Jay Slater LIVE: Major search update as hunt for missing teen in Tenerife continues | World | News

Rachel Harg, reported to be the mother of Jay’s best friend and admin of the Find Jay Slater Facebook group, has expressed heartbreak over cruel online trolling.

She shared a screenshot from a video falsely claiming she was partying on a boat instead of searching for the missing teen.

Ms Harg wrote in response: “This is another horrible lie about myself. Firstly, this isn’t me. I took the video on my last holiday on a boat trip. The lady in this video I don’t know. It was just me videoing the trip I was on with my family”.

The post, first reported by the Manchester Evening News, continued: “Secondly, this was when I went to Turkey in April. Someone stole [the clip] and [is] saying [I] am in Tenerife partying.

“I am here looking for my son’s best friend not partying if anyone did see this”.

She concluded her post saying: “Absolutely heartbroken. It was a previous holiday”.
