In Australia, more than 38,000 missing persons reports are received by police each year. While most people are found within a short period of time, there remain approximately 2,600 long term missing persons; those who have been missing for more than three months. Revelle is one of them. If anyone has any vital information that could help police solve this case, now is the time to come forward. Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Aramac detectives is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.
I recently saw an Australian documentary (I believe it was 60 minutes),where they stated that they are getting close to the culprits, they suspect that her last client killed her and that the escort couple helped him cover up the murder.
@@mlgauss60435 I think that they took her and sold her to the highest bidder. She was stunning, Exactly what a man in the middle east would like or even to put her into service. They'd get a high price for her. What does it matter after all she was a prostitue. (sarcasm). She would be highly prized either way. It was tragic whatever happened to her.
They always say they're getting close, but never close enough to prosecute. Either that or the perpetrator is long gone. If they can't catch the killer early on, evidence gets overlooked, is forgotten or never eventuates.
Oh Oddie you never disappoint. Thank you for the sad story. And talking about your younger days at pubs with friends. A week ago I went to my 50th high school reunion and reminiscing with old friends. Hearing your account of pubs and flats with your "old man's" memory , was a delight. I felt like I was sitting around a table hearing about the past. Loved it.
Thank you so much, Pamela, I’m happy it ignited some nostalgia, we all need that from time to time. At that time when we were young we never realised how quickly and drastically things would change over the decades.
This case has always been sad, interesting to me, so I am glad you followed it up. Terrible for her family and they need closure. Thank you for giving her attention again. it has been a year since we lost our beautiful dogs on the 4th of June. To answer your question back then - yes, I now have another dog. Coco a 2 year old Jack Russell who needed a home, 2 months ago we met and he is a force of nature after an older beautiful dog. Cooper was so special. Like your Fifa. Never replace - embrace. Coco and I are living and loving life on the farm. Watching your channel and sending you love XX N
Thank you very much for your feedback. I’m very sad to hear of the loss of your dogs, it’s heartbreaking. But I’m glad that you have found joy in another one. A Jack Russell will certainly keep you busy!
Such a sad story, so sad that she made such wrong choices. Her poor parents are now deceased, feel so sorry for them. Hopefully the police will get information leading to the perpetrator, and that her family can get some closure. 😢 Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Those hot guys in this story didn’t age well. Living in the fast lane too much for them? Left beautiful dead women in their wake. Glad you have so many subs these days!!
Oddie, so great to wind down with you and your interesting tales. People have actually lost their minds, I spend so much of my time listening to politics, the jab, and everything else. I've been working at this place as a RN in the ER since 1994 so I've seen all kinds. A gun fell out of a mans jeans when we cut them off. He'd gotten drunk and hit a train. He hit the train, he'll be fine, I only told you that to show how dangerous it is. I love helping people and I've taken shifts on all the floors and I have to be in the ER or ICU. Thanks for letting me rant. Love from Arkansas
I’m happy to hear that Alisa, thank you so much for your great feedback. Sounds like you have your hands full there in Arkansas! So people hit trains out there instead of the other way around 😄 I definitely have to agree with you about the point that people are losing their minds, there’s some crazy stuff going on.
I struggle, sometimes, getting my husband to use tech and apps. It makes me feel better when someone who makes their living working with tech has a tough time making it work.😂 I love your work, Oddie. You are so real and fun to listen to.
The struggle is real April 😁 and so is the frustration of pop ups and wonky street views ! 😂 Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, my friend, very glad you’re enjoying my content 😌
How heartbreaking for Revelle Balmain parents. Losing a daughter and before losing a son in a swimming pool drowning. Those kinds of things you just do not get over. Very sad! I hope the living Revelle Balmain family members can find answers on what happened to her and get some sort of peace in their lives! Thanks for the upload.
Not quite the vintage crime that I have expected but still narrated in the same vivid and captivating manner. Would there be further updates since this is not quite one of your usual 'obsolete' cases?
Thank you for your very kind feedback. Most definitely, if there are any updates to the case and any arrests made - I would most certainly make my viewers aware of it.
Okay, I know they're not "Easter eggs," but your videos always contain quirky add-ons (or -ins) that bring me the same joy at seeing them. The disco guy in the Red Tomato is what sparked it this time, so far. I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to those quirky bonuses. This is just the first time I'm commenting about them. They're appreciated; thank you!
