00:01:29Desappearance is being treated as suspicious
00:01:32Investigators searched these cliffs near her home
00:01:35with no confirmed sightings
00:01:37Detectives say they're investigating every possible scenario
00:01:41Good boy
00:01:44Bring it back Snowy, good boy Peter
00:01:52Good boy
00:01:53Thank you so much
00:01:54Snowy's running straight for the camera
00:01:56Melissa's the love of my life
00:01:59This was probably one of my fondest memories
00:02:02when I walked into our bathroom
00:02:04and found a love letter on the mirror
00:02:06in lipstick
00:02:07I loved the times when we were doing nothing
00:02:12when we were just in each other's company
00:02:14not having to talk
00:02:15Just being with each other
00:02:20On the 13th of November 2020
00:02:29I woke up in the morning
00:02:316am
00:02:32Then I went upstairs
00:02:35to the gym
00:02:36and Melissa's son was there
00:02:37I said to him
00:02:39Do you know where your mum is?
00:02:41He said something to the effect of
00:02:43She's gone for a run
00:02:45But Melissa's phone
00:02:50was in her walk-in wardrobe
00:02:51and I thought it was a little bit strange
00:02:54that she didn't take her phone
00:02:55But I was under the belief
00:02:58that, you know, she was somewhere
00:02:59but I just didn't know where
00:03:01And then I started to get a little bit worried
00:03:05I thought I'd better bring the police
00:03:07What was your name? Sorry
00:03:08So this is what we have so far
00:03:11Is that her phone?
00:03:13Yes
00:03:14So she's gone out with nothing
00:03:16Like no keys
00:03:17Like no money
00:03:18No nothing
00:03:19I think she's in black gym clothes
00:03:21and she would have had silver ASICs on
00:03:24We've got enough to start making a few inquiries
00:03:27Yeah, not a problem
00:03:30Police have spent the past seven days
00:03:33searching in all of Melissa's favourite spots
00:03:36including the coastal walk here at Dover Heights
00:03:39Dover Heights is one of the richest suburbs
00:03:45in the entire country in which to live
00:03:49Malcolm Turnbull, the former Prime Minister
00:03:54lives in the area
00:03:55It's hard to describe just how big this story was
00:04:01It was similar to the Madeleine McCann disappearance
00:04:04Because for a woman to go missing from that area is very rare
00:04:11People became really invested
00:04:13Where was she?
00:04:14What's happened?
00:04:15There have been no reported sightings
00:04:18It appears though she has vanished without a trace
00:04:22So seven days since police were notified
00:04:29They're stuck
00:04:30So they have a press conference
00:04:33I have Melissa's husband here
00:04:35and he'd like to say a few words
00:04:37Melissa is a dedicated and incredible mother
00:04:43A beautiful daughter, sister and loved wife
00:04:46We are asking the community to help bring Melissa home
00:04:49That is all
00:04:51Anthony, if she's listening, what would you want to say to her?
00:04:55Just come home, everything's taken care of
00:04:58You're not in trouble
00:04:59The first thing I did after watching this
00:05:02was turn to my colleagues
00:05:04and say there is something that does not add up here
00:05:09Absolutely
00:05:10Everything's taken care of, you're not in trouble
00:05:13Nothing could be further from the truth
00:05:16Because by then I knew that Melissa Caddick was in serious trouble
00:05:22And he knew it
00:05:24A few days earlier
00:05:29I get a tip-off about a businessman
00:05:32There'd been a raid at his premises
00:05:35So I rang the Australian Federal Police
00:05:39And they said, do you mean the search warrants
00:05:42at Willangra Road, Dover Heights
00:05:45And I said, oh, who's at Willangra Road?
00:05:48And they said, oh, some woman
00:05:50A Melissa Caddick
00:05:53I started to investigate
00:05:58Hi
00:06:03Hi
00:06:04How are you?
00:06:07Good, how are you?
00:06:08Not too bad
00:06:09A bit strange coming back to the old neighbourhood
00:06:11This is where Melissa grew up
00:06:14You know when you walk into someone's house
00:06:16It's a joyful place and there's love in the house
00:06:19And I would say that there was love in this house
00:06:22Yeah, most definitely
00:06:23We all ended up at high school together
00:06:27And we all sort of knew each other and knew our families
00:06:29We were into our fashion
00:06:31And going shopping, going out
00:06:33And having a good time
00:06:34She was a blast to be around
00:06:39I'm just remembering those stares
00:06:42They were a killer after a hang-up
00:06:43I would have trusted Melissa with my life
00:06:47Melissa was ambitious
00:06:49She went into her own business
00:06:52And I think she did really well for herself
00:06:54She was describing herself as a financial advisor
00:07:00By 2020, she's got more than 60 clients
00:07:04In some magazine, she'd given her golden rules
00:07:08For what you looked for in an investment advisor
00:07:11In mid-2013, Melissa Cadditch sets up a financial services vehicle
00:07:19Called Malabar Proprietary Limited
00:07:21See, an old velvet lounge
00:07:24Her mission statement is
00:07:26I'm rich and that's why I now have the time and the inclination
00:07:31To help you achieve perhaps not the same level as wealth as myself
00:07:37But I will help you get there
00:07:38And then he'd have fun in here too, wouldn't he?
00:07:41Told you
00:07:42I was a registered nurse for about 25 years
00:07:48I was a single mum
00:07:49And Melissa was interested in assisting single mums to invest
00:07:55And I became her client
00:07:58I was quite frankly grateful for a little bit of support
00:08:03I didn't have much of a social life
00:08:07Because my work demanded it
00:08:09And I lived a pretty frugal lifestyle
00:08:13I really only ever had one goal
00:08:18And that was to get in a position
00:08:19Where I was able to help my children
00:08:22Buy their own home when they were older
00:08:24Melissa made it perfectly clear
00:08:27That I was in a position to achieve my goals
00:08:31And help my children
00:08:32And I remember thinking
00:08:33How lucky am I?
00:08:38Melissa was a very successful businesswoman
00:08:42Living in a mansion in a wealthy suburb
00:08:46Mercedes-Benz, an Audi convertible
00:08:51Always decked out in Dior, Chanel
00:08:55You know, the beautiful jewellery
00:08:56I'm just thinking
00:09:01Why were authorities interested in this woman?
00:09:12Snowy, sit
00:09:14Around 6am I was feeding the dogs walkies
00:09:17Yes, they're gonna go walkies, yes
00:09:21And something was wrong
00:09:22Melissa said
00:09:23Oh Anthony, can you come upstairs?
00:09:30I've come upstairs
00:09:31And there's a whole bunch of federal police
00:09:35I was very shocked
00:09:38I was like, what is this, a drug bust or something?
00:09:41It's like, really?
00:09:42Like, I had no idea what they were doing there
00:09:45I didn't
00:09:45We got read the search warrant
00:09:50I asked Melissa to open the safe in this room over here
00:09:54Just show us where it is
00:09:55There's a Louis Vuitton watch in a safe
00:10:01One, two, three, nine
00:10:05We also want to seize any items of jewellery
00:10:09That are currently being worn by Melissa
00:10:12Personal items were being removed from the house
00:10:19Do you want to just describe the items
00:10:22And then who they belong to?
