Introducing: The Lighthouse

Theo Hayez is missing in Byron Bay, a beautiful beachside town on Australia’s most easterly mainland point, frequently in the spotlight for its famous residents.

Theo’s from Brussels. He’s 18 and on a backpacking holiday when he vanishes in May 2019. Behind the scenes, local volunteers who’ve never met Theo begin searching and investigating with his family, parallel to a major police investigation.

As the search narrows to the area around the 118-year-old Cape Byron Lighthouse, a range of theories emerge.

At the request of Theo’s family, The Australian National Crime Correspondent David Murray joins the unofficial search party to investigate the mysterious disappearance for a new podcast series.
