the p. This thread though it really is and was comedy gold though I feel bad for saying that .

"As soon as they said he'd gone up into the mountains and he'd gone missing, I knew something was wrong." - Jay's Uncle.

Im not on there but I’m coming as Jay’s dads Gary Glitter tattoo.

This thread really is the gift that keeps on giving. I forgot about this

A year today since Jay disappeared, I hope he is at peace and his family will one day know the truth behind what happened.

These threads got us all through some baffling times and we became closer, united in the truly confusing tales from Tenerife!

Rest with the angles Jay #forever19

p.s Does anyone want to buy a Rolex?

 

[SkinkaareFan]

I didn't even know he had a real name, he was always just DTR or other less favourable pet names

Slenderman is my favourite name for him

 

[GlitterFluff]

Oh, Jay. What a comedic legacy you have left behind

 

[charlied0106]

We are so going to need a new thread

If we could get to "Jay Slater #Forever19" my life would be made

 

[pommynoir]

What were they saying, assuming they knew him?

Sorry I forgot to add the part where I was at a festival. I don’t really remember, I think I was the one talking the most

 

[Mrsp2806]

Just watched this. He seemed like a carefree 19 year old lad, seems quite likeable, enjoying his life but unfortunately decisions that night cost him his life. I’ve been in Tenerife and it’s wild with drugs and dodgy looking characters. In fact, I actually witnessed a serious car accident which turned into a hit & run due to drugs I don’t think I’d want my 16 year old going there.
I do feel for the family, especially as he was a very much wanted child ( ivf)
Something really didn’t sit right with me was filming the pathlogy and the funeral. Just why?
I do get it was a media circus and too many arm chair dectectives. Remember Nicola Bulley?
Fair play to Debbie trying to do something regarding the socials but it’s losing a battle. It won’t be long until there’s another high profile missing person and queue the tik tok detectives.

 

[Brummiebird]

Could the fall have been so turbulent his body was shaken out of his clothes? I know I sound like someone suggesting an eagle scooped him up and flew off with him but I am seriously pondering.

You might be on to something there. I once saw a cartoon where the character stripped off mid fall and tried to use their pants as a parachute.

 

[CrackingOwlSanctuary]

He deserves his place on this

Someone called it a Jay Plater on facebook and it's got me in stitches

 

[whatisityoucan'tface]

Just watched the documentary. At the moment, there's a lot of rhetoric about mainstream media becoming less relevant and dying off as it is outpaced by social media. These sorts of documentaries clap back at that idea by showing that it can get access to authority - the eminent pathologist, the coroner, the police etc. Showing some of the brutal detail of the autopsy was part of that - 'look we were THERE. Not like you internet numpties'.

Just my Saturday evening thoughts It was touching to see his mum packed after sun for him - made me think of all the thousands of little acts of care we do for our kids to try to keep them safe.

 

[StonedCyclist]

Jay sounds like was a right pain in the arse ..that friend that always goes too far.
I reckon they were probably still annoyed at him for giving them the run around the night before, to then find out after very little sleep that he's gone missing?!
Probably thinking what's the fucking muppet done now'
And then the rest of it . .

 

[lilykestrel]

Some other miscellaneous DTR trivia while I'm at it
- for reasons nobody has ever been able to work out, Dr Emily MacDonagh (the wife of Peter Andre) mods his TikTok lives
- he's been bopping about in a Jil Sander knock-off top (Jil Sndaer)
- while he was in India he drank some river water and got the shits
- he said he was climbing mountains in Thailand but he was outside his hotel

 

[StonedCyclist]

Ah fuck! I'm back down the Jay Slater wormhole. Aaaaaaaaah

 

[KatLit]

I love you

I'm the Rolex, and I'm still missing!!!!!

 

[GlitterFluff]

I love that this thread continues to have mini resurgences!