00:10:27That belongs to me
00:10:28That belongs to me
00:10:30That's mine
00:10:33That's the necklace
00:10:36Miss Katika, are there any particularly high value items here?
00:10:43It's like a little high value
00:10:45The necklaces were 80 to 100
00:10:54How did Melissa explain to you what was going on?
00:11:00She didn't explain to me anything that was going on
00:11:02I had just assumed that they'd made a mistake
00:11:07And that everything would go back to normal
00:11:09And that would be that
00:11:11That's what I thought
00:11:12I trusted my wife 100%
00:11:15So the search of the premises is now complete
00:11:17During the search warrant process
00:11:19Police secured a number of items
00:11:21To be either seized or moved
00:11:23Those items have been packaged and labelled
00:11:25Do you agree that is all the property
00:11:28That police are taking
00:11:29And that there is no other property?
00:11:32Yes
00:11:33Investors, family and friends
00:11:37They think the Melissa they knew
00:11:40Couldn't have done anything wrong
00:11:42There's been a dreadful misunderstanding
00:11:44So I start making inquiries
00:11:48And the story takes a dramatic twist
00:11:52I discover she's under investigation
00:11:55For a major fraud
00:11:58Worth tens of millions of dollars
00:12:02Officers are searching footage from Sydney airport
00:12:10Various marinas and transport hubs
00:12:12In a bid to find missing millionaire Melissa Caddick
00:12:15Melissa Caddick was last seen
00:12:17Wearing her active running wear
00:12:19She did not take no phone
00:12:21No wallets, keys
00:12:23Nothing
00:12:24We had some serious concerns for her safety
00:12:28Pictures are all being circulated on social media
00:12:32If you have dash cam, CCTV
00:12:35Please get in touch
00:12:37There was a degree of going out and actively searching
00:12:50Mainly around the spots that we liked to go
00:12:53I would take my car
00:12:56Because she would notice my car
00:12:58She'd hear my car
00:12:59The music that I was playing
00:13:01She knows
00:13:02She would think
00:13:03Oh, you know
00:13:04There's Anthony
00:13:05I can just imagine the emotion
00:13:09That was flowing through him
00:13:11And for her son
00:13:13And I was just hoping
00:13:15That maybe she'd just gone somewhere
00:13:17To clear her head
00:13:18I also had to keep myself very stable
00:13:22Trying to make sure that Melissa's son wasn't concerned
00:13:27There's a lot of conflicting things happening in your mind
00:13:30On top of that
00:13:35I'm a hairdresser by trade
00:13:36I couldn't work because of COVID
00:13:39I had to support a young child
00:13:42And I had no money
00:13:43Most of my money went to her bank accounts
00:13:46For bills
00:13:47Melissa's bank accounts were frozen
00:13:50To stop her from
00:13:52They said moving her money offshore
00:13:54Or something like that
00:13:56I'm just thinking
00:13:57I don't really understand what's happened
00:13:59Melissa presented herself as a financial planner
00:14:07She would be providing investment advice
00:14:10To individuals
00:14:11Investing through their retirement fund
00:14:13Or a pension fund
00:14:14But in mid-2020
00:14:17There was a complaint made
00:14:19With the Australian regulator
00:14:22Which is ASIC
00:14:23There was a suspicion
00:14:27That Melissa Caddick
00:14:29And her company
00:14:30Might be operating without
00:14:32Without an Australian financial services licence
00:14:36We started with reviewing the documents
00:14:43To put the story together
00:14:44Very quickly
00:14:49We confirmed that she was operating without a proper licence
00:14:51Alarm bells were rang at that stage
00:14:55So these are files for each investor
00:15:02There were 60 to 70 investors
00:15:05Melissa said that she had set up a Comsec trading account in the investor's name
00:15:12Comsec is a share trading platform
00:15:14Where you actively trade shares
00:15:16These three deposits on the 1st of July from investors
00:15:20In amounts of nearly $2.3 million
00:15:22There were thousands of files
00:15:26But we managed to find a number of spreadsheets of interest
00:15:30So to someone who hadn't had a Comsec account before
00:15:34This looked quite legitimate
00:15:36But in fact
00:15:38If you actually looked at the statement
00:15:40Compared to a proper statement
00:15:41You would identify certain irregularities
00:15:44The headers and the footers
00:15:47Had been copied and pasted
00:15:49But the main difference between the two
00:15:52Was the account number
00:15:54In this dummy one that Comsec provided
00:15:56Is seven digits
00:15:57However in the ones that were provided to investors
00:16:02There were only six digits
00:16:04Nothing in the statements was real
00:16:09The account in the investor's name never existed
00:16:13The next question was
00:16:16Where was the money going?
00:16:17Thank you
00:16:18So following the money through
00:16:21There was a number of transactions
00:16:23Going out of the company's bank accounts
00:16:25Once the investor monies had been deposited
00:16:27In this circumstance
00:16:28The funds from investors
00:16:30Was going to Melissa's personal account
00:16:33And you'll see there
00:16:34The credit of $1.5 million coming in
00:16:36So what was she spending it on?
00:16:39This month $350,000 went to purchase
00:16:43Just one item
00:16:43Stella
00:16:44Kristen Dior for $26,000
00:16:48Flight centre $35,000
00:16:52She paid her stay at a ski lodge every year
00:16:55In Aspen
00:16:55Yes we found a wild Melissa
00:16:59They seem to like diving into the snow
00:17:02In two weeks
00:17:04Melissa spent $90,000
00:17:06On personal expenses
00:17:08Luxury items
00:17:09Really nice holidays
00:17:11This was littered throughout all her credit cards
00:17:18And personal bank accounts
00:17:19To see it on paper was
00:17:21Which was quite astonishing
00:17:23Okay wow
00:17:33By now I've heard from authorities
00:17:36That we're looking at anywhere between
00:17:39$20 and $40 million is missing
00:17:41Using this information
00:17:43I write a story
00:17:45It appears in the paper
00:17:47Saturday the 4th of December
00:17:49She's the con artist of the century
00:17:57I think we have 4 million unique readers
00:18:00And the story absolutely blew up
00:18:05Con artist of the century
00:18:06Con artist of the century
00:18:08Melissa Caddick
00:18:09Con woman of the century
00:18:11I was like what the
00:18:12I was angry because
00:18:15Let's just say she's sitting there
00:18:18Watching con woman of the century
00:18:20You think she's going to want to come home mate?