I remember this one. So sad. I really hope those involved in her disappearance & death receive whatever karma they deserve! Great presentation as always, Oddie! Also love hearing about your old hangouts in Australia 🤟❤
I hope they do too Amy, but after all this time the chances are getting small. They don’t even have any DNA evidence to work on - it would be down to somebody having a bad conscience to reveal the truth. Glad you enjoyed hearing the old timer’s yarns!
Phenomenal as always!! Thank you, Oddie ❤❤ I hope one day this is solved. She deserves justice. So sad how these women are just done away with like nothing..then police won't do much because of said persons profession. Every person is just as important as the other! So sad 😢
Thank you so much my friend, that’s very kind of you. She doesn’t deed deserve justice, there are so many people who just go missing and if there’s not enough coverage, they are quickly forgotten about. In recent years though police have reinvestigated this case and the apartment where the main suspect lived, was thoroughly gone over with a forensic team. They still have him in their sites, but they need proof.
Hi Oddie, Great to see you pop up on my feed what a sad story nobody deserves to be murdered regardless of what they did for a living. She was beautiful such a shame. I had a school friend murdered in the early 90's maybe late 80's but she was working in a massage parlour on reception she planned to leave the job the next day but that night she worked as an escort, sadly she was found murdered he was never caught 😢. Everytime I see her grave i feel so angry she got no justice. Anyway thank you for the video great to catch up!.
Thank you, my friend, much appreciated. I’m very sorry to hear about your friend, that is really tragic and even more so that no justice will served. I also had a similar experience, with a friend of mine being murdered, and though they know who did it, he escaped justice because his brother was a diplomat from the country he came from, and got him off. Travesty.
great video as always. As an assuie, i remember seeing Revelle's face on the cover of Oyster magazine. Feel very sad for her parents. Particularly liked the personal touches at the end of the video, showing us your old stomping grounds.
Thank you so much, my friend for your kind feedback. How time has flown! Memories are like old light shows flickering dimly, with faces looming in and out. At the time I never realised how quickly and drastically things would change. When you’re young it feels like that is the moment and that is how it’s going to be for all time.
Gosh! She looks so much like Kate Moss . Beautiful lady, what a sad story . Did she make some wrong choices , probably, but we folks do that. No one's perfect . 😢 Thank you for the video Oddie ❤❤
She does rather doesn’t she? Indeed, we do make a lot of good and bad choices in life, I myself am lucky to still be here - and I guess a lot of us can say the same. Glad you enjoyed it, my friend!
Revelle chose a very dangerous profession in which to support herself. I can't help but wonder what profession she would have gone into had she lived and actually relocated to Japan. Final thought: No disrespect to Mark Coulton's 58 years of living, but he has aged rather badly. Could be from the stress of a guilty conscious. 🤨
Thank you for the very kind donation my friend, much appreciated! Yes that is a cruel twist of fate, that the day before she was ready to leave for her new life, it was ended.
Well, I’m glad somebody likes to hear about it, thank you so much - it’s very kind of you. Well, it wasn’t the first time I got ripped off with weed lol
Good evening from France, dear Oddie!🙏 A big thank you to you for your work which is still insufficiently recognized, and for videos like this one, which will perhaps make it possible to find a long-lost person.🙏👍 Respektvolle Grüße.
I don’t believe the last client killed her. He would clean the sheets to hide any evidence of having another woman over from his gf. I think she was picked up by the escort business and then murdered. You never cross pimps and try to run your own deals. Never ends well unfortunately.
Hi Oddie, Love your channel. You are a nice and polite man and deserve all the praise you get for your videos you present for us. Thanks for talking about Revelle Balmain. Plus, Thanks for talking about your old Australian hangouts too. It was most interesting. I hope Revelle Balmain gets justice. At 10:47 I think her killer was Gavin Samer with all those scratches and cuts on him like he was fighting with her before her murder. I hate it when a person dies so young like she did. Revelle may have been trying to get away from her killer when she was murdered. Thats why she was leaving the business maybe? Wonder what her plans in Japan were going to be. Business or sight-seeing? Thanks for the upload. ♥
Very glad you enjoyed it, Chrissy, thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback 😊 much appreciated Revelle’s plans in Japan were to further her career as a model, I think that I mentioned that during the presentation?
