Coroner seeking to establish what happened to Gold Coast school teacher, subject of The Lady Vanishes podcast
Ghislaine Dubois-Danlois was 72 and at a low point in her life when she put a lonely hearts ad in a newspaper in 2006. A widow, she was “exhausted” and “wanted to think about something new”.
Barter had been a popular primary school teacher at the Southport school on the Gold Coast when, in March 1997, she suddenly quit her job, sold her house and announced she was going on a sabbatical to Europe.She had become uncharacteristically secretive. In May 1997, two months before she left Australia, Marion had changed her name by deed poll to Florabella Natalia Marion Remakel. She left Australia on 22 June 1997.
Since the early 1980s Blum has been on an Australian invalid pension and his wife, Diane, who he married in 1976, on a carer’s pension. On Wednesday, another woman, Dubois-Danlois, told the court she met Blum in Brussels where he was living in a small studio. She has previously told a Belgian newspaper how she had brought up her four children alone after she was widowed at the age of 50. “So I invited him to my place and he accepted immediately,” she told the inquest. They shared her bed, “he said to me beforehand that he was normally frigid”.