00:18:23No
00:18:23Saturday morning
00:18:26December the 4th
00:18:28Oh my goodness me
00:18:31Thought just maybe
00:18:34She couldn't possibly do it to me as well
00:18:36Just maybe
00:18:37And I checked
00:18:38And I just went
00:18:40Oh yeah
00:18:43She has
00:18:44I
00:18:44It was an unbelievable thing
00:18:49Because I wasn't just one of Melissa's clients
00:18:53I was one of her closest childhood friends
00:18:56She lived a few doors up from me
00:19:01As very young girls
00:19:02We were entwined with one another
00:19:05She was at my wedding
00:19:12Melissa came to visit me in the hospital
00:19:16After I had my first baby
00:19:18And vice versa
00:19:20I was at her milestones as well
00:19:23There was trust
00:19:28That came with the longevity
00:19:29Of our friendship
00:19:31But she had been stealing
00:19:33Everything that I had contributed
00:19:36From the beginning to the end
00:19:39And had no intention
00:19:41Of investing any of it
00:19:43I was shocked
00:19:45Dumbfounded
00:19:47And you could have probably scraped me off the floor
00:19:49The Melissa that I knew
00:19:53She had integrity
00:19:55And then it just got worse
00:19:59And worse
00:20:00It wasn't just me
00:20:04That invested my life savings with Melissa
00:20:06It was my entire family's life savings as well
00:20:10Several family members
00:20:13Several millions of dollars collectively
00:20:16I then discovered
00:20:18I then discovered
00:20:18That it wasn't just my family affected
00:20:21It was also Melissa's entire network of family and friends
00:20:27Cousins, aunties
00:20:29Other friends, brother's friends
00:20:32Close friends of others as well
00:20:36Her parents and her brother
00:20:40Were apparently among investors
00:20:42That have lost an awful lot of money in this
00:20:44These people were not billionaires
00:20:45They were day-to-day people
00:20:47Who had invested their life savings with Melissa
00:20:49All up over the years
00:20:53She stole about $23 million
00:20:55Of everybody's life savings
00:20:58And were all basically
00:21:01Completely
00:21:02Brilliant
00:21:05That's heartbreaking
00:21:07It was, you know, devastating
00:21:10The word I would use
00:21:13Would be too painful
00:21:14I don't know how you
00:21:16If you
00:21:17I can say distaste
00:21:18I find it too painful
00:21:20To talk about what she's done
00:21:21I find that really
00:21:23Um
00:21:25We have
00:21:40A Sydney businesswoman
00:21:42Who's gone missing
00:21:43And a multi-million dollar fraud
00:21:46It was a major story
00:21:48But when it came out
00:21:51I could never have imagined
00:21:53The impact this article would make
00:21:56Very quickly
00:22:08Social media went crazy
00:22:11What kind of person does that?
00:22:23People could not get enough of this story
00:22:27I was in the canine
00:22:28And con artist of the century
00:22:31Melissa Caddick
00:22:32May have misappropriated
00:22:34Between $25 million and $40 million
00:22:37I thought, far out
00:22:39Why colour crime?
00:22:41I wanted more information
00:22:43So I just typed in Melissa Caddick
00:22:45And bam
00:22:46I jumped on the Facebook group
00:22:48Melissa Caddick and the missing millions
00:22:50My name is Michael Michael
00:23:00And that's my Facebook name
00:23:02I basically provide an ironing service
00:23:04For wealthy socialites
00:23:07Melissa would be my ideal customer
00:23:12I saw the news item on TV
00:23:15And I thought
00:23:16How can a woman just disappear?
00:23:18This is not possible
00:23:19I had a look on Facebook
00:23:20For a discussion group
00:23:22The primary function
00:23:24Of this discussion group
00:23:26Was to find Melissa
00:23:27And I thought
00:23:28This is my little project now
00:23:31People had sightings of her
00:23:34On boats
00:23:35On planes
00:23:41All around Australia
00:23:43The police were run off their feet
00:23:47Trying to chase down the leads
00:23:49To find out
00:23:50Exactly where Melissa Caddick was
00:23:52And people were
00:23:55Discussing their own theories as well
00:23:58I believe she's escaped the country
00:24:01Broadsters
00:24:03They have a
00:24:04Shit hits the fan
00:24:05Escape plan
00:24:06So obviously she had
00:24:08Accomplices
00:24:09That's all I have to say
00:24:11At the moment
00:24:12Thank you
00:24:12And I think
00:24:13Melissa Caddick's husband
00:24:15Is hiding something
00:24:16Are you pulled by your wife's actions?
00:24:22Do you have anything to say
00:24:23To all the victims?
00:24:25I understand that
00:24:26There's a lot of people
00:24:27That have lost money
00:24:28But it's not about
00:24:31A financial crime to me
00:24:33It's about
00:24:34A missing wife
00:24:36Melissa and I met
00:24:43At a hairdressing salon
00:24:45In Bondi Junction
00:24:462005
00:24:48I did her hair
00:24:50She was married
00:24:53At that time
00:24:54She was pregnant
00:24:55And she had her son
00:24:56A little bit later on
00:24:58But I really enjoyed
00:25:01Being around Melissa
00:25:02In 2011
00:25:05She invited me for lunch
00:25:07And we discovered
00:25:09That we had the same birth date
00:25:11And that we went to the same school
00:25:14As we were saying goodbye
00:25:20We just had a kiss
00:25:21Sparks
00:25:22The chemistry sort of ignited
00:25:24She certainly wasn't happy
00:25:33In her marriage
00:25:33And the beginning of 2012
00:25:36Melissa split up
00:25:37With her husband
00:25:39I just helped support her
00:25:42And you know
00:25:44I kind of took on
00:25:45And more of a father figure
00:25:47For Melissa's son
00:25:48I found her
00:25:53Very funny
00:25:54And open
00:25:55And she was always
00:25:57Herself around me
00:25:58I wasn't with Melissa
00:26:01For money
00:26:01For a car
00:26:02For living in a nice house
00:26:04I just loved her
00:26:06That is total bullshit
00:26:10I'm sorry
00:26:11But it is
00:26:12I mean
00:26:12Who's going to believe that
00:26:13In my opinion
00:26:15She was a sugar mama
00:26:16And Anthony
00:26:17He's the toy boy
00:26:19In the shade
00:26:21In the shade
00:26:22When I saw the press conference
00:26:25I thought
00:26:26The suspicion lands
00:26:27With Anthony
00:26:28Well okay
00:26:31You know how much we love you
00:26:34You just come home
00:26:35Everything's taken care of
00:26:37You're not in trouble
00:26:38That is bizarre
00:26:41If my missus went missing
00:26:43I'd be beside myself
00:26:44He's not behaving
00:26:46Like a normal husband would
00:26:48Whose wife has just gone missing
00:26:50Thank you
00:26:50Adam is there anything
00:26:52You wanted to say at all
00:26:53Or
00:26:54Her brother Adam Grimley
00:26:55Then said a few words
00:26:57Yeah I'd like to read a statement
00:26:59Sure
00:26:59He could barely keep himself together
00:27:02Melissa
00:27:03Please let us know
00:27:07That you're safe and sound
00:27:08We love you
00:27:09You can see him struggling
00:27:11To actually get the words out
00:27:13But Anthony Coletti
00:27:15He showed no affect
00:27:18He was very calm
00:27:19That's when he became the subject
00:27:22Of a lot of speculation
00:27:24Would you say Anthony's been proactive
00:27:42In the missing persons operation
00:27:44I'd say he's doing
00:27:45What he can to assist us
00:27:47When we ask for help
00:27:49Anything we've asked for
00:27:50He'll give us
00:27:51But um
00:27:52Yeah
00:27:54He isn't always ringing us
00:27:57It's um
00:27:58A little bit different
00:27:59To what we would normally expect
00:28:01See he's not even meeting
00:28:04Gretchen's expectations
00:28:05And I think she's got low expectations
00:28:08In this case
00:28:09Normally if your wife goes missing
00:28:11You'll be ringing the coppers
00:28:13Are there any new leads
00:28:14Mr Coletti decides
00:28:16Oh
00:28:17He'll let New South Wales police
00:28:19Come to him
00:28:20It just rings alarm bells
00:28:23You know
00:28:23Just reading his body language
00:28:28Anthony I don't believe
00:28:30He's trustworthy
00:28:30As husband and wife
00:28:32They'd cover for each other
00:28:34Anthony Coletti
00:28:37Was the toy boy
00:28:39That she could get to do things for her
00:28:41She certainly wore the pants
00:28:43Always from the very beginning
00:28:45She made the decisions he follows
00:28:47So at this point
00:28:51We can't rule anything out
00:28:53It was possible that
00:28:55Melissa was hiding somewhere
00:28:57Does she drive?
