An Aussie has detailed the "creepy" experience that led him to believe a rumoured serial killer might still be lurking around one of the country's biggest tourist spots.. The Byron Bay Killer theory gained traction in late 2024 when NSW Upper House MP Jeremy Buckingham addressed Parliament, stating: "The worst serial killer in the nation's history has gotten away with it." His claim: There were "alarming similarities" between these cases—enough to warrant a fresh investigation.
Locals are terrified there is a serial killer targeting Byron Bay and the coastal NSW region despite police investigations saying otherwise.. Belgian backpacker Theo Hayez died by accident or at the hands of an unknown person in the NSW tourist mecca of Byron Bay three years ago, a coronial inquest has found.
