In June 2003, 25-year-old Simon Gurrier-Jones left Perth alone.By the following morning, he was more than 1,000 kilometres from home, travelling east along the Eyre Highway.What happened on that journey — and what happened after he reached Cocklebiddy — has never been fully known.In this episode of Vanished West, we look at Simon’s disappearance, the private distress that may have preceded it, and the questions left with the family who never stopped searching. Vanished West is independently researched and produced by me.
