Is there a killer in Byron Bay?

In the early hours of August 5th, Stephanie Cordery was captured on CCTV leaving Ballina before driving towards Nimbin. 

Hours later, her car was found at a remote rainforest property, but Stephanie had vanished without a trace. 

But she is not the first to disappear from the region with no explanation; in fact there have been 67 missing persons along the New South Wales Coast since the 70s.

In this episode, Daily Mail reporter Karleigh Smith joins Wayne to examine the search, the questions troubling Stephanie’s family and the disturbing history of unexplained disappearances across northern New South Wales.
