Yes, Byron Bay police notes from April 1998 indicate the possibility $80k was wired overseas. But, it's Colonial Ashmore and they do have records that the $80K was withdrawn not transferred. At least not in Marion's name.
So the question is, where did GC get that info from? That note has always been
First, Sally went to Byron and told GC that $5k a day was being taken out of the Byron branch for weeks. She didn't even know about Ashmore $80k.
GC was within walking distance from the Byron bank yet he never responded to that enquiry, but came back with 'she took her Ashmore money and ran off overseas with a man'.
How did he know to contact the Ashmore branch? Yet never followed up with the Byron branch which was the actual inquiry?
Furthermore, Colonial say they never had a securities officer and were never contacted by police. Again, so where did GC get his info from?
Then, I remember Sally should have never known about the Byron bank withdrawals. She only found out because the phone teller broke the rules and told her. So I suspect the story all along for RB was to say that she took her Ashmore cash and left the country. I don't think anyone was ever supposed to know about Byron, it's always been fiercely protected, so I think the answer is in Byron.
The story that was planted and that halted a real investigation, was that Marion, was just a thrice divorced silly elderly woman who ran off with a man without telling her family. Where did that start? GC.
Then, when it became evident that Colonial records showed no transfer overseas, the story changed to "she was sighted" yet no-one can explain by whom.
IMO. Could be way off, it's just speculation. Really keen to hear other perspectives
FYI, GC was an officer for 20 years at the time of Marion's disappearance and claims he didn't know missing person's procedure. He left the force five years later and has since worked in sales for retirement village and resort property investment companies.
Re-listening to earlier episodes of the podcast and didn’t remember this detail but WOW end of episode 3) ~50:30, reading notes from Byron Bay Police Graham Childs says “one possible reason for her behavior is that she has returned to Australia with a companion and has transferred the funds [80k] to England to purchase a property there with a view to move to England.”
The money went overseas!!! So what went into the Ballina security box??!
Stuff that gets buried in long black tubes maybe gets dug up and placed in a safe deposit box - random thought and speculation.Re-listening to earlier episodes of the podcast and didn’t remember this detail but WOW end of episode 3) ~50:30, reading notes from Byron Bay Police Graham Childs says “one possible reason for her behavior is that she has returned to Australia with a companion and has transferred the funds [80k] to England to purchase a property there with a view to move to England.”

I’m also intrigued by the other company..I think RB has tried to make sure he has covered all tracks over the years and when confronted has been able to tell a credible story.
Yes have seen the lady’s business which is def legitSince i found that adress, i’m searching info about it. It’s crazy how many businesses have been there over the years. So i doubt it’s still interesting to the police. Nevertheless it will help them paint a picture of his whereabouts.
Purely my thought about this adress: looks like it was an adress used by a lot of fake businesses until it was bought by a lady to run her real business in.
But maybe it’s interesting for the police to look at the owner of the building? If it wasn’t our W.W(and other aliasses), maybe it’s someone he rented often from/did more business with. And maybe that leaves a trail?
Maybe I am a bit thick - but is there a reason that they knew the 2nd inquest would be held at Ballina, back after the first inquest ( on the 25th of Jun) ? is Ballina only relevant because of RB ?
when was he interviewed ?
Also at 1.10 of this video they state - " police think someone in Northern NSW knows more about marion's disappearance then they originally told them"

I was looking at the address yesterday , thanks for this Eye spy i ran out of time and then forgot
Ah yes, that address was linked with the phone number, but I believe it's a reassigned number, nothing to do with the silent number from back in 1994, that address remains unknown to us at this point. But I do believe some link had been found with the Ballina phone number and Lennox Head PO. Perhaps they're going on a view?At the beginning of the inquest last year, they announced it was going to be one week in NSW, then one week split between Ballina and Byron. They never said why. We all wondered 'what's in Ballina?'
At the time, there were some bones found in the area. Sally had to put out a statement saying they were not her mum's (could still be, sometimes police keep things up their sleeves, for strategic purposes).
Then we all wondered if it had to do with Remakel rencontres ad. Yonks ago @Itsapuzzle found the phone listed in the ad was associated with this address:
Unknown Unit number
53 Anderson St, East Ballina NSW 2478, Australia
During first week of inquest, they announced a reward for info, and the one-week split between Ballina and Byron would be postponed until this year to investigate further links to Remakel.
Only recently did they announce a full extra week being added. No idea what all this means, or when they found and interviewed RB, or why Ballina, lol. They still haven't announced witnesses. They are keeping it TIGHT!
NSW Coroner's Court just updated their schedule. Mon-Tues at Ballina and Wed-Fri at Byron Bay!

H'mm, I've subscribed to the Coroner's Court on youtube, Marion Barter inquest, and I haven't received a livestreaming link for Monday. So, could this mean the applications heard on day one were to restrict the public from viewing RB and DB's evidence?![]()
The NSW Coroners site of upcoming live streams doesn't have anything further re Marion's inquest..
