Jaw-dropping Jay Slater bombshells from new documentary - CCTV footage to chilling 999 call

Channel 4's bombshell documentary The Disappearance of Jay Slater gives viewers brand new insights into the harrowing death of the Lancashire 19-year-old. Apprentice bricklayer Jay had enjoyed a music festival in Tenerife with his mates, before making the fatal decision to leave with two strangers. Early the next morning, he attempted the perilous journey through the island's remote mountains back to his accommodation on foot.

His disappearance was treated as a missing person case for weeks, until tragically, a body was found in the search for him. Jay's mother, Debbie Duncan, discusses the impact of social media on the investigation surrounding his death. After armchair sleuths made an already impossible situation "100 times worse", Debbie is now campaigning for stricter laws around those perpetuating rumours and conspiracy theories online.

Sunday night's documentary features the last known footage of Jay, unsent messages to his friends before his phone battery died and the last photos he took. Channel 4 follows his friends, family and experts as they attempt to unpick the mysterious circumstances around his death, to finally give his loved ones some closure.

Last CCTV footage and texts before disappearance

In the documentary, fans will see the footage of Jay before he disappeared. 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 replied to him at 2.48am, writing: “I’ve just said I’ll come out and get you if you come home.” A minute later, he responded: "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 is thought he then left this club and later that morning died.

After leaving the clubs, 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.

Jay Slater pal Lucy Law's 'urgent 999 call'

He was said to be trying to get back to where he was staying but 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.”

His mother, Debbie Duncan, spoke to the UK police the day after Jay went missing. "He has been located miles and miles away from where he is staying, up a bloody mountain," she tells UK police after calling 999.

She then tells the police how Jay spoke to his friend Lucy Law but only had 1% battery so the conversation was short-lived and speaks of her concern and not knowing the two lads he went off with.

Jay's final unsent message

At one point during the upcoming programme, Jay's mum Debbie recalled finding an unsent message when she logged onto her son's Snapchat account.

After finally receiving Jay's phone, Debbie found a devastating unsent message to his friend. She said: “When we signed into Jay’s Snapchat there was an unsent message from Jay to Brad [Geohegan].

“So the message was obviously just flying around and then the message sent to Brad, which obviously gave Brad a fright. He messaged me straight away ‘are you on Jay’s phone?’. I said yeah we’ve just signed into his Snapchat.

“He said ‘I’ve just got a message that’s just come through from Jay’. The last message he sent. He said ‘listen, I’m not going to make it’. It’s kind of like he knew he just wasn't going to make it.”