Revelle deserves justice and to be properly laid to rest by her surviving family. I hope they find her remains so she can have a funeral, and I hope her killer or killers are held accountable. Given as this was the mid 90s and Christ knows what was going on in the Balkans at that time, I can’t help but wonder if the two Serbian / Yugoslav clients were horrendous war criminal types well accustomed to doing what they wanted to women and wouldn’t have thought twice about hurting a call girl, and getting their mate to cover it up afterward. It was a really brutal time in that part of Europe and many terrible crimes were inflicted on people by those involved in the military and local militias - violence became the norm and women and girls in particular really suffered 😢
Very sad this lady was missing, her client probably did away with her, some how maybe found out she was going to relocate, I feel sorry for this Revelle Balmain thanks for another interesting story
What an interesting, sad, case I had never heard of! 😢 I lean towards the client that last saw her, due to the cleaning, and scratches, etc. I know there are other leads, but I think she was killed by him.
Hi Oddie. I remember this case. In 94 i was 20 and working in Woolloomooloo. On friday nights I'd take the Newcastle train home for the weekend. I used to do stupid things like walking home late at night from paddington to randwick but cut through centennial park. Having been raised in Newcastle i didnt have the fear i should have had. I think the Soldiers Point Revelles mother lived at was in Port Stephens not the central coast. There is one at Norah head, i think they just reported the wrong one. I danced on pool tables at Selinas but i kept my clothes on. My local at Randwick was the DOG. Thank you Oddie for walk down memory lane.
Sounds like you did some risky things back then my friend - we are the lucky ones to still be here. I would often cycle around Centennial Park after work, doing many laps - until it got dark, then I would leave because a lot of unsavoury characters would congregate there. You were very lucky indeed. The DOG was my local when I moved to the area in the mid 80s I was staying at my sisters on Frenchmans Road at the time - afterwards found my own place further up on Avoca Street. I remember the Coogee Bay and Selinas very well, went to see Nirvana there. It’s nice to communicate with someone who was around at that time in my stomping ground.
@@ObsoleteOddity Oddie I was at that concert, I had just turned 18 the day before. Small world. That concert is on RUclips. Oddie, I was wondering do you know the story of Alexander Pierce, the cannibal convict. I know that's a little more historical than your stories, but its a ripping yarn. I'd love someone to tell it.
@goldfishbrain32 it’s strange to think we were in that space at the same time, not knowing that we would be communicating decades later. Yes, I do know the story of the cannibal convict, I have thought about covering it but at the moment it just hasn’t interested me enough
Paying for sex, man... 🤷♂️ I just do not get it all .... I don't get _any whatsoever_ tbph but paying for it would be wrong. ... and "passing her on to his friends.." like ahem scuse me what now?
I absolutely believe that it was the last client who killed her. Her belongings were found not far from his home. She went there and I'm sure that upon her arrival, she was not happy that he was a substandard client. The fact that he sold his GF's clarinet to pay for her fully explains the conditions that Revelle walked up to upon arriving at his residence. Revelle probably thought, "This is not at all what I expected -- and I need to get the hell out of here!" But, she didn't leave, even though her gut was telling her to. She most likely just said to herself, "Okay, I'm here. I'll just get this over with really quick and leave." The guy sensed her wanting to get through it really fast and he probably got really pissed, I mean, after all the trouble that he went through to get the money! Selling his GF's clarinet! And THEN he was probably over-anxious and a bit nervous meeting Revelle and in the end he failed to make the session last for very long and once that happened, she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. And, I think that because it happened 'prematurely' he was expecting her to 'give him more time', he expected her to stay with him longer. And she wouldn't. If you go back and look at all of the injuries on him in the photos the police took, you're going to see all of the signs where Revelle fought him off while he was probably choking her. He has fingernail scratches on his neck and face, he has multiple abrasions and bruises. This man had been in a physical altercation with someone. Here in the United States, he would have been indicted by a grand jury just from the fact that he was the last person to see Revelle, and then with all of the fingernail scratches, the condition that his hands were in, the scrapes, and bruises on his body would have been enough to convince a grand jury! He was the last person to see her. There are thousands of "One time only killers" out there walking the streets. This is where an individual has murdered someone and disposed of them, and then they never killed again. They go on to live normal, ordinary lives and grow old and die -- with their loved ones never knowing that about them. They take their secret to their graves! It's sad that her parents died without ever knowing where her remains are. I hope that her last client will someday be held accountable and sent to prison for killing her. He did it! .
