About this episode
Belgian man Theo Hayez was living his dream and traveling around Australia in 2019. He had seen amazing sites like the Great Barrier Reef and Australian outback.
In May 2019, Theo ended up in Australia’s famous beachside town Byron Bay. He made some friends at the hostel where he was staying and they visited the notorious Cheeky Monkey’s bar for a night out.
Theo was having fun dancing and socializing, but a security guard thought he was bordering on intoxication. He was asked to leave the bar, which he did quickly and quietly. Theo has never been seen again.
The investigation into Theo’s disappearance is one of the largest ever conducted in Australia. A $500,000 reward exists for information in his case.
Was Theo a victim of misadventure? Or did he come across the wrong person that night? There are some gaps in the timeline of his disappearance and his family believe someone in Byron Bay may hold the answer as to what happened to Theo.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the disappearance of Theo Hayez.
