Episode 1
Penno: Part 1
Jayden Penno-Tompsett vanished from Charters Towers, Queensland after a 20 hour drive from Newcastle, NSW with travel companion Lucas Tattersall on New Year’s Eve 2017.
What happened to him between the hours of 3am and 11am on the 31st December remains a mystery.
In this first episode we speak with Jayden’s mum, Rachel, his best mate Jayson “Hungy” Hungerford and discuss the theories from logical to unfathomable.
Was Jayden the victim of a serial killer on the unforgiving Highway of Death? Did he perish in the harsh Queensland terrain? Was he executed for a long running debt to drug dealers? Or was he responsible for his own actions?