Just to make a valid point, I may not have mentioned it in this episode as I can’t remember exactly because it’s over two years old. But the suspect and Revelle were known to each other, he had ordered her services many times. It could be that he was besotted with her, and when he found out that she was leaving for Japan, something in him snapped.
Air boner!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love that and the pics! Never boring Oddie. I love stuff like that. Especially drone footage and such from above. I always pause and pour over it all to see what I can catch. I was a big "pub or bar" crawler in the 80s. Got drunk in a biker bar and fell off my stool. A big biker chick literally picked me up and put me back on it! No shit. I got blackout bombed back then. Not good. Thanks Oddie. Very interesting🙏🏼💔🕊️🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it Laura, a bit of humour is always good after a murder case I think. Oh so you were also a pub crawler like me, luckily I stuck mostly to beer but the times that I did drink spirits I also would blackout, and yes it’s not good and I decided to knock that on the head. Although I was never a violent drunk, I just liked having a good time. That’s one advantage about being older, we don’t have to go through that anymore! Very glad you enjoying my content and take care my friend.
Hi Oddie, Love your channel. Thanks for another fascinating and mysterious upload. Revelle Balmaine-the Sydney model I have never heard about. Thanks for talking about her. Probably foul play! I hope her family can get answers soon! Nice that you have seen her. Thanks for the upload. ❤❤❤
RIP Revelle…such a shame for a beautiful young lady with plans for a better future to have met a premature, probably violent death. I am new to your channel and would like to thank you for sharing these interesting stories. Your voice, pleasant demeanor and lovely accent are a pleasure to hear! Best wishes!
Seems to be way too many stories like this. One is to many. We are all just pawns on the great chess board. We can be thrown away and the game keeps going.
The escort service says a lot in those days western women were brought and bought to Japan for sex club hostess She dyed her hair blond to please Japanese business men. . I do not think she was a dancer. She just tried to escape to Japan about something her life threatening. She was going to work as a sex worker in Japan.
Revelle Balmain surely has been done away with, either by someone hired by the Escort owner or a client. She was taking money from clients, which was known, she was picky, rejecting those she would not service, she often went off on her own. Perhaps a client did her in, but, most likely, the Business owner made an arrangement. Sad that on her last day, she disappeared. What a dangerous career choice for a woman to make.
The whole family is gone now. I wonder if the girl was trafficked out of the country since no one found her but found her ID & some belongings. This happens a lot more than people like to admit. Amazing vintage / record player too, Oddie! I enjoy your memories.
Well, the mother and father are deceased, but she still has siblings - one of them was in contact with me a few years ago. Glad you like my old gramophone record player! And thank you so much for sharing my memories 😊
Regardless of what Revelle was into, nobody deserves what happened to her and it's very obvious her agency and the clients all knew what was up by playing the I don't know anything about anything game. I hope one day Revelle gets justice and her parents at least get to see where she is in the spirit realm.
The odds are not that high, there was a lot of crime in Sydney back then as there is now - I wasn’t there when she vanished, on that day - but we lived in the same area. I even witnessed a guy being shot in the head.
Fabulous channel Oddie! Revelle Balmain reminds me of the young British lady Lucie Blackman who went to Japan to become an escort lady for rich & powerful Japanese men. And she ended up dead by A Korean man who immigrated to Japan who spoke great English by the name of Joji Obara. Dangerous profession for pretty, young ladies. You are dealing with powerful, sometimes dangerous men! Thanks for the upload. 💕💕
I think he whacked Revelle over the head with the clarinet, wrecking it, and then disposed of it. If he hocked it, wouldn’t the cops be smart enough to retrieve it? No, probably not.
As always, it's a great story. Would love to hear the story of Ylenia Maria Sole Carisi, missing since 1-6-1994 under Mysterious circumstances. Was I think the granddaughter of actor tyrone powers
HMMMM ! SOMEONE FROM THE ESCORT AGENCY MURDERED HER . R.I.P. TO THIS YOUNG LADY . A DAUGHTER / AUNT / SISTER / COUSIN/ FRIEND / NEIGHBOUR . ITS SAD INDEED. FROM U.K. (2024).
Although this is absolutely not an attempt to victim blame, it should come as a surprise to no one that the lifestyle RB chose is fraught with peril. One wonders which came first - the sex work or the cocaine addiction? Anyone who has followed true crime channels for two weeks knows sex workers are in statistically high danger of their lives being taken. The addition of an addiction increases those odds. I have seen the downward spiral firsthand, as a woman I knew bounced from one relationship to the next & one form of sex work to the next and, by the time she hit bottom, she had lost custody of all four children with slim hopes of regaining full custody of any of them. Considering the kinds of people with whom she interacted, it was an amazement to me that she survived. True story.
