Australia Australia - Marion Barter - Missing After Trip to UK - June 1997 #17

[Eyespywithmylittleeye]

Things seem to be a hotting up, at least in the press.

Looks like The Australian is on the boil, interview with MS Reid, Interview with thingy (RB), Interview with Joni.

I wonder who will be next...

Please let it be DD

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Please let it be DD

Somehow I don't think it will be.

Unless it's one that tries to show that the RB she knows, would not have done any of those awful things.

I can see a lawyer wanting the family to speak about the husband and father they know in a positive way.

 

[Eyespywithmylittleeye]

Hopefully one of their adult kids who have grown a conscience now that the world can see what their "'father"' ( loose description) is

I don’t think even if they wanted to they could… the entire family has IMO benefited financially from what he’s done.. and the more we find the more we realise there has been a lot of money I mean a crap load (not earned legitimately /stolen from others) imagine being an adult and realising the properties you’ve bought, the ‘things’ you acquired through life from your parents was at the suffering of someone else.

Of course that’s assuming they did not know.. but you don’t need to be a genius to think hmm my parents are on a pension how does dad fly to Europe so often..buy so many houses..

Blinkers were on then and still are now it’s too huge, too far gone to take the blinkers off

Or they fear being poisoned by him so shut up :-|

A convicted conman questioned over the disappearance of a Queensland teacher spoke in horrifying detail about how to kill people with homemade poison, his daughter says.

Ric Blum gave evidence under oath at the inquest into the presumed death of Marion Barter that he met his daughter, Evelyn Reid, only once, as a baby, and had never seen or spoken to her since.

Yet Ms Reid has told The Australian of her as an adult making contact with Mr Blum, only to be terrified by his dark tales of torture and murder.

“I always thought I had a father out there and that if he knew how hellish my life was, he would come and rescue me from it,” Ms Reid said.

“So later on in life, I sought him out. He was a nightmare.

“He spoke in a manner about my dead mother that was utterly disgusting, said things that left me in a state of shock.

“I just really didn’t want to have anything to do with him.”

Years went by without further contact until a boyfriend insisted that engaging with her father could heal some of her trauma.

“So I sought him out again,” she said. “This time, I did get to see evidence of why I was so disturbed by him the first time around.

“He wanted to teach me how to poison people. I ended up being terrified.”

Police have contacted her only once, during the ongoing inquest into Barter’s disappearance, and had not taken a formal statement, she said.

There's more at the link.

Honestly, this is just heartbreaking.




SO MANY things need to be questioned - IF the Aust Government Bodies had DONE THEIR JOB in the 70's when he was flagged, these women would be alive today, and others not swindled out of their life savings!!!!!!

NO WONDER he chose Australia - it was an open door policy for criminals !!!!

And here we are in 2023, with so much publicity for the past what? 4 years? and STILL NO POLICE HAVE TAKEN A FORMAL STATEMENT from another two victims in all of this, Ilona Kinczel's daughter and son.


ER -
I want to say you are so brave and so strong for telling your story and exposing him for all to see.

How courageous to stand your ground and let other women know that there are monsters out there who have no morals and are less than human.

And how his failings as a human, do not in any way define you and who you are !

And HOW all of us, on this page dedicated to Marion Barter, Ilona Kinczel and all the other women we know about and to those that we are yet to discover, will expose him as the person he is.

And that he will never be remembered.

It will be these women that will always shine the light.



I just HOPE that AH and Dianes 2 adult children, who also reaped rewards thanks to their fathers scavenger hunts, will stand up and tell their story too. Because we all know DdeH wont be
This story is not going to go away.

Yes I wish we could put up what we have on this piece of manure.
And I REALLY HOPE the police are investigating the wife!!!!

I have a weird feeling that something is happening.
Why would he suddenly give an interview.

Something is up.
In my opinion.

Ego he’s a narcissist remember he can’t help himself

 

[TootsieFootsie]

The pressure is getting to him.

Maybe after the Dawson verdict he might be starting to worry.

 

[KiwiNZ]

I agree completely.
And so far we have 3 women including Marion (if JH is correct).

What was it then that would convince Marion to fly all that way home on the pretence of going to Bali???

JO Trip Itinerary: Bali, Amsterdam, and then England.

WHO does he know that is in the travel industry in Bali.....?

I can only think - if it was Marion she was desperate to keep hold of RB and would do anything he suggested, changing her name speaks volume to his control over her and the lengths she would go.

If it wasn't Marion and was someone else removing the money I still think the mention of Bali is important and gives some validity to JH's evidence

Without having the paper trial to prove it wasn't Marion - and who knows it might turn up, typically with these corporates you have to ask 10 times before they find it! - for a court case, JH's evidence as it is would be helpful as it does link nicely with the other victims' stories - asked to take money from their bank account, and a Bali link.

 

[KiwiNZ]

Thank you ER !!! heartbreaking what you have been through, I just hope life has been good to you in other ways.

Poison - clearly his go to choice of weapon - kill them slow let someone else find them, but where is Marion !!!

The x-rays make some sense if you believe he is such a narcissist that he wanted to check on his own handy work.

As for his "front family" - Clearly DH has been of use or assistance to him because she would have popped her cloggs long ago if she wasn't. As for his children, sure they have heard his "stories" no one can hide such a sick personality like RB's from just his direct family, if he is willing to share information / stories like that with an estranged daughter and the family of a victim (GD).

If I was DH or the children, I would be seriously concerned that RB could take DH out as a last act so she can't reveal what she knows.

Wow perseverance is paying off.
@mishy66 I'm sure the beautiful way you honoured IK would have let ER know in coming forward she was in a safe space, well done.
Hopefully RBs other children are starting to think about what side of history they want to be on.

 

[Martinie]

Wonder if this was after he procured the book?

And very interesting he wanted to make his daughter his poison protege.wonder which skills he might have passed onto other children.

It didn't say what uear she contacted him, did it?

 

[VisitorDog]

I understand you can’t post legally, but was wondering the reason why - is it non public record related information? Hope you don’t mind me asking.

 

[MrsWattle]

I wonder if he obtained poison in Bali from Goldsmiths or goldsmith supplies.

Whole villages in Bali, Mas and Celuk Goldsmith village where you can have anything made. Cough, cough coins.

 

[Belleandsebastian]

Is there a way to hide dirty money in Bali… does he have property over there, or does MDH? Where does all his money go… on paper he does not own his own home, right? I’m sure he bought MDH and DDH homes. I think he lives with MDH. Did he buy her home with the understanding that it was really his? So many questions.

 

[mishy66]

Ego he’s a narcissist remember he can’t help himself

TOTALLY!

He just COULD NOT help but share that he knew how to poison people. His mouth has been his undoing

 

[mishy66]

I understand you can’t post legally, but was wondering the reason why - is it non public record related information? Hope you don’t mind me asking.

I can't because it brings in a bunch of people that have not been mentioned publically - hopefully some will though!!!

IMO this is not a one man band.....
