SeriallyAddicted, I wrote much the same scenario earlier in this thread. It's the simplest explanation for everything. Meeting up with a man named Remakel. Changing her name in advance of promised (or imagined) marriage. Advising Marion to keep the marriage secret until Remakel had gotten her money. My only new thought is that Remakel may not have set out to scam but involvement with Marion led to it.
Think about it: If I were a scammer I'd use a more common name and I'd be careful about leaving a print ad trail. Also, don't you think at least one other woman would have come forward to admit she'd been scammed-- if Remakel were a serial or committed scammer?
So if I depart from your scenario at all, I'd venture that Remakel hooked up with Marion from the ad, she went overboard with their relationship, Remakel saw opportunity and took it, Marion becomes a problem, Marion is killed, Remakel gets the hell out of Australia. If this scenario is close to true, the police will be able to see his movements, in Australia, wouldn't they?
If it is a scammer using a fake name, the police won't be able to detect his movements.
At least, we have a real investigation going on now!
Emmapeel: the scammer could change names as he scams victims eg. scam one person using the same name then move on using another name. Phone number from the ad could have been in a false name too.
Yeah I’m totally open to it being a scam or a real remakel and agree the police will find so much information that we can’t get and I think they will get to the bottom of it.
I just think that as we heard no remakel other than Marion left or entered the country within a few years either side of Marion (I think that is right), then I think it’s more likely a scam.
Can’t wait to hear what the police find....