What a disgusting and disrespectful comment, unfortunately Revelle interacted with someone who like you thought her lesser and themselves superior. No matter what a woman does she does not deserve to be murdered.
In Australia, more than 38,000 missing persons reports are received by police each year. While most people are found within a short period of time, there remain approximately 2,600 long term missing persons; those who have been missing for more than three months. Revelle is one of them.
If anyone has any vital information that could help police solve this case, now is the time to come forward.
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Aramac detectives is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.
She was a daughter, a sister, and a friend. She deserves justice. I hope someone comes forward with the truth.
This guy not only cheated on his girlfriend but pawned her clarinet in order to have the money to do so!
Yes, so trust just anyone. Wonder if his girlfriend still stuck by him, or did the pawning of the clarinet "fix it" for her?
I recently saw an Australian documentary (I believe it was 60 minutes),where they stated that they are getting close to the culprits, they suspect that her last client killed her and that the escort couple helped him cover up the murder.
I agree!
@@mlgauss60435 I think that they took her and sold her to the highest bidder. She was stunning, Exactly what a man in the middle east would like or even to put her into service.

I do believe there is more than one person who knows. Too weird. Thanks Oddie.
Thank you for watching and listening my friend.
Every video you create is a masterpiece, Oddie!
I really appreciate the 'super thanks' donation - thank you kindly my friend & loyal supporter! 😊
So very, very sad for her and her family. Thank you for covering.
Thank you for watching and listening my friend.
That number of Missing Persons is Heartbreaking! Prayers for Answers, and Justice.🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thank you
Sad her parents had no closure. Im betting it was her client with all the scratches. RIP Revelle
Tragic story ,beautifully told ,,sad to think there is no closure, that's the saddest part ,great channel

You can take the man out of Aus, but can't take the Aus out of the man! LOL. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺. 😊

I struggle, sometimes, getting my husband to use tech and apps. It makes me feel better when someone who makes their living working with tech has a tough time making it work.😂 I love your work, Oddie. You are so real and fun to listen to.

Unfortunately career choices have consequences
Good morning, Oddie! I hope you're enjoying your day! Thank You!
Have a nice day!
Loved this Oddie. Nice job.
Many thanks!
Vanishing into thin air sounds easy, but vanishing into thick air sounds like a real trick.
Revelle chose a very dangerous profession in which to support herself. I can't help but wonder what profession she would have gone into had she lived and actually relocated to Japan. Final thought: No disrespect to Mark Coulton's 58 years of living, but he has aged rather badly. Could be from the stress of a guilty conscious. 🤨

Yes that is a cruel twist of fate, that the day before she was ready to leave for her new life, it was ended.
I love the little bits of your life we get to hear about. Sorry you got ripped off 😅.
A sad story today, but very well told. Thank you!
Well, I’m glad somebody likes to hear about it, thank you so much - it’s very kind of you.
Well, it wasn’t the first time I got ripped off with weed lol
Good evening from France, dear Oddie!🙏
A big thank you to you for your work which is still insufficiently recognized, and for videos like this one, which will perhaps make it possible to find a long-lost person.🙏👍
Respektvolle Grüße.
Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback, my friend, very much appreciated.
Greetings from Switzerland and Viva La France!
Thank you for keeping people's stories out there, my friend. I watch a bit of true crime on RUclips.
Thank you for your appreciation, thanks for your kind words.
Another fantastic job,l love mysteries and with your voice and style makes it even better.... also I'm an old timer too but in body not in mind 💀🇺🇸
Thank you kindly!
Thanks 4 another fantastic video 📸 now time 2 buckle up and get stuck in as always I've smashed the like button 😊 love ❣️ your channel
Awesome thank you! 🙏
I don’t believe the last client killed her. He would clean the sheets to hide any evidence of having another woman over from his gf. I think she was picked up by the escort business and then murdered. You never cross pimps and try to run your own deals. Never ends well unfortunately.
Great episode, Oddie. I had heard of this case before, but you covered it in your inimitable style. Enjoyed it.
Thank you kindly!
Thanks for sharing. Reminded me of my years in Quincy, IL US
You're most welcome, thanks for your feedback!
