A heartbroken Debbie Duncan said she is living a nightmare and “breaking down in living hell” as no signs of missing Jay has yet been found.
She told MailOnline: “My life is a living hell at the minute, we are a normal family from Lancashire, I’m breaking down, I’m losing my mind here.
“I can’t even bear the thought of my life carrying on without Jay, I just can’t, he was my everything, he was my sidekick.”
Jay, 19, was last seen on June 17 walking uphill in the remote village on the northwest of the island.
He had gone back to an Airbnb in the desolate park with two men after a night of partying.
In the morning, he attempted the 11-hour walk back to his own accommodation after missing the bus.
Apprentice bricklayer Jay made a frantic final call to friend Lucy Law to say he was lost.
His phone pinged for the final time shortly before 9am that morning in the rocky terrain.
He has not been seen or heard from since – and Spanish cops called off the official search almost two weeks ago.
Jay’s family and friends, plus some volunteers, have since taken it upon themselves to scour unforgiving terrain for Jay.
After weeks of endless searching from Spanish cops, Jay’s family and volunteers no trace of the teen has been found with many feeling the hunt was nearing an end.
But cops are said to be remaining hopeful that many of the questions and puzzles surrounding Jay will be cleared up soon.
A heartbroken Debbie, who has been in Tenerife since Jay disappeared, added: “Warren and Jay’s brother have been up there, and it worried me I’ve told them not to do ‘owt stupid as it’s dangerous up there, and I’ve said not be going down any paths.
“I can’t bring myself to go there, I just don’t think my brain would cope, I would collapse.”
The mum also blasted wild conspiracy theories around Jay’s disappearance as “nonsense” and said they have been distracting the family from searching for the missing teen.
Debbie has previously called on the Spanish police to do more in the operations after they didn’t allow cops from the UK to fly out and join in the search.
