Schapelle - rumours
As Schapelle started to gain widespread public support, a few weirdos with motives that I cannot begin to understand, started calling radio shows or writing to message boards with rumours designed to persuade people of her guilt. Some of those rumours are listed below:
There was no need for her to take her boogie board to Bali since her sister has a surf shop in Bali.
Refutation: It’s extraordinary how these untrue rumours spread. A bloke on the John Laws show makes up a story and a week later half of Australia is basing all sorts of arguments on this ‘fact’. But anyway, it's not true. Mercedes lived and worked on the Gold Coast but took occasional trips to Bali largely because her husband is Balinese.
Where did she get the money for all those trips to Bali. I heard 30 in the last 12 months.
Refutation: More nonsense from the same John Laws caller. Schapelle has been to Bali a couple of times in the last 5 years.
I know an airline hostess that went over on the flight with Corby and said she was really nervous all the way.
Refutation: No you don’t. By the way, I know a Bali copper that told me that Customs Officer Winata is telling everybody that he once had his advances to an Aussie girl rebuffed and had been looking for revenge ever since. (Tell you what - I’ll admit I made my story up, when you do the same.)
I have heard from friends who live and work in Bali that the Indonesians suspected the Corby siblings were smuggling stuff into the country for the past 5 years but they were too smart to get caught.
Refutation: And let me guess. No doubt they were using that surf shop in Bali as a distribution point and using Schapelle's experience as a Japanese hooker to entice people into their wicked clutches, whenever she was on one of her many thousands of weekly visits to Bali. Absolute garbage!
Worth making the point that the Bali police followed this line of inquiry with diligence and came up with absolutely nothing.
I have heard that police on the Gold Coast were well aware of the Corby family’s drug-related activities.
Refutation: Quite the contrary Paul Toohey in a 25 May article in the Bulletin wrote:
If the family are drug-dealers, local cops say it is news to them. Just around the corner from Rosleigh’s home is a four-person Loganlea police outpost. They say they’ve never had reason to visit Rosleigh’s address. … “And I can tell you, when someone gets caught with drugs here, which is all the time, they’re quick to dob in their supplier.”
Apparently Schapelle worked as a hooker in Japan.
Refutation: Another unpleasant use of a half truth to disparage Schapelle. After the failure of her marriage to a Japanese man, Schapelle worked temporarily in a bar in Tokyo. There is no reputable suggestion that she worked as a hooker.
