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:

Yep that's the zoom I've looked at back and forth for some time.

I tend to agree with @carovb in that it looks to be removed in the June 2024 image and only the markings left of the plate is showing on the stone wall.

It is blurry so it might be that the plate is there. Just not clear to me.

I would expect the sun hitting it and shining off the metal

I was wondering given they are engraved, if they get removed to do engraving or maybe are removed with the people who sell up? Because no one would be having other peoples names on their doorbell plate if moving ?

If it was removed, wouldn't the mortar between the bricks be exposed as a continuous line? In the image something is still covering the line.

I think we may both be losing our reason!

If the Blum name is on the nameplate someone will have to remind me when he was first known to have started using that name?

Surely MC never knew him as Blum as their ‘relationship’ ended long ago, or did it?

I don't know, but I just looked at this timeline for the first time in a long while, and as a cold read it is a good reminder that it's probably impossible to know!

It is a good reminder of his long history

Some errors in the reporting though

From memory when some of us researched Renov Pubs way way back, there was only 2 names linked to it. Willy Coppenolle and then FdeH as administrator.
Things then moved pretty quickly before, during, and after the inquest.
Blum added to the deH, and bye bye Willy.


In my head I have 2014 for the Blum name but would have to check.

In any case 50 odd years later and it still is an active "business " , must be very important to him

Would I use an accountant to change the names on something like that?

It’s very possible it just looks removed but isn’t, like you say!
I don’t think it matters much. If it was for him & no one else, i would’ve, if i was MC, gotten rid of it as soon as the case blew up. I WOULD loooove to know when the “Blum” was added!
Imagine having neigbours & victim families on here ! Feels like waiting for justice from Australian or Belgian court will be long or never-happening.

It is worth mentioning: Itzig is a place in/piece of Hesperange (town). In Hesperange lives a photographer named L. Blum. So imo he needs to be ruled out to be the blum on the doorbell…

Two mail boxes, so apartments? Obvs AH wouldn't be living there, but maybe he owns one/all? There are businesses listed at the address, although I can't find info on owners.

Can I ask how many?

I recall in the TLV podcast I think it was, MC said he rented a place from her.

Not sure if it would be this one though ?

If this is the same place she resided when SL went over with TLV team then I doubt he is renting here. Probably another Blum connected to one of them.?

More likely, he rented from her, his old place where he lived with Dags???
Wouldn't that be something if so!

I cant see him owning this residence to be honest. Not with what's gone on at inquest.

One is listed as MC (just her name).
Excel Export (under scientific and technical services/Legal Services)
and the third is Spullkescht Kanalreinigung U. Kanalsanierung which looks like pipe & sewer cleaning.

I just want to go back to this page and all the posts that led from the White Magic Book and these two

And THEN leading into their friend SB, U.M. and the posts on Ketamine, which for some of us, believe it is the drug used by AH.

The posts and links are already on the previous thread pages , and there are many that lead into a huge rabbit warren, that can get you lost

but for a refresher - Ketamine
Ketamine is a fast-acting anesthetic and painkiller used primarily in veterinary surgery.
Ketamine prepared for medical use is a colourless, tasteless and odourless liquid that can be injected. Ketamine is usually converted into a white powder before it is sold illegally. It may also be sold as capsules or tablets. The powder can be mixed into drinks or dissolved for injection

and U.M. Cult Leader SB from Alstonville, amongst other places known to AH, and SB mate Dr MS




In this article ( which is also linked on previous thread) it talks about SB fall out

The B's had employed a solicitor by the name of Niebling to register the company before the elderly Mrs Benhayon became the director of the new sports company. Niebling has sat on the board of several companies with M. Featherstone. M. Feathestone is the director of Phoenix Global- utilized recently by Universal Medicine to remove search results from Google and undertake ‘investigative work”- and who was recently arrested for fraud related offences.


