Australia Australia - Marion Barter, 51, missing after trip to UK, June 1997 #13

Yes, even if you weren't involved.
He hasn't been charged with anything, I remind myself.

But the fact that police would speak to you and you get called to appear at an inquest, makes it even more certain that you would try and find out as much as you can about the case, from any source.

Even if you weren’t “involved”. Like if I found out there was a podcast one of my exes going missing, I’d be listening to it! (Or friend or acquaintance even!)

Telling lies is very exhausting!

I missed a few minutes, the stream didn't resume.
I had to refresh the page.

Is he rambling about Rudolf Nureyev ? LOL as if his manager knows Blum.
He is such a player - while he thinks for an excuse, his head hangs and he repeats the same word over and over and over

I still feel like there is a bombshell to be dropped. The podcast at least made it seem that way.

Is it possible to be arrested as one leaves the Coroners Court?

Did he just say “I never saw her (MB) til she came and picked her belongings up from my place” …

“til”???

Future tence after discussing her going to Heathrow Airport???

It's exhausting for all of us that are listening to him...

We're talking about luggage.

Lol, sneaky Smith. He waited until RB was practically comatose with exhaustion from concocting a lie, and then asked, 'did you tell Marion to store her luggage at Heathrow?'

RB said he wasn't in the UK with Marion so he couldn't have given her those instructions.

Again - please ask him about Florabella!

I thought it went like this:

Smith: Did you go to Heathrow Airport with Marion Barter?

RB: No, I never saw her til/until she picked up her belongings from my place.

If he did say “til” then that was a huge slip that he DID see her after she went overseas… rather than “since” which would align with his story of having last seen her when she picked up the boxes BEFORE the trip.

Now RB claims he doesn't dream?

I missed that!

My ex is a narcissist and he always told me that he didn't dream. Apparently it's common for narcissist's not to dream. Lack of conscience.

Now RB claims he doesn't dream?

Wonder if he sweats…

 

[KateM]

Wonder if he sweats…

He doesn't write good poetry either.

 

[KateM]

I have to think very carefully, (as I don't want to incriminate myself)...

 

[KeenSleuth17]

I missed that!

I have just gone back and listened - he definitely to my ears says “I never saw her again til, you know, she came and pick up her belongings”.
Arghhhhh!! Hope someone else in the court room has picked up on this.

 

[KateM]

I see them as two older women.

No, it's definitely a man and a woman sitting together.

What a piece of S#&T. So extremely frustrating for everyone concerned. I am positive that he thinks that he can bamboozle everyone just as he has obviously done to his past victims. He has wasted SOOOOOOO much time sounding like a broken record (repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat)
He is a financial drain on not only the court system but our welfare system. I wonder if his wife was still claiming the carers pension while he was jet setting across to the other side of the world. Welfare Fraud to be sure, to be sure!!!!!

Smith has just hung him up by his musical testicle!

In not seeing her for over 30 yrs he says he had nothing to say to her !
