The family and friends of a Western Australian man missing in Mexico are appealing for help to find him, after not hearing from him for almost a month.
Interpol has joined the search, issuing a yellow alert notice for 35-year-old Jesse Bruzzese, whose family is from Mandurah, south of Perth.
Yellow alert notices are global police alerts to help look for a missing person.
Appealing for public help on social media, Mr Bruzzese’s family said he last spoke to them on June 3.

“Jesse has been travelling overseas and we’ve been unable to confirm where he is or whether he is okay,” the social media posts say.
“His last known location was in Riviera Maya, Cancun, Mexico.
“If you have had any contact with him, or have any info that may confirm he is safe and well, please reach out to our family privately or contact police.”
The family reported him missing to WA Police and said the missing person unit was investigating.
Mr Bruzzese has distinctive tattoos.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian reported missing in Mexico.
In 2024, Perth brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their American friend, Carter Rhoad, were murdered while on a surfing trip in Baja California, along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
A decade earlier in 2015, friends Dean Lucas and Adam Coleman also disappeared in Mexico while on a surfing trip.
The pair, who were also from the Mandurah area, were later found dead in a burnt out van in the rural district of Sinaloa.
In 2022, Queensland woman Tahnee Shanks went missing in Cancun.
