Ep 21 | The Theo Heyez Case: Cult Allegations
In May 2019, Theo Hayez, an 18-year-old Belgian backpacker, vanished during a night out in Byron Bay, Australia. What followed was one of the most disturbing and puzzling missing-person cases in recent years.
Theo was last seen leaving the Cheeky Monkey’s nightclub in the early hours of the morning. CCTV captured him wandering through residential streets, bushland, and eventually toward the rugged coastline. His phone data, erratic movements, and sudden silence raised immediate concerns.
Despite extensive police searches, drones, helicopters, and international attention, Theo Hayez was never found.
