I keep checking Youtube but it's not up there so far.

And why did Alison Sandy include his comments on the podcast??
To prove how much of a knob he is & to fortify the fact that Sally has been on her own without any family support sadly (except for her hubby & kids of course). JMO

Couldn't agree more. I was blocked from TLV Facebook group for saying so.
I’m not sure how else they would’ve achieved answer’s without knocking on his door. After all, it did get them to where they are now. The police were not doing anything at all. It forced the NSW Police to act.

It wasn't the fact that they knocked on the door.
It was the straight out accusation that he put the ad in the Australian paper.

When trying to register from the UK it asks for a postcode but doesn’t recognise one. Is it looking for an Australian postcode?
I’m in Australia… didn’t have any issues… sorry

You’ve got to expect that with this kind of program. At least they might pick up a lot more viewers and interest in this case having it run over 2 weeks. The more publicity the better. There have to be more victims out there.

They went to Mr Remakels house and knocked on his door and the first words to him were that "you put an ad in an Australian paper"

I don't know how anyone else would react to being accused of something they didn't do.

Can someone please put it up on YouTube? I follow a podcast called The Gentleman of Heligoland and the last ep did make me wonder if there was any connection… but then I thought I was being too fanciful!

The only ones who can put it on YouTube are Channel 7.

They would have a copyright on it.

Yes I can see that Spotlight would have to start from the beginning.
I hope this gets more information coming out.
And more who might recognise him.

I would have done exactly the same thing. They were acting on information that connected him to Marion. If they didn't pursue it would they have found out that AKA had stolen his identity?

Last Sunday's Spotlight episodes went up on YouTube 4 days ago, so it might be a bit of a wait for this one to go up,

The Giant, with a limp!
He disappeared in 1986 from Belgium.
As I mentioned previously, I looked into the Brabant gang a year or so ago and discounted AKA as LeGéant as he was reported to be 6’ 5 » in most reports. I don’t know why Liam said AKA was 6’4 » he is more like 6’2 ». Not many witness statements about LeGéant mention a limp and in some reports it’s uncertain if they are even referring to Le Géant. Le Géant was also reported to have a wine stain birthmark in some reports. My view is that it was a gang of multiple tall criminals also with one being exceptionally tall. I have always Felt AKA was connected in some way…just not Le Géant.
I see a strong chance of Le Géant being « The Gentleman of Heligoland »

They could have asked him if it was him who put the ad in. The words were that you put an ad in.

I thought it was the wrong approach to accuse him, because even then I had my doubts that it would have been him.

I thought they handled it unfairly then, and I still think that.
