Court has resumed.

Another incredible woman

When re-listening to the inquest and Ddh speaking, the way she sounded when answering questions about Marion, my gut tells me that she knows a lot more about what happened with Marion and her money than what she's letting on... She looks enough like her to do a few bank visits, talking to the tellers and making a story, so they would remember her as "Marion" and allowing her to take the cash out. Maybe RB had a fake licence made up with her pic to withdraw the cash. I could be totally wrong though. I just can't imagine how she thought they could afford everything they done on pensions alone and not question how they could live the way they did. There's so many things going through my mind about this, it's hard to write it out.

100% agree

Thank you so much to the sleuths for posting up the inquest to us who couldn't watch it.

And Mrs Flamme, bless her cotton sox!!! Another brave strong woman.

He put her through hell all those years ago and his doing has found her here, many years later, advocating for all women who have been caught in his net.

All these women standing alongside each other in solidarity up against the worst of what is a human being.
Marion Barter and Ilona Kinzcel are standing with you Mrs Flamme!

Her facial expressions are gold!! What an amazing person being up to assist!

Ghislaine Dubois-Danlois has told the NSW Coronrer's Court that Blum took €70,000 and two trunks of valuable belongings from her.

Is there any reason why this couldn’t be more inclusive/DDA compliant for Madame Flume? Taking into account her age, health, hearing and tech capacity, I mean.

Personally I’d like to see the questions asked to Agnes in a more simple manner.
She is an elderly lady, it’s difficult hearing through a computer and it’s the middle of the night.

Agnes is well and truly alert and aware and a bloody legend for testifying but I’d just like Casselden to not ask his questions in such a long winded manner.

Imagine she is his grandmother and then speak JMO

It was possible to get a drivers license with a wrong photo back in the 90s. I may have had friends that did it to get fake IDs when they were underage. You would go to the desk with your information and they’d give you a ticket to get your photo taken at a different desk. The desk that took the photo never checked your documents again and you weren’t escorted. It is possible for Marion to go there saying she lost her license ( prob stolen by RB) then she’d collect the ticket for the photo desk. RB then says he has an emergency and they have to come back. He gives the ticket to DdH and she gets the new photo.
Far fetched but completely possible.
I remember by 2002 that process had changed. This is Vic tho not sure about NSW.

I really feel for her. It's hard to watch

Agree! I’m watching a room full of people half her age sure even the time could have been better suited for Agnes rather than a time in Australia that is clearly late for witnesses in europe.

I noticed that someone wrote that this lady's surname is Plume but I have always thought it was Flamme.

Apparently her daughter is Agnes Plume.
