Summary

Laura continues her interview with Sally Leydon, Marion Barter’s daughter. Laura and Sally discuss why Marion may have secretly changed her name to Florabella Natalia Marion Remakel before she left for the UK, along with a key piece of evidence discovered by a supersleuth - a 1994 ad placed by a 47-year-old man named MF Remakel who was seeking an unattached lady. On August 2nd, 1997, Marion’s passport was stamped re-entering Australia under this new name and in October money was taken out of her bank account in Byron Bay. Why would Marion change her name to such a distinctive and unusual name if her plan was to disappear? Why did she not mention anything to Sally when they spoke on August 1 – the very last conversation Sally had with her Mum? Don't miss out on this fascinating interview.
