On anniversary of discovery of message in a bottle, Brisbane socialite was a rising star and had many lovers before disappearance
It’s been over 80 years since the mysterious disappearance of a Brisbane public servant and socialite who vanished from a train station. “I received £10 to dispose of the body of Miss Norval. “She was dumped in the bay near Amity Point on 16-11-38 and I have since gone to N.Z.” This was the creepy message in a bottle found 80 years ago this week in Queensland. The writer was referring to Marjorie Norval, a 30-year-old Brisbane socialite and public servant, whose disappearance shocked Australia, with the case attracting the sort of attention Teacher’s Pet is getting today. https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/on-anniversary-of-discovery-of-message-in-a-bottle-brisbane-socialite-was-a-rising-star-and-had-many-lovers-before-disappearance/news-story/6afe7e7302c1bd4ce35800649b794d82
