    Australia Australia - Marion Barter, 51, missing after trip to UK, Jun 1997 #5

    Thanks for the detail re Marions' time in the Blue Mountains. Lapstone did ring a bell , but wasn't sure if they had just been where they had got married or where they had lived aswell. It seems as though the Florabella Pass could well have been a very popular place for walkers in the area when...

    I am pretty sure this has been touched on before. But also find it very coincidental- a serialised story from the 1930s- likely available in some format in the 80s/90s. I wonder if a well read Marion, ever read , Saul and The Spinster- concerning a New South Wales police inspector and the female...

    You're likely right as it seems that Marion did have a tendency to move around a lot, but whether she would have headed back to live again in a place she had already, am not sure. I should maybe have been a bit clearer. I mention the Blue Mountains, only to draw attention to the time she was...

    Hi Itsapuzzle and thank you. I knew about the reward, but not about the billboards around Grafton specifically. Maybe they know more- but I wonder if this is purely due to the fact that it was the last time she did anything under the name of Marion? Although if they have been told she has...

    People are going to get sick of me, but I am now going back through all the podcasts and catching up with the thread since about a year doing other things...needed a bit of a refresher course on this one! I kind of agree with you here Curiosity Cat. From the withdrawals in Byron Bay, to the use...

    Unfortunately the places Marion was visiting- quaint little villages and towns in the south east are the very sorts of places which would have attracted more of an older tourist anyway. Probably more popular with those 50 and up...(not trying to generalise here), but little gift and china...

    I know what you mean. Somehow historically, this does not fit Marion. Not as she was known then. That said Lesley Loveday commented how she seemed happy with whoever it was that she was with when she moved into the neighbourhood- but made some remark about him being a bit younger and unsure if...

    I have only just managed to catch up on the inquest and as I think this is an interesting possible connection to Tonbridge- even if they never travelled there in 69, maybe Marion heard about the area through Johnny Warren or from George himself depending how friendly they had been at that time...

    Another theory and completely possible. I wonder..could there have been no Fernand involved, no Remakel involved or man even calling himself Remakel. (I know this is unlikely) - but COULD this have been purely a case of- Marion was fed up, wanted a new life. Wanted to live in Europe. As hard as...

    No. It could be the actual Remakel, but it could also be someone impersonating him. The jury has not even met on this one, let alone out. Nobody is saying he actually went with Marion into Luxembourg (he might have). Just because it says that was the plan on Florabellas' passport, doesn't mean...

    I agree with you that someone else impersonating him is very plausible. I do think there were some indications in Mr Remakels behaviour that may have appeared cagey or odd..but I think , if I had investigative journalists at my door claiming someone by my name and area was thought to be linked...

    It does get messy when you have a criminal that does this sort of thing and just moves around. I don't think there is link, but as far as the whole changing names things goes.. chasing Charlie is an amazing podcast to get a sense of how they operate. He can't really be placed near Marion at the...

    Well you probably have a point I don't actually know how you go about applying for a po box as I have never had one and also never had 2 seperate passports either... sounds as if it would be an easy thing to be caught out on. I agree that I think anyone who has a high profile of some kind is...

    In reference to your last point, I think for me it is about the scientology and hermes Eastern shining being theories about groups, rather than homing in on a specific person directly. Yes luke glover has been mentioned but not anywhere near to the same focus as f remakel. An individual who, the...
