JAY Slater's pal Lucy Law who failed to show up to his inquest has been told that the police are "looking" for her - as she holidays in Tenerife.
The 20-year-old was one of the last people to see Jay alive and was supposed to give evidence at the official probe on Wednesday.

The inquest into the teen's death was dramatically paused after cops said they were unable to locate Law and other important witnesses.
Apprentice bricklayer Jay travelled to the Spanish island in June to attend the NRG music festival in Playa de las Americas with two friends, Lucy Law and Brad Hargreaves.
The teen travelled to an Airbnb apartment in Masca with two men - including convicted drug dealer Ayub Qassim - in the early hours of June 17, before leaving at around 8am.
Jay, of Oswaldtwistle, Lancs, made a heartbreaking final call to his friend Law saying he had cut his leg, was lost, dehydrated and had just one per cent battery on his phone after he left the Airbnb.
At the opening of the inquest Senior Coroner Dr James Adeley said that Law is among those who could not be tracked down to give evidence.
On Wednesday night, Law's family revealed she was on holiday on the very same island where Jay died and totally unaware the inquest was going on.
In the bio of Lucy's new Instagram profile is a link to a TikTok account called toptantenerife - suggesting it could be linked to her in some way.
It's not clear whether she runs the account, but some of the comments on the videos are addressed to her.
A comment on the most recent video reads: "Let Lucy know the feds are looking for her xx".
As the inquest was adjourned, Jay's desperate mum Debbie pleaded for the coroner to do more to summon witnesses including Qassim and the other man Jay went to the Airbnb with, Steven Roccas.

She said: "I know you tried to locate them but how can we ever get any understanding?
"We know he died, we know he had an accident, but from him leaving that holiday resort to going up there.
She desperately pleaded: "We read the statements. There are things that we want to question. We want these people in front of us.
"My son went on holiday and didn't come back so there are questions we need to ask. Please."

Speaking at the family home in Burnley, Lucy's stepfather Andy Davis said: "We had no idea Jay's inquest was even being held today.
"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."
He added: "They asked if Lucy was home and I said she was abroad and they asked me if I was aware that she should have been in court, and I said I wasn't."
"The police said they had sent Lucy paperwork with the dates on it, but the first I knew about it was when the police turned up earlier today."
Sources in the Slater family later said they were aware where the other missing witnesses were, and had also been able to find them easily, according to the MailOnline.
The family source said: "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?"
Why the inquest farce is more pain for Jay's family
by Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter (Digital)
AS I stood in the sweltering, remote mountains of Masca I was told the news Jay Slater's loved ones dreaded - his body had been found.
But for his devastated family, it didn't bring the closure they so desperately needed.
Now almost a year on, his grief-stricken mum, dad and brother have been subjected to yet more torment as an inquest into his death dredged up painful details of his disappearance - while lacking any actual answers.
Jay's courageous mum Debbie Duncan opened up to me just weeks after his body was found about how she was tortured by not knowing what happened to her beloved son before he fell to his death.
I was humbled by the bravery she showed in the face of living every parent's worst nightmare on the world stage - relentlessly hounded by mindless trolls.
Spineless witnesses failing to turn up to the hearing to provide crucial information is a kick in the teeth for Debbie and his already suffering family.
The 19-year-old went missing 11 months ago, and his body tragically discovered 29 days later.
So why after all these months has the court failed to bring together vital witnesses - including the two friends he was on holiday with?
After months and months of battling through their grief, the last thing Jay's family needed was to face a farce of a hearing without the necessary witnesses.

The court also heard a suggestion that witnesses may be reluctant to appear because drugs may have been involved.
After Jay's body was found, officials said there were traces of cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine in his body.
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."
Jay's disappearance and death remain largely cloaked in mystery and it is hoped that glaring gaps in his final movements will be filled after the inquest.
Qassim was previously jailed for nine years in 2015 as the ringleader of a London-based gang dealing heroin and crack cocaine in Cardiff.
He and another Brit previously known only as "Rocky" had rented the Airbnb in the remote Tenerife mountains that they took Jay back to after the festival.
