Australia Australia - Marion Barter - Missing After Trip to UK - June 1997 #19

[ruby925]

I believe a member of the public / and the police (who knows which was first) located the phone number in the FR ad, that was attached to his coin business, and then the FR Aus driver license that was also linked to RB .. he then strangely volunteered that he knew her because he loves to insert himself into everything even when there is no need to .. bet he wishes he had kept his big fat mouth shut for once.

I must be in a bad mood cause I am going to have a dig at the "investigative Journalism" of TLV .. there was no need for them to travel to Luxembourg, they could have just visited the NSW library and figure it out a lot sooner, as some eggar listener did.

But didn't he first deny knowing MB to the police when they contacted him, then went to the station the next day to revise his statement and admit he knew her? Was the excuse that he didn't want his wife to know they had an affair? My memory on this may be wrong, others may have more accurate info. JMO

I have no problem with "the team" going to Luxembourg.

I do with the way that the real Fernand Remakel was approached. It was rude and offensive.

Couldn't agree more. I was blocked from TLV Facebook group for saying so.

Yes that was the excuse he made.

Interesting commentary on MPMB FB page. Law enforcement have not been keen to delve into AKA’s financial transactions since he is not living a lavish life. Outrageous that just because he appears to be a relatively unsuccessful crook, authorities aren’t interested.

There’s a second possible interesting link with Villeroy & Boch:

Histoire - La Porcelaine de Tournai

La Porcelaine tendre de Tournai (1751 – 1890) Fin 1750, début 1751 : Un certain François-Joseph Peterinck, né à Lille en 1709, marchand de charbon à Ath et ancien officier de l’armée française, marié à Anne-Marie Deswattines, rachète la manufacture de faïence de Carpentier pour y fabriquer en...

Heritage

Van gietijzer tot keramiekTijdens de Belgische revolutie in 1830 en in de periode van opstanden daarna (1830-1839) bezat de familie BOCH al een lange traditie op het vlak van de faience en veel strategische ervaring bij het inspelen op politieke en economische ontwikkelingen. Ze bouwde die...

In short:

Société Boch et Frères = the sons of Jean Francois Boch.

Jean Francois Boch = Villeroy & Boch.

Société Boch & Frères had a faience factory in Tournay.

I love this @Carovb5
I think you have nailed the reason why he chose this name for Marion

The Lady Vanishes: Marion Barter’s family split over what led to her disappearance

After 22 years, Sally Leydon’s determination to find her missing mother is as strong as ever - but some extended family believe she should 'let it go'.

From 2019. I think it's behind a paywall.

But interesting re the family dynamics at the time and the break up with Johnny Warren.

All good… Not behind a paywall

I agree with what J says here

The living frugally in the eyes of the neighbours, any Government handouts including medical, the façade they showed the outside world, wouldn't raise an eyebrow to the police. BUT if they were living in a luxury house with flash cars and dressed accordingly the Q would have been raised long before as to how it was possible to have all this living off the Government. She had a carers pension. That alone should have her hauled into Centrelink.
The kids play with the rich and famous, travelled the world, live in flash homes.
They all owned real estate in the same street - something else odd about this that was found but I am unsure if I am allowed to post it up.

Diane said he didn't have many wins - she knew he was a gambler - what other wins did she know about.

They portrayed what they wanted the world to see.

It was a game to them IMO

Ripping off people all their lives.

I said the wrong time before, it's now 8.17 and the episode starts at 8.40.

I made my hot drink too early

When I feel down because nothing seems to be happening, I think it could be worse, Mr AKA could have passed away without being held to account at all.

Think this is the first time I’ve watched Dancing with the Stars. Tipping I’m not the only one!

Same here.

The "stars" are unknown to me though I have heard of Paulini
Not sure who the judges are either.

Wow so many ads!

When trying to register from the UK it asks for a postcode but doesn’t recognise one. Is it looking for an Australian postcode?

It’s finished now. Might be better to watch on YouTube later on as there is probably less advertising. Anyway for next week, suggest you enter the postcode 2000 for Sydney city.

The Giant, with a limp!
