I'll try and see if my card for the National Library is still valid.

Thank you Allan, is there a way I can I can subscribe to it? I really would like to know more about him and what happened to him x.

If it was reported anywhere it would have been in the 'West Australian' newspaper.

If you know of a locality or area where this took place, there may be a local paper for that particular area.

It is also possible that it may have found its way into either the National Archives or the National Library Records

I used to be a member of the National Library but not sure whether my membership is still valid as it has been a number of years since I last used it, but I will give it a go.

Unfortunately, The West Australian newspaper web site is a subscription one and I don't have access to it.

It is thought that my relative in Australia either killed himself or faked his own death in 2002 possibly Western Australia. is there any way I can find out anything about this, would it have been in a local newspaper at the time?
Thank you. xx.
