JAY SLATER UPDATE Ex-Madeleine McCann investigator to give major update on Jay Slater amid ‘speculation’ over case

It comes as the family deployed a private search team for another probe

AN INVESTIGATOR who once probed the Madeleine McCann case has promised to address Jay Slater speculation in a major update.

Former detective Mark Williams-Thomas joined Jay's family in Tenerife when the local cops' search for the missing teen was dragging on.

Jay's body was tragically found on Monday at the bottom of a treacherous ravine in mountainous Masca.

The discovery came after the young Lancashire lad was last seen on June 17, partying on with two people he met at a music festival on the island.

But speculation has continued to swirl with questions over the case remaining unanswered.

Spanish cops searched a huge area only to find the lifeless 19-year-old in close proximity to where his phone last pinged - nearly a month after the disappearance.

It's sparked questions, including from heartbroken mum Debbie, about how the body was missed in the initial stages of the search.

Local authorities also refrained from revealing the exact location they spotted the body, leaving family members keen for more answers.

In a post to X, Williams-Thomas on Friday said he would broadcast his thoughts "in due course".

He said: "Being asked to do a video to address some of the speculation that continues to circle around the very sad case of Jay Slater.

I will do a video in due course when the time is right.

"But at this stage we are just making sure all the actions of the investigation are fully completed as far as we can, before doing so."

Jay's devastated family on Thursday deployed a private search team to figure out the exact location the body was found.

A Dutch search team was sent into the perilous ravine to kick-start their own investigation.
