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

THAT’S the testimony he wants to revise? That it wasn’t Euros that he smuggled into the country? That it was Belgian francs?

Can someone explain the room he was paying for? I missed it. Where? What timeframe? Is there a possibility he was hiding Marion in it?

It was when he was 'reading books' at his mates coin shop

I'm more than an hour behind in my livestream (damn work meetings) but I wanted to weigh in about the name change as I've observed this happen in my own family. I have a close relative just a few years older than Marion, who left her husband in her early fifties for another man, changed her surname by deed poll to be the same as his, and moved interstate to be with him, all without consulting him first. She thought he would be delighted and it would be a lovely, romantic surprise. He wasn't happy about it at all as she was much more invested in the relationship than he was. This was also in Queensland.

Marion was longing for another man in her life, she believed in marriage and she was a romantic. I could easily see her changing her name for similar reasons, without consulting "Fernand".

He's sounding a bit worried.

 

[mishy66]

Nope, because he couldn’t.
But I think the gist of it was “a place his wife didn’t know about with a phone line that was traced to the advert”

oh really!? I didnt get that at all hahaha. I will have to revisit it later

I think it must have RB who convinced her to change her name, purely because of the extremely similar initials (hers including M). There has to be some significance of this i.e. somehow being able to access something under Remakel with the same initials (like when you get post and it's listed as J. Doe.)

Point to note... Belgium didn't get euros until 2002!!!! Lying or did he just forget

Hahahaha, clearly someone in his fam is reading this and texted RB to correct his testimony!

Kim has mentally checked out, I reckon she's playing Pokemon Go under her desk. The poor guy to Casselden's right is losing the will to live.

His patterns are showing, his pauses, mumbles, fading out, fake counting, etc. Keep wearing him down!

$20k belgian francs in 95 was about $783.59 in australian dollary doos. (About $1,442.01 today)

The fact that Marion had changed her name, prior to marrying before, leads me to believe that she decided on her own to change it to Remakel, after believing that there would be a marriage.

Casselden: coupons? Hahahaha

He also may have been counting on “that’s an error, it was Florabella it was Ferdinan. They screwed it up and I’ve been trying forever to correct it.”

I do see this as a possibility, but I don't get why she would change her whole name this time without some kind of prompting.

I am not so convinced as per my earlier post.
Although she was a true romantic, she is a smart girl. I am of the belief that RB somehow convinced her to do this for some reason based on him gaining something. No doubt it will all come out soon....

Why were you in Sydney and not in Ballinard “because you don’t where you eat and I’m more anonymous there”

 

[mishy66]

More advertisements placed! Of course there would be! That would be his way to find lonely vulnerable women!

 

[Passingthru]

Not even sure if that piece of paper in Callenden’s hand is relevant or just a prop.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I must be mad or it just isn't showing on my laptop screen and I was and am reluctant to post and ask.


But the Coroner isn't showing on my screen. I heard her voice.

Help, where is she, pretty please

She’s only briefly been on screen.
