Concern for British holidaymaker missing in Tenerife for three days
A 31-year-old British tourist, Kris Finney from Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester, has reportedly been missing for three days while on holiday in Tenerife. Concerns for his safety have grown after he failed to make contact with family or friends since his arrival on the island last Thursday, 31st October.
Mr. Finney travelled to the popular holiday destination to meet friends, flying out on Thursday morning. He called his mother that afternoon to confirm his safe arrival but said that his phone battery was running low. This was the last direct contact his family received.
Despite planning to meet friends later that evening, Mr. Finney did not show up, and subsequent attempts to reach him have been unsuccessful, with his phone switched off and messages undeliverable.
Reports indicate that Mr. Finney was due to stay at Casa Natalia in Armeñime, located in Adeje in the south of Tenerife. The last confirmed sighting of him was near a McDonald’s restaurant in the resort of Playa de las Américas.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Mr. Finney’s aunt, Debbie, detailed the timeline of his arrival. “He was going for a week away and meeting up with a friend. He flew out on Thursday morning last week. He arrived on Thursday afternoon. His mum got a text at 4:00pm from him, and that was the last we heard from him.
According to some of his friends, they were speaking to him around 9:00pm that night,” she said. “Since then, nobody has heard anything from him. He was supposed to meet up with his friend who is staying in a different hotel and never showed.”
The family has contacted both the police in Tenerife and the UK Foreign Office for assistance. In efforts to widen the search, photos of Mr. Finney have been posted on the ‘Missing Persons Tenerife’ Facebook group, which has more than 10,000 members.
Mr. Finney is described as a white man, approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall, with short dark hair.
