<modsnip - quoted post and response removed> I don't know how early on in the tapes the first episode of abuse was heard. I find it hard to believe that the foster parents were kind and patient and the abuse only began when the surveillance started. I don't know why the police acted why they...

This is Victoria. Victorian law states that any citizen of our state is able to access excellent coffee at any time in any place. I'm telling porkies course, but we do like our coffee here. Saying that, I don't think they would have stopped for a snack on the short ride to lunch or the short...

Lindy Chamberlain and Kathleen Folbigg were both convicted, rightly or wrongly, after lengthy trials. We know their names and we know their faces. The names of the former foster parents of William Tyrell are not public knowledge and their faces are always kept hidden. There is no mob of bogan...

I had wondered if one or more of the victims had been taken to Dandenong, it being the first major hospital between Gippsland and Melbourne. It doesn't have a great reputation and Monash in Clayton is the place where everyone wants to go in an emergency. I go to Dandy on a monthly basis to have...

That's how I understood it too. This is what I do when I have people over for lunch if I've cooked a roast for example. One person likes the breast of the chicken, some the dark. My husband's family only eat beef or lamb if it's practically cremated so I put a portion in for longer to suit their...

Watching now. Speaking as someone who spent several happy years living in Korumburra, for the love of g-d learn to pronounce the name properly. Not important in the grand scheme of things I suppose, but it does set my ears on edge.

I'm no fan of the Murdoch press, like all good Victorians, but the HS does have a top notch crime reporting team in including Andrew Rule (of Underbelly fame), Keith Moor (Crims in Grass Castles, the Mugshot series), very victim focussed, Anthony Dowsley can come across as a bully boy in person...

Thanks jepop. It's always interesting to find the source.

<modsnip> I can't find any wording about worthiness and not being good enough in any of the mainstream media. I'm hoping someone can link an article.

Where is this information about the luncheon turning into a discussion about EP not being worthy? I keep seeing it mentioned here and I can't find it anywhere else. It's coming off as victim blaming.

But what information was he supposed to be forthcoming with? He told the interviewers that he didn't know Marion and that he'd never been to Australia. He was far more civil than I would have been.

The man now known as R B has an extensive and veeery interesting file publicly available on the National Archives site. I won't link it here because the whole matter is ongoing but it is easy to find. I hope the people who were so certain of Monsieur Remakel's guilt at least feel somewhat...

Here is the original, if any one is interested. I can't see any link between this notice and the Le Courrier one.

Probably eats crackers too.

Edit: I've been away so long I've forgotten how to quote and reply. What I meant to write was this: "Same here. I'm a long time Redditor and I still prefer the old version. I haven't posted here on WS for ages. I was obsessed with the case for a while and I was here often. I'm not going...

I'm about 18 minutes in to the new episode and Brian, talking to Sally, says "the investigation into your mother's death". Hold on, have I missed something? I didn't listen to the most recent Conversation episode, has it been established that Marion/Florabella is deceased?

Not quite! Marion's parents John Mackenzie and Colleen Wilson's address in 1949 was 58 Canonbury Grove Dulwich Hill which is a 4 minute drive from Victoria Rd, according to Google maps. They don't appear on the electoral roll again until 1958 when their address is Drummond Rd Oyster Bay, so...

I should have added it, I got lazy. The second one was Florabella Laws died Sydney 1970

The 1958 electoral roll name must be a transcription error as she is Florabella Hazel Stocks before and after. Did a bit of Trove-ing and NSW BDM-ing and found that her maiden name was Despoges, she married Gordon Stocks in 1956 in Marrickville and that her mother's name was also Florabella (nee...

Nice find! I've order many items from the NAA and it's not uncommon for a typo in the index, it will be interesting to see the full record.
