. I have set up a spreadsheet of all victims and will work on this, when I have the time, in the coming months.
The following Risk Waters employees have no matching birth data:
Michelle Beale ( I was once searched for her address given in a local newspaper and it didn't exist)
Melanie Louise Devere
Sarah Anne Redheffer
Karlie Rogers
Neil James Cudmore's fiance Dinah Webster.
Amazing work. Some of it must have been really tedious to compile.
Can I offer some bits of info for the spreadsheet ?
(
even though I'm sure its all fiction made up by journalists and other fakers!)
I had a chance to look at the archive of local papers where
Melanie De Vere - a Risk Waters vicsim employee - is from. The News of Portsmouth has alot of info not on the internet.
THe News Sept 19 2001
Melanie had brother Freddie, sister Ruth, father David.
Attended Oaklands School and Highbury College.
A book of condolences was set up for her in Cosham Library
[Hopefully I can go and see if it's still there]
I wrote to Oaklands school to confirm her attendence:
M Quinn, the headteacher confirmed her attendence.
(Incidentally, it is the same school that was attended by an injured survivor of Mumbai's 26/11

I wrote to Sussex university, alma mater of Risk Waters Vicsim
Karlie Rogers, to get information.
It took 3 e mails and two letters to get the following :lol: :
I now enclose a photocopy of an extract from Ms Rogers' original student record which I trust meets your requirements. The quality is very poor though this is the best resolution we could achieve.
... THis concludes the University's response to your Freedom of Information request.
Yours sincerely

Governance Officer
Nothing can be decoded from the scrap of paper sussex university sent me.
Except that her year abroad was at Universitaet Wien in 199?.
I don't think Sussex University wants to help.
Hope this helps smoking gun!
