A FORMER Met detective claims he has uncovered a bombshell new clue in the case of missing Brit teen Jay Slater.
Mark Williams-Thomas – who worked on the Madeleine McCann case – said he has passed on a “significant new piece of information” to Spanish police.

Ex-cop Mark, who is on the ground in Tenerife, has been investigating Jay’s disappearance in Tenerife.
He has been in close contact with a number of witnesses including Jay’s family and friends, and has been updating British and Spanish cops on his findings.
Mark was the first to share an initial description of the two men Jay left a rave with in the hours before he vanished.
The Brit teen stayed at their Airbnb for several hours on June 17 before he disappeared.
Mark has since revealed exactly what happened between them in the early hours of that morning before he vanished.
He claims that the apprentice bricklayer left the accommodation “scared” before embarking on an 11-hour trek back to his hotel on the south of the island.
Today in a video update shared to X, Mark revealed: “We know now that Jay took certain actions while at the rental because he was clearly worried about his own safety.
“This was shortly before he decided to leave.
“In the last few days, I have received a significant new piece of information which I’ve shared with both the British and Spanish police.
“This provides some clarity as to why Jay left in a hurry and did not want to return to the rental even though his phone was about to go flat.”
The ex-cop wouldn’t reveal more details about the new information in his update.
Mark has been sharing updates on his investigation via X, revealing how he believes the teen’s case has links to an “established criminal network with links to drugs, violent crime and thefts”.
