It's strange about the Blum x Cornelius plaque . Why wasn't it noticed when Alison Sandy and the podcast team went to see her at home when they were investigating in Europe ?

JMO and we can't re-wind the past but it was a terrible error to 'doorstep' the Remakels and also to go head on into MC. A little bit of surveillance and digging around and detective work would have been more fruitful maybe?

SL mentioned the name was cover with a sticky residue, like a sticker had been over it - so possibly it was covered.

And IIRC she also commented that RB had not lived in Luxembourg since long before formally changing his name to Blum.

Sal said she took a photo of it, but it hasn't appeared on any of her socials.

What do we know about Monique Cornelius?
How many times was she married?
Does she have children?
What is her employment history?
Does she own property in any other countries?
Where and when has she travelled?
I wonder about her aliases… and if anyone can confirm what country she was in when Marion “vanished”…
I'd need to listen to the episode again, but IIRC when she was told by the TLV team about a man in Australia using her husband's identity, not a flicker. Only later did she throw RB under the bus, where he belongs.

I'm not as clued up on this case as you all but I thought it was interesting that on Ancestry I found a Manon Remakel in Luxembourg phone book indexes for 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2003. It's the only result for that name in all records for all years.

I know Manon is a name, but I also thought it could be a mistranscribed 'ri' as an 'n' in Marion.

I can't see the actual address, it's redacted, because I don't have an international membership.

I do, so I could check, and the listing doesn't give any more details although it does cite the formal source:


I checked with Joni whether she had come across this, and she had. She says "Ah yes, I emailed back & forth with Manon years ago as I found this curious too , is a legitimate Luxemburger. Keep looking as I really think the answer is somewhere !"

Is MC still alive and well and 'with us' in this life?

I recall she claimed to be shook up, at risk of harm from RB, etc, she also made claims that we can never prove are true, that she had written an account of everything she recalls to the police and that she can no longer discuss it due to the stress and trauma it causes her.

If she was his accomplice then this is a crafty way of claiming to be a responsible upstanding citizen whilst covering up anything that needs to be covered up. We have no legal right to ask any police force if they have received information from MC. Dead end. How very convenient.

I wonder what the 'real' Mr Remakel would say. If he has got thoughts after all this time?

JMO MOO
I've always believed she speaks as much manure as AH himself.
It was always a checkmate for me with those two.

The dates of AH and Dags living there/ the dates of the affair and the "shock" of her "overhearing he was married on the phone" ( please give me a break)

The letter - dated AUGUST 1980 - she kept for decades as a type of security should he ever throw her under the bus

HIS absolute shock on his face that day when AC read out his letter to her - it was complete betrayal on his face and he was shocked his lover would out him.

Her knowing he would never refute anything she said because anything he said would incriminate himself.

Dags flew back into Aust Jan 1981 while heavily pregnant towing a toddler, then flew back out to Lux in time to have M in the April. Probably knew about the affair and high tailed it home.

DdeH at inquest, " he promised he wouldn't be bad again".

MC -
looked after son D when Dags was having daughter M, April 1981
The same woman who initially said she realised he was married when she babysat a little boy that looked EXACTLY like him and once she knew he was married called it off.

Then says she heard him on the phone talking to his wife.. . and called it off. Phone? Where? Her place, his place? a phone box ? his Spy Shoe ?
Oh excuse me while I just call my wife in this phone booth as we wander the streets together, as I point out to you what bank I bank at.:rolleyes:

He did "work" with both their mates, found her clothing she wanted and posted to her when he was staying in her house.. She knew him intimately. Of course she knew all about his family.

MC says she had asked her ex FR to check out AH as she was suspicious of him and they were all on good speaking terms.... she says that was when FR licence was stolen.......huh???

AH says he met FR and MC through his furniture business.

FR says he had never met AH and had no idea his wife and AH had an affair.
SL has said FR had NO idea about his license being stolen until police contacted him in 2021.
(wonder if FR and MC are still "on good speaking terms" - doubt it)


IF MC knew all this, WHY not discuss it back when TLV team first approached her...

The same lady who when approached by TLV team and asked do you know a man named FR who lives in Australia.
MC - "never heard of him"

THE SAME name as her ex husband.

KNOWING full well she had a past lover, who was, in her words, a " lying thieving murderer " living in Australia.

Just the name of her ex husband, knowing TLV were talking possibly about AH, knowing he lived in Australia and knowing the ex's licence was stolen , knowing he was a "killer", "a liar", " a danger to women", should be enough to say, yes I may know someone you talk of, come in and lets chat.

The same woman who AFTER the brave women started sharing their stories, and had no doubt been watching the inquest, finally gave up a little of her life with him by producing the ONE thing that would corner him, the letter dated August 1980. Something she saved for a rainy day.

