STORY: Spanish police said on Sunday they had ended the search for British teenager Jay Slater, who has been missing on the Canary island of Tenerife since June 17.

But they said the case is still open.

"There are several lines of investigation," a Civil Guard spokesperson told Reuters.

Slater, aged 19, was on holiday on the island when he went missing.

His phone was last traced to the Masca ravine in a remote national park in the north of the island.

He was last heard from when he called a friend to tell her he was thirsty, lost and had little battery left on his phone, British media reported.

Dozens of police officers, rescue teams and fire fighters have been looking since then in the steep valley, using dogs, drones and a helicopter.

On Saturday (June 29), experienced volunteers and members of the public joined rescue teams searching the rugged terrain.
