Thank you for posting the transcript
@mishy66. Very useful information.
My thoughts regarding the hair colouring appointments. One thing about getting your hair coloured is that it usually takes at least a couple of hours & you are pretty much stuck in the hairdressers chair for this time.
With JO, she was meant to change her hair colour BEFORE her new passport photo, while for ‘Charlotte’ it was during her stay in Bali. So I don’t think it is solely about making them appear different.
I think it is about having the woman occupied for a considerable chunk of time that then allows Mr AKA to take advantage of her absence. For JO it might have been about having her away from her house so he could go through her papers and jewellery at his leisure. For ‘Charlotte’, it is about having her occupied away from the hotel room for an extended period of time so he can get his belongings, get to the airport and head directly to Australia without her having time to think and become suspicious. (This is most likely the entry into Australia via Perth airport that we have heard about previously.)
RB did not need to do this for Marion, as he most likely took advantage of her absences when she was teaching at TSS to sort through her papers & belongings and work out what was useful for him.
Also, I think that the correct name of the hotel in Bali is Taman Ayu.
MOO as always.