I look forward to every new upload by Oddie because I know it is going to be a great case
That’s very kind of you, Bobby, thank you so much 😊
Hi Oddie, Love your channel. You are a nice and polite man and deserve all the praise you get for your videos you present for us. Thanks for talking about Revelle Balmain. Plus, Thanks for talking about your old Australian hangouts too. It was most interesting. I hope Revelle Balmain gets justice. At 10:47 I think her killer was Gavin Samer with all those scratches and cuts on him like he was fighting with her before her murder.
I hate it when a person dies so young like she did. Revelle may have been trying to get away from her killer when she was murdered. Thats why she was leaving the business maybe? Wonder what her plans in Japan were going to be. Business or sight-seeing? Thanks for the upload. ♥
Very glad you enjoyed it, Chrissy, thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback 😊 much appreciated
Revelle’s plans in Japan were to further her career as a model, I think that I mentioned that during the presentation?
@@ObsoleteOddity Ok thanks my dear Oddie for your reply.😊
Such a sad story. I do love your stories Oddie! My love to you and Mrs Oddie. Be safe my friend. 💕💕💕💕💙💙💙💙
Thanks so much 😊🙏
@@ObsoleteOddity and happy fathers day!💕💕💕💕
Revelle deserves justice and to be properly laid to rest by her surviving family. I hope they find her remains so she can have a funeral, and I hope her killer or killers are held accountable.
Given as this was the mid 90s and Christ knows what was going on in the Balkans at that time, I can’t help but wonder if the two Serbian / Yugoslav clients were horrendous war criminal types well accustomed to doing what they wanted to women and wouldn’t have thought twice about hurting a call girl, and getting their mate to cover it up afterward. It was a really brutal time in that part of Europe and many terrible crimes were inflicted on people by those involved in the military and local militias - violence became the norm and women and girls in particular really suffered 😢
Cuts on your neck from service? Noooooo
I feel bad for the family of *Revelle Balmain* & for *Revelle* who did not get to live out her natural life 💔
Very sad this lady was missing, her client probably did away with her, some how maybe found out she was going to relocate, I feel sorry for this Revelle Balmain thanks for another interesting story
Thank you for your kind feedback Cherri, glad you enjoyed the presentation 🙏☺️
What an interesting, sad, case I had never heard of! 😢 I lean towards the client that last saw her, due to the cleaning, and scratches, etc. I know there are other leads, but I think she was killed by him.
Love your channel Oddie! Such a sad story of a young life lost.😢
I appreciate that, thank you so much!
Hi Oddie. I remember this case. In 94 i was 20 and working in Woolloomooloo. On friday nights I'd take the Newcastle train home for the weekend. I used to do stupid things like walking home late at night from paddington to randwick but cut through centennial park. Having been raised in Newcastle i didnt have the fear i should have had. I think the Soldiers Point Revelles mother lived at was in Port Stephens not the central coast. There is one at Norah head, i think they just reported the wrong one. I danced on pool tables at Selinas but i kept my clothes on. My local at Randwick was the DOG. Thank you Oddie for walk down memory lane.
Sounds like you did some risky things back then my friend - we are the lucky ones to still be here.
I would often cycle around Centennial Park after work, doing many laps - until it got dark, then I would leave because a lot of unsavoury characters would congregate there.
You were very lucky indeed.
The DOG was my local when I moved to the area in the mid 80s I was staying at my sisters on Frenchmans Road at the time - afterwards found my own place further up on Avoca Street.
I remember the Coogee Bay and Selinas very well, went to see Nirvana there.
It’s nice to communicate with someone who was around at that time in my stomping ground.
@@ObsoleteOddity Oddie I was at that concert, I had just turned 18 the day before. Small world. That concert is on RUclips. Oddie, I was wondering do you know the story of Alexander Pierce, the cannibal convict. I know that's a little more historical than your stories, but its a ripping yarn. I'd love someone to tell it.
@goldfishbrain32 it’s strange to think we were in that space at the same time, not knowing that we would be communicating decades later.
Yes, I do know the story of the cannibal convict, I have thought about covering it but at the moment it just hasn’t interested me enough
Morning oddie. Great story, really sad though.
very much appreciated 😊
Kudos Oddie...would've jumped on it earlier but I was at work! Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks ☺️
Paying for sex, man... 🤷♂️ I just do not get it all .... I don't get _any whatsoever_ tbph but paying for it would be wrong. ... and "passing her on to his friends.." like ahem scuse me what now?