MC , "are you sure the name was Marion" when questioned by TLV team. Does the name Florabella Natalia Remakel ring a bell. MC = "never heard of that name – Natalia never heard of it".

MC says the real FR and her divorced 1985

The real FR says they separated in 1977and they divorced 1989

MC says she was lonely and divorcing her first husband when she met AH......

BUT the 2nd furniture business she knew he was involved with was 1980 ( she also talks about him stealing from peoples homes in the UK and transporting it all back to Belgium in the late 1970's ) - the divorce didn't happen until 1989 ......So near on 10 yrs before any divorce happened

AH is still writing to her when they are in Tasmania 1990 to 1992 - to me that doesn't sound like she called it off, her words, "straight away".


AH and Dags lived in Itzig from 1980 to 1983 , MC lived around the corner from them.

The second furniture business he opens up in 1980 / 81 with furniture imported from Yugoslavia - he drove to the furniture business in Noertzange each day.
Opens another business up the road in Schifflange

1983 - store went into bankruptcy - :rolleyes:more like phoenixing funds.

FR had his own business, a gallery /bookstore a few minutes up the road, opened in 1976
He takes his ANNUAL HOLIDAY from July 28 to August 16 1980

Roughly this general area of distances


MC did you ever come out to Australia ? Love to know the answer to that one.

Not surprised in the least.

Wouldnt put it past MC to be the one coming in on MB passenger card.

But then I've always believed MB never returned to Australia. I know I'm pretty much rowing my own boat on that theory.
MC and AH are a match made in heaven. Both cunning, liars who have had half a lifetime of romance.

She produces a letter at the most convenient time, one she has held onto for decades. Why? When she outed him to be a murderer and a liar?

Possibly because a Trump hand produces silence on his end.

Can't imagine him saying it was MC that used that passenger card.

Because if that was the case, where's Marion?
Have to have MB back here to make it all work for him. Nothing to see here. MB returned on her own and withdrew all her money and lived her life on her own terms, "You won't hear from me for a while".

The stolen ID of FR would have been the first part of the plan.

All would have worked out, except J found his Advert, SL picked up the reins and MC spent the years hiding out in Europe until such time she ever needed to raise her trump hand to protect her own interests.

MC had the opportunity to help SL face to face but chose to remain behind closed doors.
Kind of odd given she tells the world her lover was a lying murderer and the daughter of a missing women is asking for help.

"He could kill. He could kill!"

Come forward MC and tell the truth. Because you are as bad as your lover is.

MOO

The names have indeed been covered up at one time. Cornelius has been written in marker pen you can still see it.
I wonder if MC is still living there.

I hope I'm not out of order for doing this, but I'm curious. I Googled the area following Sally's Insta post and found the house they are walking up to. Google says image captured June 2024. Anyway, the stonework on this image above doesn't match the house. At all. Unless I'm totally missing something. I know it doesn't make much difference really, I'm just nosey. The brickwork around that bell looks more commercial to me.

If you google her name & search her then found adress in Google maps, you see a building with those exact stones. But: in the june 2024 picture you see they got rid of the doorbell. There appears to be nothing than discoloration from it hanging there for years. In the other available picture (sept 2009) the doorbell is there & matches the doorbell picture.

The instagram footage doesn’t match. My guess is that’s footage of Blums (or whatever) appartment to give MC some privacy…

All smoke and mirrors as @Carovb5 says

They are walking up to RB old house at 22 Rue des Muguets Itzig
 
  • #493
MC said she knew his criminal acquaintances so has she divulged any of these names to Law Enforcement in her native Luxembourg or to NSW Police? Have NSW Police even asked her following that comment made on the TLV podcast?

The refusal to be questioned even by video link at the Coroner’s inquest says much to me. As Mishy states she knows she has him by the short & curlies by releasing that love letter to the inquest. And he still denied it was a sexual relationship! What was it then? A business relationship?!

I’m still struck by her resemblance to Marion although MC is blonde.

Thanks Mishy. I've been looking at that address for ages today trying to see around the bushes and (oh wait, I was looking at the house across the street with bushes out front) FFS :( Time to step away from the screen I think.

LOL all good

All this reminds me of the "white house" saga way back and when sleuth KIWI found it. I dont know why its all smoke and mirrors because people aren't stupid. IF they dont want to show the places because of privacy then dont post street images 🤷‍♀️

This case has been going on for decades and still playing smoke and mirrors. 2nd podcast and still no answers, its like playing chess

Ridiculous.

Agree @Lord Peter Flimsy
When is it all going to be investigated

I'm looking at the June 2024 Google street view image of number 13, and the entry buzzer with its name plate does seem to be there. I'm looking from the side so I can see the right side of the door frame side-on to the door. It breaks up the brick line, like on SL's photo, so there is definitely something on the wall. Not sure it's allowed for me to post a zoomed-in pic but here's the link:
