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

My thoughts were that it seemed sort of strange and perhaps him getting in first with his version of events.
Who is or was this person ?

I found whatever waffle he started to say about Ilona's friend coming over before her and staying with him before Ilona got there really...odd? Casselden cut him off because that was just NOT the question but what was that about?

I'm reminded of an investigator I once heard say-- that con men talk and talk and talk. They think they can talk their way out of anything. Clearly WooWooWouters thinks that.

Gaetan I think it was (or similar)

Him throwing shade at the name and emphasising that his wife chose it was a real highlight.

Isn't he trying to say that they didn't travel to Australia together even though they were supposedly already married is because she came out on a Greek ship with a friend. But she flew to Sydney and he flew to Perth two days apart.

I thought he was saying that the Sydney address he used on his arrivals card from that time was the address of a female friend that came on a Greek ship, not Ilona

I don’t know, I honestly just don’t think he cares about other people.

Another bad woman: he thinks Ilona ran off with another man to Melbourne and that he was told she died in a car crash. Documents we found said heart attack at 31 years of age.

I must admit, although I didn't think her death was suspicious before, the way he mentioned her death, unprompted, made me very suspicious!

Every time Kim wheels around in her little chair I choose to believe that she's letting out a hidden laugh because she is on the brink at all times.

Why did you change your name? "Memories of the past, that's all."

Is he reading again? Coroner, please check his table!

Also, why isn't his lawyer present?

It’s how he accesses memories I think.

 

[vivienbee]

Oh god, so he has another child with Ilona.

 

[Belleandsebastian]

Wow, so Ilona's kid is his.

 

[SamintheSak]

Lies about employment, the addresses he lists on his application are the same as IK lists on her residence form as her address and her parents address in Belgium.

Another child ?

 

[Passingthru]

Oh god, so he has another child with Ilona.

I think she was pregnant at the time of her death maybe?