MF was a Nth QLD cop and then Gold Coast Detective based in that region at the time and prior to MB going overseas

There are dozens of media reports about MF and his wife and son who was also a TSS student and a competition swimmer like someone else kids we know ( not at MB time)
but MF was connected to TSS at the time MB was there and had the means and ability to perhaps give "advice" to hierarchy at the TSS school. It is a possibility in my theory and I believe AH knew MF. JMO

The Boiler Room Scams
Too many media links to post up ( some are on the previous thread)




Mr Kane gave evidence he was offered a paid job by Mr Featherstone for a director position of a Gold Coast investment company.
The pair had previously met after Mr Featherstone helped Mr Kane with issues around his personal injury claim following a serious accident in 1998.
Mr Kane gave evidence he often had to sign cheques and sort out issues around credit cards and PIN numbers with banks.
“My independent memory is so many staff were quite careless with numbers and banking management”

He met with Z Featherstone several times in 2013, who requested that he perform tasks like signing documents and fixing “token and credit card” issues.
“It was things like signing an ASIC document or take some documents to … insolvency people so they could … liquidate the company or phoenix it,
“Just being available and trustworthy to what was asked". (Dont ask Questions)


M Featherstone's links to senior serving and former police officers on the Gold Coast and elsewhere, his possible connections to bikies and his role in cold-calling companies alleged to be involved in fraud.

The companies, which advertise horse-racing betting software and other investments, are alleged to have defrauded hundreds of people across Australia in scams worth millions of dollars.

Officers from the Queensland police anti-bikie taskforce Maxima found suspected links to Mr Featherstone, a former fraud squad detective and one-time head of Surfers Paradise CIB, while investigating fraud allegations against members of the Black Uhlans and Bandidos outlaw motorcycle clubs

Fraud allegations involving three companies:
UK Home Based Business (UKHBB),
Lay Trading Solutions - company involved in finance and insurance, specifically related to credit intermediation
Pegasus Trader

However an investigation has uncovered evidence of the involvement of Mr Featherstone and Phoenix Global, not only with two of these companies but a range of alleged Gold Coast scams dating back almost 10 years.

They are linked to the Gold Coast private investigator MF in various ways - through his involvement in recruiting and managing patsy directors on behalf of others, by his own direct role as a director or shareholder, or by his providing advice on how to set up, run and protect such operations.

Correspondence obtained shows Phoenix Global recruited and gave day-to-day instructions to the directors of UKHBB and Pegasus Trader to carry out banking and other administrative jobs.

MF left QPS in 1997 - the report is in the article link above

Operation Lima Violin II update



Former AFL star turned Schoolies founder Tony Smith, Clive Palmer's media manager Andrew Crook and ex-Queensland detective Featherstone were cleared of attempting to pervert the course of justice and attempted fraud.
The trio were charged for the elaborate scheme six years ago of luring NAB's A Gazal to a remote island in Indonesia under the false pretense of offering him a high-paying job.

Then 1998 MF finds himself in this CCC investigation from his time in Nth QLD 1991
Also included is none other then QLD corrupt Police Commissioner T. Lewis - who's son was possibly part of the initial MB report to BB police......

Project Triton mid-August 1997
The Kimmins Report


IMO all of this is connected to the MB case.

Episode 8 of Sal and Joni's podcast The Missing Matter dropped today for subscribers, titled "The Mysterious Doorbell? Luxembourg".

It is absolutely uneventful and pointless. They hope to drop in on Monique Cornelius, having emailed her but had no reply. They go to her house and find an engraved plaque on the door of her house with the two names Blum and Cornelius, which causes some consternation. They go back several times, but she isn't there, and she doesn't return Sal's calls.
I wonder what questions Sally & Joni were going to ask MC? I could think of a few!

Saw this on the Missing Person MB page just now regarding the doorbell. Why can't they just be upfront :(

This podcast is like a soap opera all cliff hangers and teasers with little substance. It's become a strange kind of entertainment. Disappointing.

I think it's fair enough that they hold off until they have all the confirmed information.