Always a great story Oddie❤
Thank you, much appreciated, Sadie 😊
Another great video!❤
Thank you 🤗
That client had to be the one who did it but perhaps working with the escort service.
"Model", "Dance tour", "Client"- euphemism overload in this one..
She was actually a model and a dancer. The escort business was a totally different job.
I absolutely believe that it was the last client who killed her. Her belongings were found not far from his home. She went there and I'm sure that upon her arrival, she was not happy that he was a substandard client. The fact that he sold his GF's clarinet to pay for her fully explains the conditions that Revelle walked up to upon arriving at his residence. Revelle probably thought, "This is not at all what I expected -- and I need to get the hell out of here!" But, she didn't leave, even though her gut was telling her to.
She most likely just said to herself, "Okay, I'm here. I'll just get this over with really quick and leave." The guy sensed her wanting to get through it really fast and he probably got really pissed, I mean, after all the trouble that he went through to get the money! Selling his GF's clarinet! And THEN he was probably over-anxious and a bit nervous meeting Revelle and in the end he failed to make the session last for very long and once that happened, she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. And, I think that because it happened 'prematurely' he was expecting her to 'give him more time', he expected her to stay with him longer. And she wouldn't.
If you go back and look at all of the injuries on him in the photos the police took, you're going to see all of the signs where Revelle fought him off while he was probably choking her. He has fingernail scratches on his neck and face, he has multiple abrasions and bruises. This man had been in a physical altercation with someone.
Here in the United States, he would have been indicted by a grand jury just from the fact that he was the last person to see Revelle, and then with all of the fingernail scratches, the condition that his hands were in, the scrapes, and bruises on his body would have been enough to convince a grand jury!
He was the last person to see her. There are thousands of "One time only killers" out there walking the streets. This is where an individual has murdered someone and disposed of them, and then they never killed again. They go on to live normal, ordinary lives and grow old and die -- with their loved ones never knowing that about them. They take their secret to their graves!
It's sad that her parents died without ever knowing where her remains are. I hope that her last client will someday be held accountable and sent to prison for killing her. He did it!
.
Just to make a valid point, I may not have mentioned it in this episode as I can’t remember exactly because it’s over two years old.
But the suspect and Revelle were known to each other, he had ordered her services many times.
It could be that he was besotted with her, and when he found out that she was leaving for Japan, something in him snapped.
Air boner!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love that and the pics! Never boring Oddie. I love stuff like that. Especially drone footage and such from above. I always pause and pour over it all to see what I can catch. I was a big "pub or bar" crawler in the 80s. Got drunk in a biker bar and fell off my stool. A big biker chick literally picked me up and put me back on it! No shit. I got blackout bombed back then. Not good. Thanks Oddie. Very interesting🙏🏼💔🕊️🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it Laura, a bit of humour is always good after a murder case I think.
Oh so you were also a pub crawler like me, luckily I stuck mostly to beer but the times that I did drink spirits I also would blackout, and yes it’s not good and I decided to knock that on the head.
Although I was never a violent drunk, I just liked having a good time.
That’s one advantage about being older, we don’t have to go through that anymore!
Very glad you enjoying my content and take care my friend.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hi Oddie, Love your channel. Thanks for another fascinating and mysterious upload. Revelle Balmaine-the Sydney model I have never heard about. Thanks for talking about her. Probably foul play! I hope her family can get answers soon! Nice that you have seen her. Thanks for the upload. ❤❤❤
That is very kind of you and it really makes my day, that my efforts are so appreciated
Thanks for your interesting insights and positive feedback. 😊
God rest her soul, I'm sad to hear that she lost her younger brother at age 4. That could mess anybody up.
RIP Revelle…such a shame for a beautiful young lady with plans for a better future to have met a premature, probably violent death.
I am new to your channel and would like to thank you for sharing these interesting stories. Your voice, pleasant demeanor and lovely accent are a pleasure to hear!
Best wishes!
Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback 😊
Seems to be way too many stories like this. One is to many. We are all just pawns on the great chess board. We can be thrown away and the game keeps going.
Very successful video 👏👏👏🌷, Thank you Obsolete Oddity 👍
I really appreciate your positive feedback - thank you very much :)
Well presented. Sad story though.
I played that record on your turntable off u tube it's 1952 and nice.
