Jay Slater pal Lucy Law's 'urgent 999 call' to cops reveals 'he's going to die up there'

A new Jay Slater documentary plays the desperate ‘999 call’ his friend Lucy Law made to Spanish police where she tells them: “Jay said he is going to die up there”.

Lucy had known Jay Slater for about six years, was the last person to speak to him on the phone. The 19-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, went missing in Tenerife in June 2024 after attending a music festival.

CCTV footage showed him in nightclubsbut he then got into a car with two men he had met on the holiday and was driven to an Airbnb in the remote village of Masca, about 22 miles (36km) away from where he was staying.

It is thought he then tried to get back to where he was staying and got into difficulty. On the call to Spanish police airing in the Channel 4 film, Lucy tells them: “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.

“And I don't know if something happened, and I was telling him, you need to go back to your friends and tell them to drive you back down. And he said ‘No, I can't. I can’t’. But I don't know why that was.”

The police then asks for the friend’s name and Lucy tells them it is Jay Slater. The police ask if her friend has asked to be rescued and she added: “Yes, said he feels like he's going to die up there. And then the phone cut off.”

The audio from the call with the police has never been heard before and sheds new light on the events of June 17. After the call to police a huge search was launched before Jay’s body was found in a remote area near the village of Masca on 15 July.

Within hours of Jay 's disappearance in the summer of 2024, mass online interest set conspiracy theories flying, causing a social media storm led by true-crime keyboard detectives.

The case became the focus of global attention, with over 30 million videos online speculating about Jay's whereabouts. Channel 4 ’s new film The Disappearance of Jay Slater will air next weekend.

It also has the final shots of CCTV of Jay which they will show alongside messages he sent. At 11.55pm Jay is seen at Papagayo Nightclub and then there is CCTV of him leaving at 01.04am.

At 1.12am he is refused re-entry into the club and can be seen at the entrance. A doorman appears to be pointing into the distance to show Jay something.

At 2.40am he send a message telling friends: “Can’t get in Papagayo they got marker on me”. Pal Lucy replies at 2.48am: “I’ve just said I’ll come out and get you if you come home.” Then at 2.49am Jay replies: “Doesn’t matter it’s OK. I on a mission.”

He can then be seen in CCTV at Tramps Nightclub at 3.07am. This is the last CCTV sighting of Jay. It thought he then left this club and later that morning died.

According to a coroner report in July, Jay told his friends he was "in the middle of the mountains" and in need of a drink, as he attempted a 14-hour walk home the morning after taking drugs and alcohol on a night out,
