British teen Jay Slater, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, has been missing in Tenerife since Monday.
The 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer travelled to the Canary Islands last week for the 'New Rave Generation' (NRG) music festival with pal Lucy Mae and another friend.
However things started to go wrong on Sunday night, when Jay chose to stay out with people they met that day instead of go back to the accommodation with his friends.
By Monday morning Jay had called Lucy in a panic to say he had attempted to hike back having missed the bus, but was now lost and in desperate need of water.
He has not been heard from since.
Below is a full timeline of his known movements since Sunday.