The escort service says a lot in those days western women were brought and bought to Japan for sex club hostess She dyed her hair blond to please Japanese business men. . I do not think she was a dancer. She just tried to escape to Japan about something her life threatening. She was going to work as a sex worker in Japan.
Revelle Balmain surely has been done away with, either by someone hired by the Escort owner or a client. She was taking money from clients, which was known, she was picky, rejecting those she would not service, she often went off on her own. Perhaps a client did her in, but, most likely, the Business owner made an arrangement. Sad that on her last day, she disappeared. What a dangerous career choice for a woman to make.
Ah yes, because we need to take responsibility for our own safety because we can’t rely on men to behave like decent human beings 🤷♀️
The whole family is gone now. I wonder if the girl was trafficked out of the country since no one found her but found her ID & some belongings. This happens a lot more than people like to admit.
Amazing vintage / record player too, Oddie! I enjoy your memories.
Well, the mother and father are deceased, but she still has siblings - one of them was in contact with me a few years ago.
Glad you like my old gramophone record player! And thank you so much for sharing my memories 😊
She knew the risk of her lifestyle. Sad
It must be Absolute Agony, to have a Loved One Vanish!! I can't begin to imagine! Prayers for her Family. 🥀🥀🥀🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️
Regardless of what Revelle was into, nobody deserves what happened to her and it's very obvious her agency and the clients all knew what was up by playing the I don't know anything about anything game. I hope one day Revelle gets justice and her parents at least get to see where she is in the spirit realm.
Isn't it amazing that You were there at that time as well? How ODD
The odds are not that high, there was a lot of crime in Sydney back then as there is now - I wasn’t there when she vanished, on that day - but we lived in the same area.
I even witnessed a guy being shot in the head.
Such a shame x
And he had the gaul to say she was a nasty bit of work. He sounds like a right a/h
So very sad.
Fabulous channel Oddie! Revelle Balmain reminds me of the young British lady Lucie Blackman who went to Japan to become an escort lady for rich & powerful Japanese men. And she ended up dead by A Korean man who immigrated to Japan who spoke great English by the name of Joji Obara. Dangerous profession for pretty, young ladies. You are dealing with powerful, sometimes dangerous men! Thanks for the upload. 💕💕
Very glad you enjoyed it, Chrissy, thank you so much for reaching out with your positive feedback!
I think he whacked Revelle over the head with the clarinet, wrecking it, and then disposed of it. If he hocked it, wouldn’t the cops be smart enough to retrieve it? No, probably not.
Thanks, Oddie. 👍💖
You are so welcome
I don’t think Revelle’s last client was her murderer. He hired the wrong girl at the wrong place and wrong time.
Good morning Oddie🎉my old friend 😊
Good morning!
I still say the brothel owners had something to do with this they are not the type of people you cross sad but we will never know 🇦🇺
Boy, you almost gave away how old you actually are!! LOL!!
I’m as old as dirt 😉
Great video
Thank you 🙏
RIP Revelle.
So sad
As always, it's a great story. Would love to hear the story of Ylenia Maria Sole Carisi, missing since 1-6-1994 under Mysterious circumstances. Was I think the granddaughter of actor tyrone powers
the late 80s those where my times also Oddie.
Samar done it
Oh Oddie I enjoyed your stories about your life 😂. So funny.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😂
HMMMM ! SOMEONE FROM THE ESCORT AGENCY MURDERED HER . R.I.P. TO THIS YOUNG LADY . A DAUGHTER / AUNT / SISTER / COUSIN/ FRIEND / NEIGHBOUR . ITS SAD INDEED. FROM U.K. (2024).
Although this is absolutely not an attempt to victim blame, it should come as a surprise to no one that the lifestyle RB chose is fraught with peril. One wonders which came first - the sex work or the cocaine addiction? Anyone who has followed true crime channels for two weeks knows sex workers are in statistically high danger of their lives being taken. The addition of an addiction increases those odds. I have seen the downward spiral firsthand, as a woman I knew bounced from one relationship to the next & one form of sex work to the next and, by the time she hit bottom, she had lost custody of all four children with slim hopes of regaining full custody of any of them. Considering the kinds of people with whom she interacted, it was an amazement to me that she survived. True story.
What a disgusting and disrespectful comment, unfortunately Revelle interacted with someone who like you thought her lesser and themselves superior. No matter what a woman does she does not deserve to be murdered.
