The final CCTV footage of Jay Slater, captured just hours before his tragic d3ath, is set to be aired in a new Channel 4 documentary.
The film aims to dispel the mystery surrounding his d3ath and quash the numerous social media theories and claims that have arisen since his disappearance.
Jay, a 19 year old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, vanished on 17 June 2024, sparking a massive search operation. His body was discovered in a remote area near the village of Masca in Tenerife on 15 July.
His disappearance in the summer of 2024 ignited a flurry of online speculation, with conspiracy theories spreading like wildfire across social media platforms. The case attracted global attention, with over 30 million videos posted online speculating about Jay’s whereabouts.
Channel 4’s new documentary features the last known CCTV footage of Jay, along with messages he sent on the night of his disappearance, reports the Mirror.
At 11.55pm, Jay is seen at Papagayo Nightclub, and then there is CCTV footage of him leaving at 01.04am.
At 1.12am, he is denied re-entry into the club and can be seen at the entrance. A doorman appears to be pointing into the distance, seemingly showing Jay something.

Then at 2.49am, Jay replies: “Doesn’t matter it’s OK. I on a mission.”
He is then spotted on CCTV at Tramps Nightclub at 3.07am. This is the last known sighting of Jay.

According to a coroner’s report in July, Jay informed his mates he was “in the middle of the mountains” and in need of a drink, as he embarked on a 14-hour trek home the morning after indulging in drugs and alcohol during a night out.
The Disappearance of Jay Slater also features never-before-seen CCTV footage, previously unheard audio, the discovery of unsent messages, and access to the Slater family as they seek answers about what transpired with Jay.
It was the only media outlet granted full access to Jay’s post-mortem, Jay’s funeral and Jay’s inquest. The film delves into the true impact of social media sleuthing – on police investigations as well as the damaging effect on the family and loved ones mourning the loss of their son.
