The videos, posted by Warren, quickly went viral, with many viewers speculating that he may still have unanswered questions about the 19-year-old's disappearance.

The account includes a photo montage set to rave music, featuring images of Jay and the remote area of Macsa, Tenerife, where he was last seen.

Jay, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, travelled to the Canary Islands for a weekend music festival with two friends when he disappeared late on the night of June 16.

They also travelled to Tenerife to help with the hunt.

He said that the period since his son had gone missing had been "a living hell".
