Australia Australia - Marion Barter, 51, missing after trip to UK, June 1997 #8

I half expect RB to turn up to court today with a bandage around his head and doctor's certificate saying he had brain surgery last night.

Or saying he has dissociative identity disorder and is subject to fugues.

Containers

That’s a lot of literature about coins to fill a freaking container…

Probably not a good thing to say in a public court that he studied coins because Australians are ignorant of their value and he can rip them off easily.

Casselden just sits back and lets old mate talk himself into a ditch

Containers full of other victim's belongings, more like it.

I actually am beginning to see how he was successful as a conman. He never answers the questions posed to him, but by the time he’s finished talking I bet 99% of people don’t even realize it, or even remember what they asked.

 

[mishy66]

I thought he was saying that it was his coffee house?

Plus he's blaming this other man for the ad now.

more like his in laws cafe from way back! He is jumbling up his years

OMG pension that he GETS FROM OVERSEAS! As well as an Aussie pension. Uh oh! I don't think that's allowed?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Pension from overseas

 

[CrowGirl87]

Grandfather??
First time we've heard of him... !!!!!!!

 

[Passingthru]

He had no money, except to pay a lease for a room he never used to house books? Do I have that right?

 

[caitlincurious]

Can someone explain where the containers have come in?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

So was he employed at the coin auction

There are some allowances for this to occur. ( NOT defending him - I hope he gets hung out to dry!)

You say employed, he says doing a favor for a friend for money.

 

[mishy66]

So was he employed at the coin auction

" to read books "

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Yes that's what he says...

You say employed, he says doing a favor for a friend for money.

 

[mishy66]

Grandfather??
First time we've heard of him... !!!!!!!

I think he said for his 'grandchild'

 

[TootsieFootsie]

A favour for money

You say employed, he says doing a favor for a friend for money.

He randomly offered up this information without being prompted... that he brought in a couple of containers from overseas full of coins or coin literature. He was supposed to be answering an un related question. Casselden didn't question it and moved on.
