Sydney 'Ron' Guest was last seen in the late 1960s. While a coroner has ruled he is dead, his family is left without answers as to how he disappeared.
Supplied: Coroner's Court of WAA West Australian coroner has found a Bridgetown man who mysteriously disappeared more than 50 years ago is most likely dead.What's next?abc.net.au/news/wa-coronial-inquest-missing-person-sydney-ronald-guest/104741000A coronial inquest has found a man from south-west Western Australia who mysteriously disappeared more than 50 years ago is dead.
Police were able to contact Christina Pember, Alf's daughter, who told them Ron was "a bit of a drifter" at the time.Reward to help find long-term missing personsThere's hope a $500,000 reward could lead to information about six Indigenous men who disappeared in suspicious circumstances in northern WA.
She said her uncle did not attend her wedding in 1970 or his mother's funeral in 1972, leading her to believe he disappeared in either 1968 or 1969. It was prompted by his sister-in-law, Helena Guest, who contacted Crime Stoppers in 2019 after reading a news article which referenced human remains being found in Chidlow, within the Shire of Mundaring, in 1979.Little information was obtained during the police investigation.Ms Linton found beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Guest was dead, with all surviving family members in agreement.
"Alf’s two daughters had no knowledge of any form of disagreement, but did recall that both their parents, but particularly their father, were deeply affected by Ron’s disappearance and never stopped searching for him."AAP: Richard WainwrightShe speculated the answer could be as simple as Mr Guest went looking for firewood in the bush and died by way of accident or natural causes.
