Australia Australia - Marion Barter, 51, missing after trip to UK, June 1997 #15

His singing testicle lover has a bigger hand to play in all of this IMO and we have only heard the tip of the iceberg.

This made me LOL.
And yes, I do think she has a bigger hand to play. In her evidence, she said that she had no further contact, on her behalf, with RB after she found out he was 'married'. But, HE kept writing to her, and he believed she was his 'best friend'. There's a fantasy, and THEN there's an unrealistic fantasy. I think, IMHO, they were communicating on some level way past when she found out he was married. When and why it stopped, I have no idea.

My post from 18 July;

Would RB in his warped mind consider that poisoning or drowning someone is not physically hurting them?

RB - what an absolute hideous man, he is just nauseating

What's with the liver scan - he sounds like Hannibal, checking his preys organs

If his family don't say what they know, and they know, then they are as bad as him

I only just started the episode and my mind is already exploding. How was allowed to get away with this for sooooo long. Police everywhere kept being notified about him! So much negligence. I know it’s really hard to charge and convict for manipulating people into handing over their own money and belongings, but RB is clearly a very dangerous man who shows no regard to people, property or the law. I’m so mad. Ok thanks for listening to my TED talk, I’ll go finish the episode.

Still conning vulnerable and lonely women when aged 67. When did this guy finally retire from conning women in Europe and Australia? How many Police jurisdictions have info on this guy but haven’t joined them up together? Put his name & photo on the front of page of every mainstream newspaper in the UK and rest of Europe.

I am always of the opinion that when you look back at cases where someone is “allowed” to get away with something for so long, corruption and/ or incompetence raises it’s head. IMO. MOO

I would definitely be looking into a potential case in 2012, when RB arrived in Perth, Australia declaring €50,000 (of supposed inheritance) and then also supposedly being attacked in a Gold Coast car park (somewhere near the casino) and ”losing“ this uninsured windfall. Being “attacked“ in possession of money and/ or documents is also now clearly part of his MO.
IMO

Hahaha, I was so wrong about many things I theorised about earlier today, before the latest episode came out.

I’m still mad and hate this man so much. Seeing as Australia has him pinned by the collar for the first time since the early 1980s, we better get this right and he better receive jail time and get everything he deserves. Absolute monster.

It's such a shame that the case has not had much coverage in Kent/Sussex. I can't believe he hasn't had any victims here. It needs someone with a voice to take it up. The man who used to present the local ITV evening news, does some true crime programmes, I wonder if he would be interested. I can't remember his name.

 

[Deleted member 249471]

Isn’t there enough evidence now that RB targets and deceives women for the purpose of financial gain? And has committed extensive immigration and ID fraud? And that Marion is deceased and he was her last contact, posing as her lover while actually scamming her? And after her money was withdrawn, she was never seen again?

Everyone in Europe needs to run this story to their local new station and show his face everywhere to find anymore potential victims.

IMO we might see it all kick off once the Inquest’s outcome has been released.

Well it seems he knows a lot about poisons...

 

[HinterlandObserver]

Why the liver scans?
Knowing his obsession with appropriation I wonder what story the poison comes in from and what would be his poison of choice?

I’m really mad, too. Apart from his preying on Marion and other vulnerable women in the most awful way (lying, faking love!, stealing, taking compromising photos, making threats, isolating, ‘relocating’, etc etc), he seems to put a lot of time into sniffing out loopholes, exposing all the failings of bureaucratic stuff in multiple countries. Pension, Carers pension, the I.D. confirmation protocols for banks, immigration, transport authorities, airlines, etc etc.

Sorry for the rant- I’m still going!

I Hope the Coroner recommends (I’m not sure of the right word) that police keep investigating Marion’s disappearance and the ATO/Centrelink investigate to ensure tax payer dollars haven’t been, um, misdirected.

Excellent question- I want to know too.

 

[hahahils]

Oh god please don’t let be an organ harvest thing in Korea, Indonesia/ Bali. Drug people up in a foreign country to the point of over dose or near death and then sell their organs as you are their ‘next of kin’ - no hassle. Far fetched I know…

 

[Belleandsebastian]

Excellent question- I want to know too.

Maybe he wanted to know how far he could push it with the poison/drugging before it was fatal?

What's to say he hasn't stopped? His face definitely needs to be everywhere in any country he's gone to

My thoughts too.

What the actual f is wrong with the Aust Police system and the international system to allow a pig like this to get away with a life of crime when they had all the links under their useless noses!!!

We have ALL speculated that there would be dozens of Marions out there and now we have more coming out to share stories that are so familiar.

Marion went missing in 1997

He meets JO 1999 through her ex husband coin dealer and their mate Barry Cooper - she reports him 2000


Meets GGB through her advert in 1999 giving him her bank card and him stealing 30K from her to 'set up a business" and blackmails her by taking explicit photos of her naked and tells the inquest she thought he drugged her.


2006 - Meets GD Belgium through her advert - follows the same MO to try and swindle another innocent victim

2022:
While the police are useless in connecting the dots on these cases I ask this:

WTF is the Aust Government doing to investigate the FACT that we have a so called "Carers" pension being paid to a woman who's husband is capable of flying all over the world stealing from women, gathering up their family heirlooms to ship to his 'accountant' ( Hello V. Ware ) all these years, and including paying a pension to this pig of a human being!

I mean THAT alone warrants an arrest !!!! Both of them swindling the Australian Government since the 70s.
HOW did their families and friends expect all these trips OS to be paid for when they are getting tuppence on 2 pensions!?


WHEN are you ..... relatives of !!!! , going to step up and be truthful about what you all know!!!!

DdeH is as guilty as he is IMO. She would have to be blind deaf freddy not to know what the hell has been going on all these years!!!!!

He has a person helping him, I am convinced of that.
