The unspoken stories of 350 West Australians who vanished
They disappeared without a trace. Mothers. Fathers. Children. Loners and extroverts. Rich and poor. All vanished. A total of 364 West Australians are listed as 'long-term missing people'. The files are some of the most baffling cases police deal with because there is no evidence of foul play. One day they were living normal lives, the next they were gone. In most cases there is no suggestion of criminality. No clues left as to why. On Tuesday, the State Government is unveiling a new campaign to find them. A State-wide television and social media blitz will seek to unearth new information about what happened to the people who haven't been seen or heard from over the past seven decades. Instead of focusing on where a person was last seen, the campaign is designed to jog deeper memories of friends, work colleagues and family. Did the missing mum once talk about a secret lover in a different part of Australia? Was the child worried about something in the classroom? Had that workmate mentioned a new hobby or desire to try something new? Crimestoppers - Yvonne Waters Credit: Unknown / WA Police Crime Stoppers WA chief executive Vince Hughes said the campaign would highlight the fact that every long-term missing person had a life story that was abruptly interrupted. The new ads will encourage the public to help complete those untold stories. 'I can't imagine the pain and anguish the families of these missing persons must live with every day of their lives, not knowing what has happened to their loved ones,' Dr Hughes said. 'We want to help the families of these long-term missing persons to complete the untold stories of their loved ones. 'We're asking the public to provide any new information they have about any of the 364 long-term missing persons to contact Crime Stoppers. 'All online reports and calls are anonymous unless you choose to leave your details.' Anyone with information is urged to contact or call 1800 333 000.

The cases are managed by a dedicated team inside the WA Police major crime division. Missing persons team detective Ellie Wold said the smallest tipoff could generate fresh leads. 'Their information might just be the missing piece of the puzzle that helps us to find answers for families of a long-term missing person,' she said. Officers hope the campaign will help solve cases such as what happened to Rigby Mark Fielding, who has not been seen for 10 years. The-then 53-year-old was last seen on the afternoon of August 15, 2015, in East Perth. He told the friends he was with that he was returning to his home in Rockingham. He never made it. Some personal items were found in bushland near Kwinana, but no other trace has been uncovered. Since the 1960s 54 people have gone missing from the Kimberley, 47 rom the Pilbara, 26 from the Goldfields, 22 from the South West and 47 from the Great Southern. Since 1975, 57 people have vanished from the Mid West and six from the Wheatbelt. Between 1953 and 2024, 95 people disappeared from the Perth metropolitan area.

Man charged with murder after 29-year-old man found fatally stabbed inside Croydon Park home in Sydney
A man has been charged with murder after another man was found stabbed to death at a home in southwest Sydney. The body, believed to be that of a 29-year-old man, was found with multiple stab wounds to his neck on Kembla St, Croydon Park, at about 5 pm on Monday. A 32-year-old man was arrested at the home and taken to hospital for assessment. He has since been discharged and was taken to a police station on Tuesday, where he was charged with murder. The man was refused bail and will appear before Burwood Local Court later that same day. Police are appealing for assistance in finding a second man who they believe can help with their investigation. The man is described as being Asian in appearance and was last seen on Kembla St, Croydon Park, on Monday afternoon. Pictures of the man have been released, showing him wearing a black jumper with red symbols on the back, blue jeans, black shoes, a black hat, and carrying a black satchel. Superintendent Christine McDonald described the incident as a gruesome crime, adding that the victim's injuries were horrific. She said the stabbing is not believed to be domestic or gang-related, with police treating the incident as a drug deal gone wrong. Anyone with information about the second man or the incident has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

Trail bike 'wheelie' causes carnage on suburban street near playground
Police are hunting a trail bike rider who crashed into three cars at Kahibah during school pick-up on Monday while doing a wheelie down a suburban street. The crash happened in Hexham Street shortly before 4pm and only metres from Hilltop Kahibah Takeaway and Kahibah Memorial Park, which was filled with children playing at the playground after school. The rider was heading west and initially hit a Mitsubishi Outlander SUV head-on before crashing into two parked vehicles. Several bystanders rushed towards the rider, who miraculously seemed to escape injury. Videos circulating on social media appear to depict the rider fleeing the scene by pushing his bike down Hexham Road as he screamed "don't touch me" to bystanders giving chase. Kahibah resident Mel Owen was at the playground with her children when she heard the trail bike revving up Hexham Street. "He was up on one tyre, going along for a few metres and then crashed into a car that was pulling out from a parked position," Ms Owen said. "He nicked that car and then fell off the bike as he and the bike crashed into two parked cars, which had people in them." Ms Owen said several bystanders rushed towards the trail bike rider, believing he had been seriously injured. "I ran over and he gets up and says, 'Ow'," she said. "He then gets up, pulls his bike up off the road and starts running away from everyone, pushing the bike along and running as fast as he could." Dudley resident Neil Keene was sitting in his car waiting to pick up his son from the school bus when the trail bike crashed into the back of his vehicle. "I heard this screech and a bang and he has bounced off a car he hit front-on, because he was doing a wheelie, and then he hit my car and tried to regain control but couldn't and hit another car and was on the ground," Mr Keene said. The collision damaged Mr Keene's bumper and popped a tyre. Lake Macquarie police were called to the scene and a short time later they located the unregistered motorbike unattended at a housing complex in Hexham Street. The rider was not located, and inquiries to identify the rider are ongoing by Lake Macquarie Police. Mr Keene said illegal trail bike riding has increasingly become a menace across the eastern suburbs of Lake Macquarie. "I almost had a serious collision with a trail bike on a road in Windale when he went straight through an intersection and if it was one second later, he would have T-boned my car," he said. "He obviously would have come off far worse. "I've seen it at Belmont with guys doing wheelies in the middle of the highway." Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
