Outrageous Melissa Caddick -BIGGEST Con Artist in Australian History
MILLIONAIRE MYSTERY My wife Melissa Caddick Was a Multi-Millionaire Hiding Scandalous Secret… I Was Blamed For Her Murder When She Vanished
Caddick 49, Had Siphoned Over £16 Million From More Than 50 People to Fund a Five-Star Lifestyle
New Revelations in The Outrageous Saga of Con Artist Melissa Caddick
BBC 5 AUG 2023
Caddick's foot was found washed up on a beach in Australia months after she went on the run
SHE fleeced her friends, family and even her own parents for cash - before disappearing into thin air.
Multi-millionaire Melissa Caddick mysteriously vanished from her £5.1million clifftop mansion in Sydney, Australia, just 24 hours after cops raided the property on suspicion of fraud in November 2020.
As police hunted her down, it emerged the businesswoman, 49, had siphoned over £16million from more than 50 people to fund a five-star lifestyle that included Aspen ski holidays, private chefs, Louis Vuitton watches and Christian Dior clothes.
But the mystery only deepened when four months later, a lone ASICS trainer, with the remains of a foot inside, was found by campers 400 kilometers south of her home.
DNA tests confirmed the human remains that had washed ashore were Caddick's.
Now a documentary called The Real Vanishing Act: The Missing Millionairess, on ITVX, will re-tell the extraordinary story of the woman dubbed the 'con artist of the century' through the eyes of investigators, close friends and her loyal husband, Anthony.
For those who entrusted 'financial planner' Caddick with their life-savings so that they could set their children up for a bright future, the saga is almost still too painful to talk about.
An inquest in May confirmed only that the mother-of one was dead. The most popular theory is that she took her own life by jumping from nearby cliffs, but darker theories have swirled that she cut off her own foot to put investigators off her trail.
In his first UK interview, Anthony tells The Sun that his name was "blackened" after being suspected by officers over Caddick's disappearance - and insists he only received $1.95 of her fortune.
“I believe she did take her life but I don’t listen to all the theories,” says the hairdresser, 41, who claims he knew nothing of his wife's crimes. “You can’t dwell on that because then you’d be in that rabbit hole forever.