00:28:59Her car's here
00:28:59She's gone on foot
00:29:00Nothing
00:29:00She's in
00:29:01And that Anthony was a suspect
00:29:03In her disappearance
00:29:05How did she seem last night?
00:29:08Look she was fine
00:29:09Because soon after she goes missing
00:29:12We discovered that Anthony Coletti
00:29:15Had not reported his wife missing
00:29:18Until 30 hours after she disappeared
00:29:21So she's been gone
00:29:23Approximately 5.30am Thursday morning till now
00:29:26So it's way over 24 hours
00:29:28It's 30 hours
00:29:3230 hours
00:29:33I mean who does that?
00:29:35There's a good possibility
00:29:36In that 30 hours
00:29:37Anthony either helped her escape
00:29:40Or took her somewhere
00:29:41Can I cut some idea off you?
00:29:44Yes
00:29:44We're going to Melissa Caddick's house
00:29:50It's like Elvis' mansion to me
00:29:53It's going to become a tourist attraction
00:29:55I wanted to come and see her exit route
00:29:58Okay
00:29:59If I'm Melissa Caddick
00:30:01Where do I go?
00:30:03Lots of CCTV cameras down the street
00:30:06So let's go left
00:30:08There's no CCTV on this house
00:30:11My gut feel that she came this way
00:30:14No CCTV cameras around here at all
00:30:18Rightio
00:30:19Melissa's here
00:30:205.30 in the morning
00:30:22No street lights
00:30:23In the perfect place to be picked up
00:30:25Out of, you know, prying eyes
00:30:27The closest marina is Rose Bay
00:30:32In the darkness of the night
00:30:34She could have convinced someone to take her up the coast
00:30:37The time that she disappeared we had lockdown
00:30:39So we were wearing face masks
00:30:41Disguised
00:30:42She would have offshore accounts
00:30:45And I think Anthony is 100% covering for Melissa
00:30:48I think that's pretty much all the information I can give you guys
00:30:52Financial investigators
00:30:56Who after months of probing her books
00:30:58Today laid bare her devious ways
00:31:01She was meticulous and systematic about it
00:31:03So ASIC present evidence of a criminal offence
00:31:08To the federal court
00:31:09Three day hearing is heard in June 21
00:31:12And in November 2021
00:31:15The decision was finalised
00:31:19Yes, start finding some of these assets
00:31:23Thank you
00:31:23The goal is to get as much as we possibly can back for investors
00:31:30We identified two properties
00:31:31There was the Audi and the Mercedes
00:31:37Luxury and designer items
00:31:41Asset's worth north of about $15 million
00:31:45We could actually see where this money potentially had gone
00:31:48There's just so much here
00:31:53Everything's like brand new
00:31:58The Chanel bag
00:31:59Pristine condition
00:32:00The Louis Vuitton bag
00:32:02Absolutely mint condition
00:32:03The collection is amazing
00:32:05When I compare myself now
00:32:08To her lifestyle
00:32:12These are three of her dresses
00:32:15I think, oh my goodness
00:32:17I was paying for that
00:32:19Personally
00:32:20I have lost around half a million dollars
00:32:24Everything has changed
00:32:26My mum
00:32:28It's hurt her terribly
00:32:31And it has altered her life
00:32:34You know, I can't help my kids now
00:32:36Like, not in the way that I anticipated
00:32:38The devastation that's been caused in their lives
00:32:42Can't be underestimated
00:32:44However, it wasn't simple for investors
00:32:49To get their money back
00:32:51Assets like this house can't be sold just yet
00:32:54Because Melissa Caddick is still classified
00:32:55As a missing person
00:32:57And the courts are reluctant to make orders
00:32:59In people's absence
00:33:01That just means it's going to take even longer
00:33:03Before her long-suffering investors learn
00:33:05Just how much they'll get back
00:33:07If anything at all
00:33:09Everyone wanted to know
00:33:12Where the hell is Melissa Caddick hiding it?
00:33:18The police
00:33:19They had nothing
00:33:21But what we didn't know at the time
00:33:25Was there was a massive twist
00:33:27Just round the corner
00:33:29We have major breaking news this morning
00:33:38In the search for missing Sydney woman
00:33:40Melissa Caddick
00:33:41The police are expected to announce
00:33:43In the next couple of minutes
00:33:44This major breakthrough in the case
00:33:46On the morning
00:33:48People were ringing
00:33:49What's happening?
00:33:50Have you heard this?
00:33:51Have you heard that?
00:33:53Somebody called out
00:33:54Something's coming on
00:33:55Come and have a look
00:33:56All right
00:33:57Well good morning ladies and gentlemen
00:33:58I'm joined with
00:33:59And I thought
00:34:00Oh fabulous
00:34:01They've found her
00:34:04I want to provide you all with
00:34:06Details of a significant breakthrough
00:34:08In the investigation
00:34:09Into the disappearance of Melissa Caddick
00:34:12I can now inform you that
00:34:14Last Sunday
00:34:14A shoe was located on the shoreline
00:34:17Of the Bordana National Park
00:34:20South of Tathra
00:34:21Within that shoe were the remains
00:34:27Of a human foot
00:34:28Wow
00:34:29Wow
00:34:31What the hell is going on?
00:34:36I got butterflies with that one
00:34:38Yeah
00:34:39The DNA from the foot
00:34:41Was last night
00:34:42Matched to DNA sample
00:34:43From Melissa Caddick's toothbrush
00:34:45It's actually upsetting
00:34:48It remains a mystery
00:34:50As to when and how
00:34:51She came into the water
00:34:52And that'll be subject
00:34:53Of ongoing investigations
00:34:54So thank you everyone
00:34:55Thank you
00:34:56This was monumental
00:35:00How?
00:35:03Why?
00:35:04Where was the wrist of her body?
