Grieving Mother Demands Answers in Disappearances of Six Indigenous Men in Western Australia

Jo Taylor, whose son Wes Lockyer is among the missing, raises concerns about racial bias and lack of urgency in the investigations.

Six Indigenous men, including Wes Lockyer, have gone missing in the same sparsely populated area of Western Australia over the past three years, raising concerns about potential connections between the cases.
Jo Taylor, the mother of Wes Lockyer, has criticized the lack of attention and resources devoted to the search for her son compared to high-profile cases involving non-Indigenous individuals.
The initial search for Wes Lockyer was called off after just four days, leading Taylor and her family to hire private investigators to continue the investigation independently.
Taylor questions whether racial bias and stereotypes, including unsubstantiated links to drug-running and bikie gangs, influenced the handling of her son's case by authorities.
She is calling for a more thorough investigation, accountability from police and politicians, and greater public awareness to bring resolution to the disappearances.
