Comment on Carolina Wilga search triggers uncomfortable questions for families of missing Indigenous men

If a young Aboriginal man was driving around Germany in the wilderness and got lost, I’m extremely sure that the authorities would conduct a search to find him.
I imagine that the number of missing persons in Germany is a pretty sizable figure. They don’t conduct a search for all of those people.

And if a young Turkish man went missing?

Well, a young American dude went missing in the desert in WA in the 90’s and that had wall-to-wall coverage in the news for weeks until he was found also.
I think @DiaDeLosMuertos is right - the driving factor in the interest was that he was a tourist, not that he was any particular nationality/gender. So yes: I think a young Turkish bloke going missing would get just as much coverage.

Straight to jail…well when they find him.
