Eighteen-year-old Théo Hayez from Belgium is arguably the most well-known backpacker to travel to Australia. It’s for all the wrong reasons though. Three years ago, he vanished in Byron Bay. His disappearance was completely out of character, one minute he was here, the next, nothing. Speculation about what might have happened to Théo has been intense, but an endless number of Théories have all led nowhere. As you’d expect his mum is heartbroken, and desperate for any information. So to help, we’ve asked former homicide detective Gary Jubelin to retrace Théo’s last known steps in the hope of making sense of this nightmare in paradise.

seriously smooth serial killer
He surely wouldn’t have gone for a swim, especially not with a phone. Otherwise a phone would have been found at the beach Unless he did leave his belongings on the beach and they were stolen by a member of the public before the missing persons was filed 3 days before the missing persons report, how many days until a land sea search was conducted? What an absolute horrible experience for both the boy and the parents having something happen and to be left with no answers My deepest sympathy to the family
Chris Taylor
Unfortunately backpackers come to Australia, their very niave and gulible and take to many risks camping out in remote areas, and overseas backpackers are known to walk along way for a free feed
Clement Tong - The Everyday Boy
Deepest sympathy to the family and best of luck with the search
kimberly shannen cross-craigie
It was fowl play no doubt his phone was thrown into the ocean
Rwake Rwake
The running across the field is odd but I ask one question. What is the most common reason a man runs on a night out? He takes a piss whilst walking with friends and jogs to catch up? Just my humbled opinion.
Jóñ Jòñ
According to 60 minutes Australia he stopped on the beach to look at a Belgian comedy on youtube. I believe that he wanted to share it with someone. Someone who also understood Belgian.

Sounds like misadventure. Hope his family gets answers.

Happy Day
Can we stop giving youth the idea that trekking out alone is safe? People disappear from hostels all the time. They’re about as easy to trace as a hitchhiker for God’s sake. Guys, don’t do this to your poor parents. You can’t trust people in transient areas like hostels, bars, buses or train stops. Stop trusting strangers. It will only hurt you.
Jesus Christ
Sounds like there could be a serial killer in the area. That may sound like a conspiracy, but a few other young men, also foreign, have been murdered or disappeared in the area recently. I really hope they find out what happened to Theo soon
Cassandra Martin
I hope the truth comes out for you Theo, for you and your family

Beautiful Place But There’s Good n Bad in Everything, Sadly There’s Creeps in Every Town.. Hope n Pray for Heaven’s True God to Send Theo’s Family THE TRUTH.. 🕊️🌿🐦🦁💗🙏💗🦁🐦🌿🕊️

Hope it isnt a serial killer. They found clothing of missing people n an abandoned house n Nimbin.

I think Theo was on a bike at the start

The first time the locals and police want the truth when a young person dies in their cesspool of a town

MILAT brothers…Ivan notorious for killing hitchhikers n backpackers. I’m sure he had help with those murders. Documentary about family shows not a normal mindset
Ms Bliss
It sounds like he headed for the beach? Maybe he was hit by a wasted driver? Everyone in the area still keeps an eye out for him. I hope he’s OK. I’ve found syringes in that area unfortunately as well.
cathyannkailee
Gotta love the beautiful Byron Bay locals for supporting Theo’s family and not giving up on the search Hope they get some answers soon Bless his family
Solo Runner
It was Ivan milat brother. Find him and you will find the answers
Ryan G.
Maybe a drug deal gone wrong? Bryon Bay is riddled with break-ins, druggies, sexual assaults etc.
Anna Bailetti
Get a drone out and search the bushland.

Investigating judge announces final findings in investigation into missing Théo Hayez © Belga / M-P Desset

Théo Hayez is a Belgian backpacker who went missing on May 31, 2019, in Byron Bay, Australia. Here are some key points about the case:

  1. Théo Hayez, 18 at the time, was backpacking in Australia and had been in Byron Bay for about two weeks when he went missing.

  2. He was last seen leaving the Cheeky Monkey’s bar in the early hours of May 31, 2019. He did not return to his hostel and his phone and passport were later found in his room.

  3. A massive search and rescue operation was launched, involving the Australian Federal Police, New South Wales Police, the Australian Defence Force, and volunteers.

  4. Despite extensive searches, Théo has not been found to date. The case has received significant media attention both in Australia and overseas.

  5. The case has been complicated by the fact that there were no CCTV cameras in the area where Théo was last seen, and many potential witnesses have provided conflicting accounts of what they saw.

  6. The case has also highlighted the issue of personal safety for backpackers in Australia, with many calling for better safety measures and education for backpackers.

  7. Théo’s family has been actively involved in the search and has made multiple trips to Australia to raise awareness and gather information about his disappearance.

  8. In August 2020, the New South Wales government offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the location of Théo Hayez or the conviction of anyone responsible for his disappearance. The reward is still in place.
