A SLATER FAMILY SOURCE ALSO TOLD MAIL ONLINE: "LUCY IS IN TENERIFE. ANOTHER SUPPOSEDLY UNTRACEABLE WITNESS IS ON HOLIDAY IN GREECE. IF WE CAN FIND THIS OUT SO QUICKLY WHY CAN'T THE

POLICE?" 07:48, 22 May 2025Updated 12:58, 22 May 2025 A "missing" witness in the inquest into Jay Slater's death is reportedly still in Tenerife on holiday where he

died, according to his family. Lucy Law is believed to be in Tenerife and said to be unaware police even want to speak to her for the purposes of Mr Slater's inquest. The hearing was

adjourned on Wednesday after the teenager's tearful mum told the coroner she still had questions which needed answers. Preston Coroner's Court was told witnesses in the case

hadn't been traced and these are thought to include Ms Law, who was on holiday with Mr Slater, 19, when he went missing last summer, reports the Mirror. However, speaking last night

from the family home in Burnley, Lancashire, Ms Laws's stepfather Andy Davis said: "The police have only just been round today to say that she was due to give evidence. But

it's the first time we knew of it... We had no idea Jay's inquest was even being held today." A Slater family source also told Mail Online: "Lucy is in Tenerife. Another

supposedly untraceable witness is on holiday in Greece. If we can find this out so quickly why can't the police?" Other missing witnesses include two men whose Airbnb holiday let

Mr Slater, an apprentice bricklayer, went to before vanishing. After all the evidence had been heard on Wednesday, Ms Duncan addressed Dr James Adeley, senior coroner for Lancashire and

Blackburn with Darwen. She said: "How can we ever get any understanding? There's things we want to question. We want these people to be sat in front of us, because our son went on

holiday and didn't come back, so there's questions we need to ask." JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our

Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, had attended the NRG Festival at Papagayo, in Playa de las Americas, Tenerife on June 16 last year but became separated from his friends, including Ms Law,

following the all-night rave. The inquest, now adjourned with no new date set, heard traces of drugs, including cocaine, ketamine and ecstasy, were found in Mr Slater's body and

pathologists concluded his death from head injuries was consistent with a fall. But Dr Adeley said: "When drugs are involved in a death, the witnesses are less than forthcoming and do

not wish to speak to the authorities." He later added: "We can't find them (the witnesses), they have stopped responding to phone calls." Article continues below

Following a search lasting 29 days, Mr Slater's body was found in a ravine on July 15. The terrain in this area was described as "really steep, really dangerous" during the

inquest, which will resume at a later - as yet unfixed - date.
