- Jay Slater's mother, Debbie Duncan, has called for new regulations to be introduced to curb the spread of misinformation about missing people online.
- She stated that online conspiracy theorists had 'completely dehumanised' her son with 'shocking' theories following his disappearance in Tenerife last year.
- Jay, 19, went missing in the treacherous mountains of Park Rural de Teno in June 2024 and was found dead 29 days later from a traumatic brain injury sustained in a fall.
- Despite a coroner's ruling, online content creators continue to spread theories, including claims he faked his death or was kidnapped, even 15 months after his passing.
- Duncan hopes a new Channel 4 documentary, 'The Disappearance of Jay Slater,' airing on 28 September, will help to 'shut down the armchair detectives' and highlight the family's ordeal.
