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

[Samroo]

Bewitched. By naked belly dancing.

No words.

This man is so pathetic, does he not recognise how pitiful and embarrassing these lies (IMO) are? His children… I really wonder what on earth they must be making of all this.

It sounds from what I understand that they were estranged for a while, so they might not be 100% surprised.

 

[Samroo]

I love how even the coroner is like “she what?!?!”

 

[vivienbee]

I was thinking brothers and sisters.

Yeah, I was just kidding!

Ooooh! I know where this dancing thing is going... in addition to trying to assasinate GGB's and JO's character for moving their hips... he might actually say Marion also 'danced'. We know she did ballet and had the ballet slippers.

Honestly, if he hates dancers so much, and they have loose morals, why keep chasing them?

 

[vivienbee]

WOW. No words.

It’s ALWAYS the woman’s fault according to him!

 

[Behrnsy]

Do you think they have a photo of him at the cathedral where ever it is.
And they are trying to get him to say he was never there with JO..
Because it was taken with/by Marion

This is better than watching Netflix, I wondered how long it would be until he insinuated she wasn’t a good belly dancer.

 

[Passingthru]

Amazingly I feel like we know less about him than when we started. So many complete and total fabrications that it just makes me question what we thought we knew. I mean, the core of him is a vile murderous conman, but at this point I’m questioning if he ever was born.

Good, I actually need a break. I can’t imagine how frustrating this back and forth is for Sally. All we have established so far is that Mr B is an unreliable historian with an alleged history of philandering and taking advantage of women.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

How about he saw JO belly dancing on a verandah in Lismore!

 

[Deleted member 249471]

RB, dude, give up the dancing angle. It doesn't mean what you think it means. Literally no one cares.

Does he have a fixation for dancers? I feel he probably terrorised real dancers back in the day. Might be worth researching dancers that disappeared back in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

 

[Passingthru]

I really hope JO knows (100% fully and down to her bones) that no one thinks he’s being even the least bit truthful.

 

[Eyespywithmylittleeye]

I picture something like this (left wooden image)

Yes however In my option that would be an antique sort the type you keep in your home not the sort you would store stuff in or ship anywhere oS

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Before he mentioned the bewitched part, I thought he was about to say he thought she was too fat or some put down about her appearance.
Then he changed tack.

tbh I'm starting to believe she did do the belly dancing (I'm about 12 mins behind atm)

lmfao the lady working with Casselden's face when he says he was bewitched, absolutely classic.

I feel like the belly dancing probably happened, but I'm not sure she actually wanted to make a career out of it lol

I think, in his quant misogynistic way, he’s calling her a . He’s using all these code words from the 50s and it’s just… so ridiculous.

“She bewitched me with her naked belly dancing” old mate DC looked like he was holding in so many words lol
