Overview

• Channel 4’s The Disappearance of Jay Slater, scheduled for 28 September at 9pm, features previously unseen CCTV, unheard emergency call audio and an unsent Snapchat message reading, “Listen, I’m not going to make it.”
• The inquest in July found the 19-year-old died from an accidental fall causing a fatal skull injury, with no evidence of third‑party involvement, and toxicology showed cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine and alcohol.
• CCTV in the film traces a late‑night timeline from Papagayo to Tramps, with location shares to Masca around 6:22am and a final clip outside an Airbnb at 7:21am before he set off on foot.
• Phone data logged steps and inclines until 8:49:51, his last call to friend Lucy Law was about 8:50am, and his body was recovered on 15 July in a ravine near the final phone ping after a 29‑day search.
• Debbie Duncan condemns damaging online theories and, with backing from Labour MP Sarah Smith, is campaigning for “Jay’s Law,” while also using the documentary to counter rumors, including by showing the simple contents of his bag.
