I can see how you might think that but you only need to look at Micheal Mosely whose body was in the open only a few yards from an establishment and still no one saw it to see how easy it is to miss something, the terrain in the area of Tenerife would make it almost impossible to find someone if you only have the vaguest idea of where to look
This is spot on. lots of people are asking questions as if this was a sleepover. Chances are by 7-8am, nobody had slept yet. Things start to get uncomfortable when the sun comes up and the peak of the uppers (mdma, cocaine etc) wears off. I've experienced this myself many times, just never never in a strange country where the climate and terrain can kill you. If it hadn't been 3 days, i'd be inclined to think the party is still going on somewhere in a villa with the curtains closed.
So far the information is very difficult to verify, but it seems the location of the bus stop is here (Google Maps Link). This seems to be correct based off one of his Snapchat posts (also see attached & compared to Google Street View). The front garden has been changed since street view was photographed. But you can see the distinctive peak in the background, the agricultural soil terraces and the white car, are all the same.
Very true but then that makes it even less likely he's 'left quietly'. The people who were in the apartment have said he's left to get a bus, so they must have been awake to know that. If he went there early hours of the morning it's very likely none had slept by then.
Whether the police have more information than is out in the public domain we don’t know- but with Michael Mosley there were sightings and although it took too long to locate him, the search areas were evidence based. The road that JS walked down had 24 hour webcam footage, I’m surprised they haven’t confirmed he did or didn’t get that far, further down the road is Hilda’s viewpoint a cafe which again would most likely have CCTV. The alleged apartment was an air bnb which I’m guessing will quite possibly have had CCTV as it was in a remote area and often unoccupied which would give a clearer picture- but there has been nothing. Reading about where Lucy and other people have been to search it seems quite uncertain as to where to look as well. New papers would happily pay out for those images, so why is there absolutely no confirmed sightings anywhere- the view of the road webcam being the most obvious as if he’s not seen on there between 7.30 and 8.50 then they are not even close to looking in the right location, as most of the searches have been the path leading away from that lay-by.
Which then raises the question of where to search- at the minimum we normally have a clear indication of where they are focusing a search and ruling out areas that have been searched.
This makes a lot of sense to me. What I can’t understand though is his thought to keep going rather than turn back to the road. I think that’s what I’d do but then again he may not have been thinking rationally, lack of sleep and maybe still under the influence.
That’s the thing that I don’t understand as well. I’ve only had a quick look at the area on Google Maps so not sure how easy it is to get completely lost away from the main roads but I think the majority of people would go back the way they came (or the way they think it is, can be hard if you're disorientated) if they don’t think they’re going the right way.
I wonder if he thought there might be more shade off the road.

I agree.
I don’t know if this is a stupid question but wouldn’t the dogs have also picked up blood from his leg? I suppose it depends how large his cut was too.
I believe there was a video shared of a couple who had walked and searched where his last ping was. It’s on the FB group and they got to almost a dead end on one of the paths. I don’t know if we can share it here?
I agree.
