At the time, Australian police dismissed her concerns, insisting that her mother, Marion Barter, had disappeared by choice, and wanted nothing to do with her family.
Ric Blum told the NSW Coroner's court that he last saw Barter in June 1997, just before she left Australia.
Blum told the court Cornelius had lied about their relationship, which was platonic, he said.
Several years later, Ghislaine Danlois-Dubois met Blum in 2006 through an advertisement she posted in a newspaper seeking companionship.
O’Sullivan concluded by reading Leydon’s own words about her mother, Marion Barter, read from her submission.
