SS Chusan - Wikipedia

Chusan wasn’t sailing UK/Australia in January 1970… It was sailing UK/India at that time… I think?

Interesting, in NAA, I can see the Chusan left 10 Jan 1970 and arrived in Sydney 10 March 1970. It adds up to her timeline. But still have to confirm they were actually on it.

Weirdness. The timelines seem sketchy for it. Which seems appropriate.

Read the wiki, it says from 1963 it also operated to Sydney Australia and it was retired in 1973

Good point from Mr Smith!

He got DdH to admit that although RB told her he was regularly travelling overseas to visit family, it doesn't mean it's true – he 100% lied to her about it!

For example, when RB went overseas with JO, he said he was visiting family but obviously wasn't.

With this logic, he could have been lying other times he went overseas, including the time both he and Marion were overseas at the same time.

RB's story and alibis are falling apart

From the wiki: The P&O's association with India ended in January 1970, with a voyage by Chusan on the final London to India service route.

Hang on a minute! This is very interesting.... she just revealed that if they went anywhere, they'd always go together and HE would drive.

But all day, she's been saying she had the car and drove kids around, and he often went on day trips and overnight trips by public transport for coin stuff or to catch up with people or whatever. And she never accompanied him to Brisbane.

What? Inconsistencies in her lies? I never!

That's all from me for now, pals, it's 05:43 here

Poor Sally hearing what Blum had told his wife about Marion. We all know what word she was intimating when she said "keen on men".

yep, all unraveling ..........now she is tired and cant remember all the lies she has said previously. This may be a tactic to keep her on the stand without closing for the day earlier as was suggested

 

[mishy66]

She again said cousins then his other BROTHER died.... yesterday she slipped up saying his brothers again, not cousins as mentioned earlier by her.
I am still standing by the Lineage of WW and 2 brothers born to Coppenolle and David

Honestly, I think the best moment was when she said they talked about Marion on the drive back from the police station. This after yesterday the question was posed to her multiple times with increasing incredulity because it was just a stupid and blatant lie.

 

[Derleedl]

THAT reaction is the real her. The incredulous look at the question being reframed in a more aggressive manner. She’s not some meek woman, she’s just playing one on tv.

Wait! Which reaction?

 

[Podcast Tragic]

My questions from today are about the Mitsubishi Magna ??? Bought and sold 3 months later. And what happenned in Ballina to make them move away??? I think if I hear again "I don't remember the date/year" "I have no knowledge of that" I will cry.

 

[Belleandsebastian]

Wait! Which reaction?

I’d love to know what her true personality is as well. I get a sense that it’s not exactly what we’re seeing on the stand.

It was interesting to hear that DD said the Ballina Coin company never was an actual up and running business. How come it had a phone number, a silent one at that? Where did the bills go for that phone number? A secret PO Box of RB's?