00:35:05How she came to be in the ocean
00:35:07Is a mystery
00:35:08It was a bombshell Dana
00:35:10Because so many people
00:35:11Thought she was still alive
00:35:13This story
00:35:15It was only just beginning
00:35:17When that fort landed
00:35:25According to most people
00:35:28There were three plausible scenarios
00:35:30At that time
00:35:30One
00:35:32She was murdered
00:35:33Two
00:35:36Suicide
00:35:37And three
00:35:39She escaped
00:35:41And is living overseas
00:35:42People I didn't even know
00:35:45I'm just paying for my butter
00:35:46And somebody wants to tell me
00:35:48What their theory is
00:35:50Every single person
00:35:52Had a belief
00:35:53Logic would suggest
00:35:54That Melissa did take her own life
00:35:57I think suicide's
00:35:59The least likely option
00:36:01She was either killed
00:36:02By people who knew her
00:36:04The next popular view
00:36:06Was that she had cut off
00:36:08Her own foot
00:36:10The only fact
00:36:12That we can rely on
00:36:13Is that she's lost a foot
00:36:14We can't assume death
00:36:16From that
00:36:16She could still be alive
00:36:19But you honestly think
00:36:20She's capable of
00:36:21Absolutely
00:36:22Yep
00:36:23The conspiracy theories
00:36:25Just went
00:36:26Crazy
00:36:28Crazy
00:36:28Crazy
00:36:29And then
00:36:45We get another twist
00:36:46Joining me now
00:36:48For Sky News
00:36:48Exclusive Assistant Police Commissioner
00:36:50Mick Willing
00:36:51Thank you Sharon
00:36:52We finally get
00:36:53Some insight
00:36:54As to
00:36:55What police beliefs are
00:36:57About Melissa's disappearance
00:36:59Are you treating this now
00:37:01As a murder investigation?
00:37:02Obviously
00:37:03You know
00:37:03The circumstances
00:37:04Of her leaving
00:37:05The way that she did
00:37:06She left her keys behind
00:37:07Her mobile phone
00:37:08Her personal belongings
00:37:09It suggested
00:37:10That it may well
00:37:11Have been suicide
00:37:12Police believe
00:37:14The most likely scenario
00:37:16Is that Melissa Caddick
00:37:17Took her own life
00:37:18After vanishing
00:37:19From Dover Heights
00:37:21Now I'm calling
00:37:22Bullshit on that
00:37:22In my opinion
00:37:23No way
00:37:24Melissa suicided
00:37:26She has a son
00:37:27Knowing Melissa
00:37:28And how she felt
00:37:29About Heights
00:37:30No
00:37:32It just seems
00:37:32That it's a nice way
00:37:33To wrap the story up
00:37:34Suicide
00:37:35I think
00:37:36A cover up
00:37:37Said the police
00:37:38And close the case
00:37:39Commissioner Mick Willing
00:37:39Thank you so much
00:37:40For coming in
00:37:41If she died
00:37:44By suicide
00:37:45Was it possible
00:37:47For her body
00:37:49To have washed
00:37:50Down to a remote beach
00:37:52On the south coast?
00:37:58Melissa was last seen
00:37:59Physically
00:38:00At her home address
00:38:02In Dover Heights
00:38:03Our marine area command
00:38:04Looking at
00:38:05Drift patterns
00:38:06And coastal patterns
00:38:07They were able
00:38:08To advise us
00:38:09That an object
00:38:10That went into
00:38:10The water
00:38:11Around the Dover Heights
00:38:13Area
00:38:14Could likely
00:38:14Drift down
00:38:15As far as
00:38:16Bermagui
00:38:16And even further south
00:38:17Which appears
00:38:17To have been the case
00:38:18But questions linger
00:38:20About whether
00:38:21The shoe
00:38:22Had been in the water
00:38:23For that long
00:38:24My name is
00:38:26Dr Paula Magni
00:38:27I'm a forensic scientist
00:38:30With an expertise
00:38:31In aquatic forensics
00:38:33Dr Paula Magni
00:38:34You're not so sure
00:38:36About the timeline
00:38:37Here
00:38:38Because
00:38:39Of the barnacles
00:38:40On the shoe
00:38:41Explain that to us
00:38:42According to the police
00:38:44The lady
00:38:45Jumped from a cliff
00:38:47The shoe
00:38:48Was in water
00:38:49For about three months
00:38:51My feeling is that
00:38:54To find the truth
00:38:55We have to use
00:38:57Something more
00:38:58Than just the tide
00:38:58Specifically focusing
00:39:01On barnacle growth
00:39:03On the shoe
00:39:04With my colleagues
00:39:07We developed
00:39:07An experiment
00:39:08The scuba divers
00:39:13That are recovering
00:39:15Bois
00:39:16Covered by fabrics
00:39:17So that's pretty much it
00:39:21We know the shoe
00:39:24Is made of
00:39:25Synthetic material
00:39:26Similar to the one
00:39:27Of my experiment
00:39:28Neoprene
00:39:29So let's have a look
00:39:32How my neoprene
00:39:33In my experiment
00:39:34Look like
00:39:36After three months
00:39:38Spent in the water column
00:39:40The amount
00:39:46Of colonization
00:39:48Is massive
00:39:50These are the picture
00:39:53Of the shoe
00:39:55Of Melissa
00:39:56Kedick
00:39:57So this is a shoe
00:40:00That allegedly
00:40:01Spent three months
00:40:02In the ocean
00:40:03Very clean
00:40:09Should be way
00:40:11Dirtier
00:40:12I have way more
00:40:16Questions to ask
00:40:17Fishes spend some time
00:40:20Underwater
00:40:20Without the opportunity
00:40:22To get exposed
00:40:23To barnacles
00:40:24Like for example
00:40:25In a vehicle
00:40:26And then has been
00:40:26Released at some point
00:40:28But the other possibility
00:40:32Is that
00:40:33Has been dumped
00:40:34Into water
00:40:35Just a few days
00:40:37Before it's been found
00:40:37The foot
00:40:41How did it get there
00:40:43Was she murdered
00:40:45Was she hiding herself
00:40:48Or had she
00:40:49Jumped off the cliffs
00:40:50Near the house
00:40:51And what did
00:40:54Anthony Coletti know
00:40:56Whenever there's
00:41:02An unusual death
00:41:03There is a
00:41:04Coronial inquest
00:41:06The police
00:41:08Prepared their brief
00:41:10For the coroner
00:41:10But we did not know
00:41:12What was in that brief
00:41:14After months
00:41:17Of waiting
00:41:18Waiting
00:41:19And waiting
00:41:20Finally
00:41:22The inquest
00:41:24Begins
00:41:25Murdered or suicide
00:41:33The first day
00:41:34Of an inquest
00:41:35Into the disappearance
00:41:36Of missing Sydney woman
00:41:37Melissa Caddick
00:41:38Melissa Caddick vanished
00:41:40In November 2020
00:41:41Leaving so many
00:41:43Unanswered questions
00:41:44So this inquiry
00:41:45Will start today
00:41:46And it will go on
00:41:47For two weeks
00:41:48The inquest
00:41:49Will finally provide
00:41:51The answers
00:41:52To what happened
00:41:53To Melissa
