This week we are headed to the land down under to look at a Missing Persons Crisis that mirrors the one we are facing here in the Americas. 

While looking for cases to highlight Blue Jean Jacket Day on June 6th here in the US, I came across several stories of missing aboriginal men in Western Australia. 

Much like with the MMIR movement here in the US, WA has an absurd number of missing men from native communities, most who reside in the bush. 

This episode gives s quick coverage of one family of who lost several members over the decades, with no clue as to what happened to them or where they could have gone. 

Follow the links below to find resources if you have any information about these disappearances.
