Lucy Law, a friend of Jay Slater, has disclosed the teenager's final words before his tragic death in Tenerife last year. The 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, vanished in June 2024 after attending a music festival. His body was found in a ravine in Parque Rural de Teno on July 15, following a month-long search.
In a new Channel 4 documentary, Lucy recounted the desperate phone call she made to Spanish police after speaking with Jay. She told the operator: 'My friend, he's met some people, and they've drove him up into the mountains. I don't know why and he's left the house.' She added that Jay said he felt like he was going to die up there, before the call cut off.
The documentary also reveals the final CCTV footage of Jay, captured at Tramps Nightclub at 3:07am on June 17. Earlier, at 2:40am, he had texted Lucy: 'Can't get in Papagayo they got marker on me.' When she offered to come get him, he replied: 'Doesn't matter it's OK. I on a mission.'
According to a coroner's report, Jay told friends he was 'in the middle of the mountains' and needed a drink, as he attempted a 14-hour walk home after taking drugs and alcohol. The documentary, 'The Disappearance of Jay Slater,' airs on Channel 4 on September 28 at 9pm.
