The near three-decade-old disappearance of a schoolteacher has been referred to homicide detectives after a coroner slammed prior police failings to investigate the case.
Mother-of-two Marion Barter, 51, disappeared in suspicious circumstances in 1997.
She was last seen on June 22 that year - the day she flew out of Brisbane for an indefinite trip to England with Ric Blum, who she had recently entered into a relationship with after meeting him through a personal ad in the newspaper.
