going to guess the PI was the coffin confessor, that guy gives me the creeps, I have empathy for him and what TSS did, I totally believe him but he seems quite twisted and dark and I think gave Sally a really hard time, if I remember correctly accused her of stealing her mother's possessions and knowing where the container was ( none of which I believe)

On the trail of Marion Barter | AWW
The mysterious disappearance of Marion Barter gripped Australia. Her daughter and a team of amateur sleuths untangled the clues.

New website - Sally Leydon
What I really love about this new website is the fact there is NO mention of AH name! NO glory that he yearns for and NO recognition of a name
A photo to trigger a memory perhaps for other women but nothing more.
I hope this is the start of a new way of addressing the oxygen thief. The man of no name who doesn't deserve a stage. Just the names of the all the women he destroyed - their lasting legacy a beacon for all women who have been trapped in a nightmare by a criminal.

Update this morning from Sally on the new Facebook page -
"Inquest update:
Crown Solicitors have now sent us their reply to Ric Blum’s submissions.
Now we wait for the coroner to give us a date for her findings."
Cant believe its taking this long. Poor Sal. At least we are edging closer.

Someone posted this on the new MPMB FB Community along with extracts from the book which are uncannily familiar, eg nude photos used to blackmail ex lovers, blonde women, taking phone calls from old pay-phones, marriage proposals 45 days after they met, vanishing lovers, starting a new life, fire burning down a club, furniture manufacturing business for export to Europe, rape, poisoning & murder.
Written in the style of a Mills & Boon romance just like the singing testicles letter.

Yet another strange 'coincidence' in all this. Apparently Alwin is a man's name. I know we're not allowed to sleuth any innocent person -but- is this author possibly the man himself? How could we establish more facts? It seems just beyond belief. I also imagine that holing up to 'write' and going places to do 'book launches' and 'readings' would be a really good excuse for disappearing for days / weeks on end as well as justifying sporadic income and regular trips to Bali.

The book, chapter one*, is about an American white man called 'Ken' 'an itinerant scholar' hitting on a woman in Bali. It's repulsive actually. There's mention of him needing to take viagra when supposedly describing a hot sexy scene. He has estranged wives and adult children all across the states. He doesn't like to speak of his past as he lives in the present moment and all his previous relationships have 'dissolved into nothingness'. All his former lovers want nothing to do with him, almost as if they wish to excise him from their lives like a malignant tumour. Stuff about withdrawals of money and him disappearing. Hmm. Reads like a confessional of someone we might know IMO. Chapter two is sub titled 'bon vivant for hire'.

Agree, there are so many coincidences and we know he fancies himself as a literary type and a great lover. The themes in the book are just up his alley….sleazy romance, obsession with money & delusions of grandeur.
It wouldn’t be the first time a criminal tried their hand at writing “crime fiction” believing they were too smart to get caught. (eg John Leonard Orr)

There's mention in the final chapter of the male taking an advert out in 'The Bali Advertiser' in to sell second hand stuff to raise money. A quick google shows that 'The Bali Advertiser' is a real publication for the expat community. I wonder if anyone we know has an account with them or is known for placing adverts?

Based on what I’ve read so far I’d have to agree. Just like his testimony at the inquest.
Someone on the MPMB FB Community noted just how easy and inexpensive it is these days to publish your own book. Any delusional narcissist can become a published author.
