Mother of teenager missing in Tenerife says police have ‘stepped up’ search

Debbie Duncan, mother of Jay Slater, says it is right that search for 19-year-old should be intensified

The mother of Jay Slater, who is missing in Tenerife, has said she believes Spanish police have intensified their search for the 19-year-old, six days after he disappeared.

Debbie Duncan told the Guardian she spent eight hours in a police station on Friday as police outlined their detailed plans to search for the missing apprentice bricklayer from Lancashire. I think it's been stepped up," she said, which she described as too right".
