Thanks for referring the video. I am watching it now, but isn't it a shame even more new mis-reportings are creeping in. I feel like I want to start a corrections bot to keep everything on track (especially re the $500 vs $5000 discussion, or the 3 days vs 8 days discussion). This episode says MC was the widow of the real FR. It's little muddying-of-the-water things like that which have plagued this case since the first day.

20,000 acres of red cedar trees .
Australia - Australia - Marion Barter, 51, missing after trip to UK, June 1997 #6
Does anyone remember where his supposed land was with all the trees. Does it actually exist - not that it is his but an area that has trees like he said. It's a huge red flag for me I keep thinking about it. There's always a pinch of truth to these types of people's lies. I wonder if it's a...www.websleuths.com
20,000 trees or 20,000 acres of trees? Just had a cursory glance on google maps and it looks like there's way too much national park for any private person to own 20,000 acres around there (maybe I'm wrong).
I’m not sure if acres or trees? I would agree that either way it’s very unlikely a private person would own something like this. Most of the big old logging properties have been sold off anyway to my knowledge. I’ve heard through small town gossip that some of the big ones are now publicly owned. There seems to be a thread of truth that runs through many of the lies. With Armidale and Nymboida so close together, it makes you wonder what the true connection is to this area.
I wonder where his wife’s parents lived? There would have been no shade on Ric in 2013
Nymboida ….right next door to Grafton (her Medicare card was used there)..The thing about the cedars at Nymboida.
I was thinking that he was just big noting himself (as usual).
But what if he did have some "trees" somewhere, at least on paper.
I'm not sure if any plans were going back then, but there were schemes where the government paid you to grow trees on your property.
What if he took up an offer like that, but there was actually no property or trees.
Or would he have been too honest for something like that
I’ve been following from the beginning a few years ago but loads of things/details pass me by…. some things stick however : it’s fascinating how everyone’s ears are tuned into different details.. it must be the previous experience with certain similar situations that stay in your memory easier?
The things that stick out to me personally are;
Lol the guy spends his time conning women, promising them a new life of love in a foreign country there’s no way he would have any woman he has fed his lies to come to his home where his wife and children live..JMO
Or… unless he thought perhaps they had something that could have tied him to knowing her.. so he spun his stories to ‘cover’ himself incase
Yes or perhaps sold something of hers antiques? Artworks? China? that can be linked back to him being the seller?Who's to say that Marion didn't know about the Remakel name through the world of soccer that she had once married into.
Even a rare name is not evidence that it's a slam dunk that it was anything to do with RB.
Something scared RB into admitting he had known Marion and I don't think it was because of the Remakel name.
My guess is he had kept something of hers. Maybe he took photos
SL is very clear it was $5k per day, she has repeated this just a few days ago on the FB page and says the $500 came from MB's father when he was dealing with the Salvation Army.
I'm still holding on to the -- Marion ran a personal ad -- story of how they met. BUT the antiques would have been the perfect way to her heart. @TootsieFootsie, I can just hear RB telling her that he's an antiques authority and would love to give her an evaluation of what she has. An antiques dealer or collector seems like a safe kind of guy from the get-go.
It would be a really useful “in” for RB as well - great way to assess if the woman has assets of value. And if she didn’t have assets of value he could just ghost her after that.