00:41:54I can't wait
00:42:03To see how this ends
00:42:06We've just had
00:42:16Played to the court
00:42:17A body cap
00:42:18Of police
00:42:20Going to interview
00:42:21Anthony Coletti
00:42:22When he's first
00:42:23Talked about his wife
00:42:25Going missing
00:42:25And that was pretty wild
00:42:27His story
00:42:28He just wasn't adding up
00:42:29Hey Anthony
00:42:31Yes
00:42:32G'day I'm Sergeant Riley
00:42:33I'm the one who spoke
00:42:34To you on the phone
00:42:34Yeah come on up
00:42:35Yeah no worries
00:42:36He gave three
00:42:38Three different versions
00:42:39Of when he'd last
00:42:40Seen his wife
00:42:42I saw her at
00:42:4412 o'clock at night
00:42:45I believe I see
00:42:45You told me on the phone
00:42:47That you last saw her
00:42:48Yesterday at 5.30 in the morning
00:42:49But now you're telling
00:42:50My offside is here
00:42:51No it's when
00:42:52And also
00:42:53He's adamant
00:42:55That his wife
00:42:57Normally got up
00:42:58At the crack of dawn
00:42:59And went for a run
00:43:01She was not here
00:43:02I just assumed
00:43:03That she went for a jog
00:43:04That's the sneakers
00:43:05That she's got on
00:43:06She does that every morning
00:43:07But we've now learned
00:43:09Through CCTV footage
00:43:11From the house
00:43:12For weeks beforehand
00:43:14She'd never
00:43:15Got up early in the morning
00:43:17To go for a run
00:43:18So I mean
00:43:19It's just extraordinary
00:43:21Yeah
00:43:22Look Anthony
00:43:24I'll be honest with you
00:43:24I'm a bit worried
00:43:25That you're not telling me
00:43:26The full story
00:43:27About what's going on
00:43:27This is the full story
00:43:29Like I said
00:43:29The story seems to be
00:43:31Chopping and changing
00:43:32A little bit
00:43:32And I'm concerned
00:43:33That you know something more
00:43:34I haven't
00:43:35The best policy
00:43:37Is to honesty
00:43:37Right now
00:43:38To let us know
00:43:39Because we want to find out
00:43:40I'm concerned where she is
00:43:41I want to find where she is
00:43:42Good
00:43:42So I need you to tell me everything
00:43:43And I need you to tell me the truth
00:43:44It's everything
00:43:45Okay
00:43:45Sergeant Riley
00:43:47Clearly thought
00:43:48Anthony Coletti's
00:43:49Behaviour was suspicious
00:43:51Then
00:43:53Anthony Coletti's
00:43:55Own lawyer
00:43:56Judy Swan
00:43:57She says
00:43:59Sergeant Riley
00:44:00My client
00:44:02In that video
00:44:03He was crying
00:44:05I'm fine
00:44:05Like I said
00:44:06If you can find her
00:44:07That's the only thing
00:44:09You can do for me
00:44:10Right now
00:44:10And Sergeant Riley said
00:44:13No
00:44:14They were fake tears
00:44:16We'll let you be for now
00:44:18And we'll be in contact very shortly
00:44:19And I will be too
00:44:20Right now
00:44:21Thanks Anthony
00:44:22Thanks Anthony
00:44:23Anthony was clearly
00:44:26A prime suspect
00:44:27In their minds
00:44:28All we journalists
00:44:34Are scrabbling
00:44:35We've got to fire
00:44:36Her husband
00:44:38The suspect
00:44:38Pretty explosive
00:44:39At least one senior police officer
00:44:45Was of the view
00:44:46That Coletti
00:44:47Had likely killed the deceased
00:44:48The inquest has been told
00:44:50Oh my god
00:44:51Is there anything to say
00:44:59About the evidence
00:45:00Today
00:45:00Mr Coletti
00:45:01Shit
00:45:02Did you do different versions of police
00:45:05Is there anything to carry me
00:45:06To make in touch
00:45:07Yeah
00:45:08It's possible
00:45:09Mr Coletti
00:45:10Do you know
00:45:11More than you were letting
00:45:11On to police
00:45:12Now Sue explains
00:45:14Anthony's demeanour
00:45:16At that press conference
00:45:17Jeez I've got a headache
00:45:20The question that we all want to know
00:45:27Is what was he doing
00:45:28For the 30 hours
00:45:29That Melissa
00:45:29Was missing
00:45:31The next stage
00:45:33Of the inquest
00:45:34We are going to be hearing
00:45:36From Anthony Coletti
00:45:38In person
00:45:39The inquest
00:45:40Is due to hear
00:45:40From Caddick's husband
00:45:41Anthony Coletti
00:45:42Tomorrow
00:45:43This is what
00:45:44We've all been
00:45:45Waiting for
00:45:46You look lovely
00:45:52You look natural
00:45:53You look natural
00:45:53And young
00:45:54It's really hard work
00:45:55Looking natural
00:45:56You know
00:45:56I know
00:45:57Luckily I don't have
00:45:58To look natural anymore
00:45:59I was about 12
00:46:05When I first met
00:46:07Anthony Coletti
00:46:07He cut my hair
00:46:09He was a junior
00:46:12At this hairdressing salon
00:46:14That I attended
00:46:15Anthony
00:46:16This is lovely
00:46:17How are you doing?
00:46:19He always went the extra mile
00:46:21Comfortable?
00:46:21Yes
00:46:22Thank you
00:46:22I mean he was just so sweet
00:46:23It was sickly
00:46:24Loving the colour
00:46:25Yeah it's really nice
00:46:27I like it
00:46:27The reaction of the public
00:46:30Has been
00:46:30He's an awful person
00:46:32I will have to give it
00:46:33Two shampoos
00:46:34If that's cool
00:46:34Well he was being portrayed
00:46:36As a violent criminal
00:46:37Which was just not
00:46:38The Anthony
00:46:39That we knew
00:46:40And that Anthony
00:46:41Was a toy boy
00:46:42I don't know what a toy boy is
00:46:44Because I've never had one
00:46:45So if someone's willing
00:46:47To show me what a toy boy is
00:46:49I might be able to make
00:46:50A comment on it
00:46:50What is a toy boy?
00:46:51I have no idea
00:46:52Do you know what a toy boy is?
00:46:53Well I've never had one either
00:46:54Come on over
00:46:55Anthony said
00:46:57Can you help me?
00:46:58I'll fix the length first
00:47:00Great thank you
00:47:00And I said
00:47:01Are you prepared to do my hair?
00:47:03I just really wanted you
00:47:04To come do my hair
00:47:04And he came and did a home visit
00:47:06And my husband
00:47:08Places cotton socks
00:47:09He said
00:47:10You really have to help this guy
00:47:12You're beautiful
00:47:14You're welcome
00:47:14Mr Coletti is expected
00:47:21To give evidence
00:47:22As the coroner's inquest continues
00:47:24So where have you come from?
00:47:32I've come from home
00:47:33I don't want to miss anything
00:47:34In the coroner's door
00:47:35I'd like to see him
00:47:37Being asked some hard questions
00:47:38The main one is
00:47:41Anthony
00:47:42What part did you play?
