SYDNEY: The father of an 18-year-old Belgian backpacker made a heart-rending appeal for help finding his son Monday , as Australian police admitted they were"baffled" by his disappearance from a picturesque surf town.AdvertisementNew South Wales state police were alerted to his disappearance on Jun 6 after he failed to return to the hostel where he was staying and have scoured bushland and off the coast to no avail.

"I promised Theo's little brother, Lucas, that I would bring his brother home. Please, help me keep my promise to him," father Laurent Hayez said, struggling to be heard through tears. Meanwhile, police superintendent David Roptell announced the release of footage of the teenager buying alcohol at a store on May 31 in the hope it would jolt people's memories.

"Hopefully if people were in the area at that time ... they may have recognised or have some information that is leading to the disappearance of Theo Hayez," Roptell said, adding:"We are baffled ... because that is all we have."
