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. At the request of Theo's family, The Australian newspaper's national crime correspondent David Murray joins the unofficial search party to investigate the mysterious disappearance for a new podcast series, The Lighthouse. Theo left a local bar around 11pm. As the search narrows to the area around the 118-year-old Cape Byron Lighthouse, a range of theories emerge. From the newspaper that brought you The Teacher's Pet and Who The Hell is Hamish, The Lighthouse investigates all possible scenarios as it takes you inside an extraordinary search.

A really well produced researched podcast dealing with a tragic subject matter. Hooked from episode one.
Cheeky Monkeys

I was thrown out of cheeky monkeys in 2008 when I was backpacking. I’d had 1 beer, had just bought my second and was just stood chatting - there was no pre drinking this night either. (I remember because I was hungover and struggling to get back on the ales) A youngish bouncer sort of hovered past as if he was making his mind up on who to talk to then said he wanted to speak to me outside, as I left the front he told me I’d had enough for that night. I think they do it to let more people in and keep the queue down - I leaned that the kicking out policy was known back then, it was indiscriminate and it was always lads unless a girl got visibly very drunk. People getting randomly kicked out was a known thing so I just wanted to mention this as it could happen to the quietest of guys - it is not a reflection on behaviour beforehand.

Once I started listening I was hooked on this podcast. It is very well presented. It is intriguing and made me think of many questions I had which were nearly always addressed later on.