00:47:57I've just seen something
00:47:59That I have never seen in court before
00:48:02Anthony came to the stand
00:48:10Council assisting was putting
00:48:11To Anthony
00:48:13Propositions
00:48:14Which required Anthony
00:48:16To think objectively
00:48:18About the circumstances
00:48:20So the phrase
00:48:22From an objective perspective
00:48:24Was put to Anthony
00:48:25It became quite clear
00:48:27The language of the questions
00:48:29Were beyond his
00:48:30Vocabulary
00:48:31Yeah absolutely
00:48:32So at one stage
00:48:33He just said
00:48:34My mind doesn't work like you
00:48:37I can't grasp what you're saying
00:48:39He's being asked to relive the trauma
00:48:43Of his wife having gone missing
00:48:46He had shut down
00:48:47He just couldn't take it anymore
00:48:50The coroner
00:48:52She has adjourned his evidence
00:48:55For the moment
00:48:56Because the witness
00:48:58Was deemed
00:48:59Unable to understand the question
00:49:01His lawyer
00:49:02Judy Swan
00:49:03Said Mr Coletti
00:49:04Was distressed
00:49:05Coroner sitting said
00:49:08That he should
00:49:09Go and be medically checked
00:49:10I tried
00:49:14Many of my medical practitioner friends
00:49:17And no one would
00:49:18See Anthony
00:49:19All Anthony could think of
00:49:21Was what about
00:49:22You know the poor son
00:49:23What about my poor son
00:49:24Just take me to McDonald's
00:49:26I remember him saying that
00:49:28Take me to McDonald's
00:49:30And I started to laugh
00:49:31And then Anthony and I
00:49:33I took him to McDonald's
00:49:35In a nutshell
00:49:36I mean it just
00:49:40There's red flags everywhere
00:49:42It seems like he's
00:49:43Trying to buy time
00:49:45I think he's not willing
00:49:47To disclose the truth
00:49:48This is like a mini series
00:49:51So the first week
00:49:56Of the inquest
00:49:57It escalated
00:49:59A lot of doubts
00:50:00About Anthony Coletti
00:50:03Thanks John
00:50:04Bye
00:50:04But of course
00:50:06The police were saying
00:50:08They believed
00:50:09Melissa Caddick
00:50:10Took her own life
00:50:11There's a comp
00:50:13And just when you thought
00:50:15This whole story
00:50:16Could not be more bizarre
00:50:18We learn
00:50:20The police's main theory
00:50:21On how that foot
00:50:24Had become detached
00:50:26From the body
00:50:27Police suggesting
00:50:36The 49 year old
00:50:37Jumped from the cliffs
00:50:38Near her Sydney home
00:50:39Supported by ocean currents
00:50:41The 49 year old
00:50:42Would have first drifted north
00:50:44Potentially towards
00:50:45A shark breeding ground
00:50:46Before then heading south
00:50:48What the?
00:50:50Rubbish
00:50:52Is it possible
00:50:53That a shark
00:50:53Ate the shoe
00:50:54And then vomited it?
00:50:56Yeah
00:50:56I mean
00:50:57Everything is possible
00:50:58It is possible
00:51:00If they are hungry
00:51:01How does it sound to you?
00:51:04Complicated
00:51:05Do you think Anthony
00:51:12Will come along today?
00:51:12He was here by this time
00:51:13Yesterday
00:51:14I don't know
00:51:16You know
00:51:18Without hearing
00:51:19From Anthony
00:51:20It's hard to know
00:51:21What to believe
00:51:22Was it that she died
00:51:24By suicide
00:51:25And that there was
00:51:26No one else involved
00:51:27Or is it
00:51:28That Anthony Coletti
00:51:30Is hiding something?
00:51:31Yeah
00:51:32Well let's see
00:51:32If he's going to turn up again
00:51:34A lot of speculation
00:51:36As to
00:51:37Would he be well enough
00:51:39To resume
00:51:40He's going to soldier on
00:51:43No matter what
00:51:44No matter what
00:51:44Grab a seat
00:51:51And you are talking to me
00:51:57So you can keep looking at me
00:51:58Let's watch this one now
00:51:59Okay
00:52:02Let's watch this
00:52:03I saw her at
00:52:0512 o'clock
00:52:06At night
00:52:06She told me on the phone
00:52:08That you last saw her yesterday
00:52:09At 5.30 in the morning
00:52:11But now you're telling
00:52:11My offside is here
00:52:12No it's Wednesday
00:52:13So you're giving the police
00:52:17Inconsistent accounts
00:52:19Of when you last saw Melissa
00:52:20Yeah
00:52:21I couldn't even tell them
00:52:22What day it was on
00:52:24Right
00:52:24So
00:52:26Trauma
00:52:27Right you're saying
00:52:28It's trauma
00:52:29Yeah
00:52:29It seems like
00:52:31You're changing your story
00:52:33Yes
00:52:33For the sake of
00:52:34Being caught out here
00:52:35So you're changing your story
00:52:36Yeah that's right
00:52:37I mean are you hiding something
00:52:39No
00:52:39No
00:52:39I'm traumatised
00:52:41And you know
00:52:42I'm erratic
00:52:43Then I found a phone
00:52:44And then it just all
00:52:45Started
00:52:46Not making sense
00:52:48Like I said
00:52:48She does not miss
00:52:49She's diligent
00:52:50She does not miss a thing
00:52:51Not a meeting
00:52:52Not
00:52:52That's not me being calm
00:52:55At all
00:52:55That's like
00:52:56Hard to watch
00:52:57For me as well
00:52:58Can you see how suspicious
00:52:59That makes you look
00:53:00Um
00:53:01Yeah maybe
00:53:04To an untrained eye
00:53:05Yes
00:53:06Yes to a trained eye
00:53:07No
00:53:08I know there's been
00:53:09A lot made of his
00:53:11Inconsistent statements
00:53:12Well saying things
00:53:14Which are slightly
00:53:15Inconsistent
00:53:16This is the last place
00:53:17I've seen her
00:53:17Does not mean
00:53:19That you had anything
00:53:19To do with the
00:53:20Disappearance
00:53:21Or suspected death
00:53:23It just doesn't mean that
00:53:24Did she usually go
00:53:25For a run every morning
00:53:26Consistently
00:53:27But she didn't go
00:53:28For a run consistently
00:53:29So that
00:53:29Refers to her
00:53:31Training schedule
00:53:32So she would train
00:53:32Every morning
00:53:33Consistently
00:53:34Whether it was
00:53:35Running
00:53:36Walking
00:53:36Weights
00:53:37Whatever it was
00:53:38Don't you want
00:53:39To be specific
00:53:40About what she's doing
00:53:41For the sake of
00:53:41Giving the police
00:53:42As much clear information
00:53:44As you possibly can
00:53:45It's like a
00:53:46Pastel silver
00:53:47At that point of time
00:53:48I was unable to
00:53:49Because I was so frantic
00:53:51That's the sneakers
00:53:52That she's got on
00:53:53You're not specific
00:53:54Can you see that
00:53:55It makes you look suspicious
00:53:56Ah yeah I can
00:53:57I can
00:53:59Everything's taken care of
00:54:00You're not in trouble
00:54:01By saying
00:54:02You know
00:54:03Everything's taken care of
00:54:04Is that
00:54:04Everything's okay
00:54:05I didn't want to
