Australia Australia - Chantelle, 27, and Leela McDougall, 6, Toni Popic, 40, Nannup, 13 July 2007

I thought he had moved up to Mandurah pre-2007 based on this post

http://flyfishingtheglobe.net/11_05_06.htm

even though in his environmental consulting footprint he indicated that he was 'going to' pull up stakes from his homestead on the Blackwood River. Pricey lots?

I see now that Fairbridge Village is not far from Mandurah.


...


I think that your dads experience at Fairbridge Village is more interesting, subsequent to five minutes of research?
South Yunderup is in the Fairbridge Postcode 6208 and is a canal town at the mouth of the Serpentine River where every house is on a canal, and thus is popular for boat owners, who can tie up their boats and yachts a few metres from their back doors. It's not as expensive as the canal villages in the town of Mandurah either.

They apparently said to Leela's grandparents that they were leaving Nannup to stay in Floreat before traveling to Brazil
I presume that's what Gary told the rest of them, whether they actually did is a mystery

Thanks I missed that. I need to read it on a PC monitor.

So did they return to Nannup between the car sale and heading up to Floreat? The date on the note suggests that they did, but I always assumed they did not. Also, what vehicle were they planning on taking if Tony was giving them a ride?

I can't work out their logistics.

A very interesting link. thanks..
I wonder how many other properties he had access to, in his extended family?
Any in Floreat?
This link mentions a rental property in Floreat
http://www.mako.org.au/missing-Leela-McDougall.html

Thanks petedavo, I updated the timeline with a few missing details, and these reports indicate that they did not return to Nannup after selling the car. The letter must have been post-dated the 16th (another red herring).

Particularly interesting regarding the suicides in Canada and Mass. Thanks for posting.

I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find who the other person was from Massachusetts. I still haven't ruled out Christina's mom's partner of over 30 years as a possibility. He died a year after Christina (his obit is linked upthread). I think I need to get into a newspaper archive.

Good question. I have Floreat in my timeline but couldn't pin down a specific year.

Watergirl here are some notes to add to the timeline if you think relevant - all from various sources:

1998 GF as SK publishes Servers of the Divine Plan on the internet

Ms McDougall’s parents have accused Mr Kadwell of brainwashing and seducing their daughter when, as a 17-year-old, she started babysitting for him and his partner, Deborah, in 1998. The teenager had been introduced to Mr Kadwell and Deborah through friends in Victoria and would follow them to WA, Britain and back again.


2000 arrives to AU - Melb - NZ before?
2000 trip to UK with ex-wife?
2002 trip to UK with ex wife?


By September 2000, Mr Kadwell, Deborah, their son Daniel and Ms McDougall were living in WA. The same year, Ms McDougall, who was pregnant, and Mr Kadwell moved to a rented house in Floreat, where they continued to believe that the planet was on “red alert” and it was time for “awakening servers of the divine plan” to come forward. Mr Popic moved in with them.


In 2004, the group shifted to Nannup, where Ms McDougall worked at a fish and chip shop and taught swimming. Mr Popic lived in a caravan at the rear of their property. (Beth and Linden are the property owners)

trip to Canada?

It's worth noting some of these details have been taken off the short documentary on the first page of the thread. If the POI is local and furnished the TV producers with lies especially around that critical period on 13-14 July – it may be deliberately inaccurate. They jumped in a car in Busselton and Chantelle goes to the bank. I presume they drove back to Nannup because they would have had their wallers with them. How else could Chantelle bank the cheque? Therefore I suspect foul play from the afternoon of 13 July because surely a local person would have seen them later that day - if not on the morning of the 14th and IMO the last person to see them alive.

Thanks for the input. Dogs? That's new to me info for sure. Will review your notes and doco more closely and mosh it together this week.
 
  • #392
Yeah the doco mentioned 'prized dogs' so whoever bought them is a POI

Quite likely the Floreat thing is confusion. They probably never went back to Floreat in 2007 at all.
A funny thing, is that I got married in a church in Floreat in early 2000's. The priest owned a rental property in Denmark, later selling it. I wonder. I'll ask Reverend DT, if they were the ones that rented his Denmark property. It might give us insight if he knew what reasons they gave to move to Denmark from Floreat, besides Floreat being expensive.

Yah, good idea. They sure hopped around in those days. Wonder why...

I hadn't seen this one. It mentions Centrelink payments for Tony and Chantelle. Karlie Pierce-Stevenson was getting those... Are those welfare payments? Interesting that it says they are only missing 3 people.

http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2008-04-02/police-probing-disappearance-of-three-people/2390688
Yes, Centrelink is the Government Welfare Agency. Tony might of been on the dole or a disability pension. Chantele might of been on a partial dole or diddling a single parent pension, and would of got a family supplement payment for Leela. Gary would be unlikely to claim as he's not an Australian citizen and would've been keen to avoid having his Identity checked with British authorities if he made any claim to Centrelink or had to put in a Tax Declaration with the ATO IMO. Likewise I wonder if he ever saw a Dr in Australia? Not having a Medicare card would raise suspicion, if the Dr knew he was a long term resident.

Gary Kadwell was never reported missing by family. Tony Popic worked at the local hardware.

Here is a quote from the link thanks to watergirl62:

The house has since been cleaned and rented to new tenants, posing problems for forensic investigators.
Police say the bank accounts and Centrelink payments of Mr Popic and Ms McDougall had not been touched since they disappeared although their car had been sold a short time before their disappearance.

I wonder when the owners actually started to box up their belongings after the Nannup Four disappeared and if they contacted police and/or handed in their belongings as lost property and reported any suspicious circumstances. One presumes they settled their affairs with their landlord but cleaning up by others would affect their rental bond. I also wonder if someone who lived close by spoke to the owners and influenced their decision making sequence. The property owner's first names are referenced in the documentary - Beth and Linden. Linden may be easy to find - unusual name in a small town.

If she told her mom that they were planning on heading to Brazil for months, why are there dirty dishes left behind? That doesn't sound very planned to me. Why is her letter dated July 16 if they continued on north from Cheap cars? Did she think they were not leaving for a few days? I am assuming that the handwriting been verified as Chantelle's by her parents.

Something is very fishy [emoji226] about the whole scenario reported in MSM.
Too many facts contradict the MSM narrative of events timeline.
I'm inclined to agree with Paul that someone has skewed the story or duped the MSM. Can't be Gary, because he'd expose himself, and anyway There's been no proof of life in the following 10 years. It only leaves a nefarious actor who was on the ground at the time. IMO
