Australia Australia - Marion Barter - Missing After Trip to UK - June 1997 #20

[mishy66]

Blum did talk to his daughter Evelyn about a female he conned, I wonder what victim he was referring to.

Mmm. horse race type of bloke finding target victims who were wealthy and vulnerable. Or would he have answered an ad for handyman in a wealthy area?
Any other clues?
Mmm ?
wine bottle
Stolen jewellery.

EKR met up with him over 20 years ago she said Mrs Wattle, so it won't be that missing lady from 2014

And if you recall the name change in 2014 related to RPubs.

Not sure what update they have done on that Timeline from yesterdays post but they havent changed any of the errors from what I can see

Hi Diane,

Were you involved with the The White Light Spiritualist Church at all??

Love you to answer that, put my mind at rest

Hi, all.. long time follower with change of account name (malfunction of technology!).
While looking for Belgium missing women online, I found a trademark registered with RB, Suffolk Park near Ballina as the registered owner. I don’t really understand the trademark business and was just curious if anyone has previously found this..

One of the interesting things about the Spotlight program was SL again explaining that Marion told SL husband to leave while he was helping her pack up.
It was the same night SL sees Marion with the man in her car.
This was midweek
So again, Marion picks up AH from public transport and possibly needed fuel afterwards ( closest fuel station to her home) for her trip into Brisbane the following few days.

Thanks for this @Kaypee3
I must have missed it before so it's new news to me!

Haha, I think AKA has had so many fingers in so many pies, it’s easy to overlook or miss things

Toots !

@KiwiNZ found it last April / May I think it was and you commented on it or liked it

In your defence though there has been a shipload of information in the past 12 months !!
We all have brain drain from him!

Took me a while to find, but the series is called "1985".

Coincidentally, SBS have released a series on the Brabant killers today! View attachment 430408

MPMB FB page has just shared the latest promo video for part 2 of Spotlight. Towards the end there is footage of DdH being questioned in the Coles car park. Interesting that she’s alone. Wonder how much longer AH has in respite care.

It involves mental gymnastics doesn’t it. Part of his plan, no doubt. Hard to keep up. What a wicked brain he has.

Is RB his retirement name?! Did he retire after ‘Charlotte’ in 2012 or do we believe other victims are lurking after that?

I still ponder DdeH stating at the inquest that AKA wasn’t a violent man. I always think back to Sonia Sutcliffe the wife of the Yorkshire Ripper who was unaware of his serial killing.

It is possible to live with a deviant psychopath and not realise it? Whether DdeH is in that category of women I’ll let others decide.

 

[Martinie]

I see he changed his name from WD Coppenolle to RB in 2014.

Sussspeect! I wonder if she had any old coins laying around...

The Lady Vanishes: A timeline of convicted conman Ric Blum’s life, many aliases and association with missing Marion Barter
updated yesterday

Reading through Ric Blum's timeline made me giddy. How on earth he had managed to fit all of that into one lifetime is incredulous.

One thought I had while reading it was that he was placed on a disability pension following his horse riding accident while with the Belgian Gendarmerie .
He would more than likely still be receiving this pension. Would he still qualify for a Centrelink Disability Pension in addition to this???? not really sure, thoughts please! Would this also be a reason that he has traveled back and forth to ensure he continues to get the Belgium pension (in addition to fleecing people as well of course)

First wife and 2 children.. what became of them? will do a search of the forum to see if it has been discussed before.

YOU COULDN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP IF YOU TRIED. Is anyone else guilty of trying to tell someone about this case who hasn't heard of it before and noticed after a few minutes that they drift off? I am sure they are calling BS on what you are trying to tell them.

I am a somewhat newcomer to this case, and honestly I'm still struggling to get my head around it all

I am on the fence with DdeH. I can only pass judgment on how she presented in the witness box and that was of a VERY submissive wife who would not ask questions. She appeared to be very naive and insular. IMO a classic example of a woman who has lived her life with a Mysoginistic Husband. I feel she knows more but will not speak for fear of repercussions. With a bit of luck, AKA will be confined to 4 walls before long, however, who knows what threats may have been made as many of us believe he hasn't worked alone.

Yes, another cold case that is very mysterious.

If an author approached a publisher with this story they would probably say it’s too far fetched. If AKA is in any way linked to the events in Belgium in the 1980s that would really blow my mind.

RSVP perhaps? He has been suspected of using this platform
