Found Deceased Australia - Karen Ristevski, 47, Melbourne, Vic, 29 June 2016 - #9

[emirates1957]

I was thinking that if Sarah was working in the shop every day since July, she probably had to defer her course. They would have needed at least one trained and trusted person in the shop, and somebody here reported that other staff had recently left--to Sarah's anger if I recall rightly--when Karen disappeared. So perhaps they couldn't find suitable staff or couldn't afford to pay them properly. Without Sarah, the shop couldn't run, and I imagine they couldn't just close it down without losing the value of the business and perhaps still having rent commitments on the space for a period. The best thing in that situation would be to try to sell it, probably an especially slow process with rumours about of the family's financial difficulties.

So I can understand Sarah feeling stuck and hopeless and her friends wanting to raise money to send her back to school.

Wondering who is supplying the business acumen. How on earth would you know what to buy, from what I can gather it is quite a specialised field in the retail industry (especially women's clothing, being cut throat). Maybe Karen being astute and perhaps nurtured her business from scratch was angry with family members telling what to do when they really didn't know what to do !!!!

I wonder if it was revealed to the family if Karen's body was found with shoes, surely if they were absent it would be harder, for family, to believe that she left the house alive.

I don't think it's a big deal that she has a Chanel bag. Many people do, I'm working class & own a couple of real ones myself.

Yes I wonder about the shoes.
But just in case we the public were interested.

BR stood apart in his black suit and tan shoes.

Totally respect your view/purchase. Middle class, no class, upper class why would you spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on a designer handbag when you are going down the gurglar, home, business ?? How do you justify that ?

All SMS are retained, including their content.

Phone calls are only recorded if the police or another agency has an active warrant to record calls at the time they are made.

Call metadata (who called who, when and for how long) is always retained, but the police need a warrant to access that information.

I often switch the scanner to the Police Trunk Channel.

Very frequently hear radio command inform on duty Police as to who the phone is registered to & from which tower the call originated.

Regional areas still use analogue systems, so the transmissions are not encrypted.

So they do receive some data in real time, which would suggest they may also have some data close to after the fact.

Most likely it is a knock off, she was going to China on regular basis, they make some good quality fakes. Not a big deal imo

I disagree it's a knockoff. Most ppl wouldn't be caught dead in a knockoff especially the young fashionistas.
As for why I would buy a designer bag? Because I enjoy fashion & because I can. We all have our indulgences, shoes & bags are mine ☺️

Have a young fashionista namely my daughter along with my future daughter in law who is a doctor and neither of them would contemplate buying such. Big sign of insecurity.

Yep, and some of those classic designs could be years and years old! Could've been one Karen bought ages ago.

I'm sure Sarah was across it. I reckon she's been like Karen's protégée.

Maybe the bag was a present. Maybe it was a loan--something black for the funeral. Maybe it was bought in prosperous times. Maybe Sarah bought it with her own money; do you think she should have poured all she had into her parents' business? I don't.

I also own a couple of real expensive handbags.

I think Sarahs would be real to be honest.....

 

[Westside_Sleuth]

Not exactly the same but a good indication of what they're worth.

Thats not a very nice thing to say.

Im not insecure at all, I am not a flashy show off at all. I buy what I like regardless of price or brand.

What is big deal about 5K designer handbag?
KR was driving 100k mercedes, house that's 1.1M, weekly rent for her shop was that much, kr was flying first class a few times a year and that is about 5k.
