British man Kris Finney not heard from in three days missing in Tenerife after phone dies
Kris Finney, 31, flew out to the Spanish island last Thursday to meet up with his friend who was also on holiday - but has not been in touch with his family for more than three days
by Paige Ingram, James Holt · The MirrorA man has mysteriously vanished in Tenerife, with his family not having heard from him for over three days. Kris Finney, 31, jetted off to the Spanish island last Thursday morning to join a mate who was also holidaying there.
He rang his mum that afternoon to say he'd landed but warned his phone was about to die, according to his auntie Debbie. Since then, his family and friends have been unable to reach him, with his mobile switched off and calls and messages failing to get through.
The electrician from Ramsbottom in Greater Manchester, who works across Lancashire and Manchester, had planned to meet up with a friend on the island, but never made contact or showed up. He's described as a white man, about 5ft 7ins tall, with short dark hair.

His auntie, Debbie Kenyon, revealed that Kris last spoke to his mates around 9pm last Thursday and was last known to be at the Playa de las Americas resort on the island, near the McDonald's. It's believed he was staying at Casa Natalia, in the Armeñime area.
Photos of Kris and details of his last known location have been posted on the Missing Persons Tenerife Facebook group, which boasts over 10,000 members, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Debbie told the M. E.N about the distressing situation: "He was going for a week away and meeting up with his friend. He flew out on Thursday morning last week. He arrived on Thursday afternoon. His mum got a text at 4pm from him, and that was the last we heard from him. According to some of his friends, they were speaking to him around 9pm that night.
"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. We have phoned and sent texts that haven't delivered. It was last night that we got the call from one of his friends saying nobody had heard from him for days. We've been trying to get hold of him and haven't been able to - it's not like Kris.
"He may sometimes not contact you for 12 to 18 hours but then he always reaches out. There was nothing we could do at that time of night.
"Today we have found out the details about where he was staying and have been contacting police in Tenerife and also our local police. The Foreign Office have all the details. They have already rang his friend as part of enquiries and spoken to him and contacted his mum again."
Manchester Evening News has reached out to both The Foreign Office and Civil Guard for further information.