00:54:06Keep pushing on the fact
00:54:08That there was
00:54:08An ASIC search warrant
00:54:09Prior
00:54:10So that that
00:54:11Made her feel comfortable
00:54:12Can you see how
00:54:13It looks like
00:54:14You're casually lying
00:54:15As normal
00:54:17I'm avoiding
00:54:19Telling the truth
00:54:20To make my wife
00:54:21Come home
00:54:22So
00:54:22So be it
00:54:24So police didn't find out
00:54:26Until Friday
00:54:27About midday
00:54:28Anthony
00:54:30Why did you wait
00:54:3230 hours
00:54:33What were you actually doing
00:54:35The last time
00:54:40That I spoke to Melissa
00:54:41Was the night of the raid
00:54:42At around 9 o'clock
00:54:43I've come to bed
00:54:46And I've just kind of said
00:54:47Love you
00:54:48And given her a kiss
00:54:49I've fallen asleep
00:54:51Sometime after that
00:54:53And woke up at 5.30 or 6.00 in the morning
00:55:03And she's gone
00:55:03You know
00:55:05Just like that
00:55:07About 7.40am
00:55:10I took Melissa's son to school
00:55:11I've gone out
00:55:15And looked for her
00:55:16You avoided going to the PlayStation
00:55:19Only because
00:55:21I didn't believe
00:55:22That she was missing
00:55:23At that point
00:55:24But as time goes on
00:55:26I started to get
00:55:27A little bit more worried
00:55:27A little bit more worried
00:55:28And then a little bit more worried
00:55:30Yeah mate I'm just a bit concerned
00:55:35Can we go upstairs
00:55:36And have a chat
00:55:37So why did you wait 30 hours
00:55:39To report her missing
00:55:40I didn't think that
00:55:42You're supposed to report
00:55:43Until 24 hours
00:55:44That I know
00:55:46Is not the case now
00:55:47But it was a requirement
00:55:49Of ASIC
00:55:50That she appeared
00:55:51In court
00:55:52On the 13th
00:55:53I'd said in my mind
00:55:55Right
00:55:55If she doesn't go to court
00:55:56Then I'm going to
00:55:57Absolutely report her missing
00:55:59So when she didn't show up
00:56:02To court
00:56:02That's when I called the police
00:56:04How could you expect
00:56:06That you're never going
00:56:06To see your wife again
00:56:07How could you expect that
00:56:09You couldn't
00:56:10During the course of the day
00:56:18You know my opinion
00:56:19Has changed immensely
00:56:20I've done a KD 180 on it
00:56:23I think he's a victim
00:56:24In this too
00:56:25Having heard him today
00:56:31I had a shift in sympathy
00:56:33Towards him
00:56:34Anthony
00:56:36And interestingly
00:56:37We've heard from the police
00:56:39That Anthony
00:56:40Was never a real suspect
00:56:43In either the disappearance
00:56:44Or the possible homicide
00:56:47Of his wife
00:56:48What's the packed bag for?
00:56:50That was for her files
00:56:52That she was supposed
00:56:52To take to court
00:56:53Right
00:56:53Yes
00:56:56There were officers
00:56:57At the beginning
00:56:58Who certainly believed
00:57:00That Anthony
00:57:01Had something to do
00:57:02With his wife's disappearance
00:57:04Keep all these doors locked
00:57:05Well you can't be too careful
00:57:07But as detectives
00:57:09Done further into the story
00:57:10This interest
00:57:12In Anthony vanished
00:57:13Thanks Anthony
00:57:15I can say
00:57:18From my experience
00:57:19From the inquest
00:57:20And speaking
00:57:21To the police officers
00:57:22That not one
00:57:24Of the police officers
00:57:25Believed
00:57:26That Anthony
00:57:26Was a suspect
00:57:28Suspect
00:57:29By the time
00:57:29They'd finished
00:57:30Interviewing him
00:57:31When I contacted
00:57:31The federal police
00:57:33That it made
00:57:33Suggested to call
00:57:34I called
00:57:36And so
00:57:37We were back
00:57:38To wondering
00:57:39Whether someone
00:57:40Like Melissa
00:57:41Could have killed
00:57:42To herself
00:57:42Trying to understand
00:57:52Melissa Caddick's
00:57:53Personality
00:57:54Is extremely confusing
00:57:56Logic would suggest
00:57:58That Melissa
00:57:58Did take her own life
00:58:00But it's funny
00:58:01You talk to her victims
00:58:02And they say
00:58:02You don't know Melissa
00:58:03Like we do
00:58:04The people that knew her
00:58:06They describe her
00:58:07As incredibly organised
00:58:09Efficient
00:58:10And I think because of that
00:58:12They were convinced
00:58:13That there was
00:58:14An exit plan
00:58:15People were very doubtful
00:58:17That she would have
00:58:18Self-harmed
00:58:19Could you tell me
00:58:22What are you looking at
00:58:23So I'm looking at
00:58:25An extract
00:58:25From the forensic psychiatrist
00:58:27Report that was done
00:58:28For the inquest
00:58:29And they go back
00:58:31To Melissa's early history
00:58:33There was some problem
00:58:34With her hips
00:58:35Which meant that
00:58:36She had to wear special boots
00:58:37And she had to wear nappies
00:58:38Until the age of seven
00:58:39That probably involved
00:58:42Humiliation and shame
00:58:44For Melissa
00:58:44It sounds as though
00:58:47Melissa compensated
00:58:48For the feelings
00:58:49From that earlier period
00:58:51By wanting to impress people
00:58:53I would say like
00:58:56Lots of us have features
00:58:58Of narcissism
00:58:59In what we do
00:59:00In an everyday sort of way
00:59:01But these narcissistic
00:59:03Behavours or aspects
00:59:05Of character
00:59:05With Melissa
00:59:06Seems to have developed
00:59:08Into an intense level
00:59:13Of narcissism
00:59:14Where a person
00:59:19Needs admiration
00:59:20To a greater extent
00:59:22Than is usual
00:59:23She became obsessed
00:59:24With her appearance
00:59:25And then as time progresses
00:59:27That theme seems to grow
00:59:29How far will someone like this go
00:59:32To maintain their image
00:59:33I think that's
00:59:34Probably to any length
00:59:37What would the raid have done?
00:59:41Her cover was blown
00:59:42And there was no way out
00:59:45In terms of the emotional self
00:59:48That feels like dying
00:59:50The exposure would have been
00:59:52Too much for her
00:59:53So would it be fair
00:59:55Saying that someone
00:59:56With narcissistic personality
00:59:57Could very well have taken my life?
00:59:59Yeah
01:00:00There is a barrier
01:00:02To overcome
01:00:02In terms of
01:00:03What about my kid?
01:00:05But if the pressure
01:00:06Towards suicide
01:00:07Is strong enough
01:00:08Then
01:00:08Mother's do
01:00:11You know
01:00:30She's done a terrible thing
01:00:32And you won't face justice
01:00:35I think
01:00:36What a terrible
01:00:38Pathetic person
01:00:39Are investors
01:00:43Yeah
01:00:43Can you say
01:00:44That being defrauded?
01:00:46Yes I can
01:00:47I can
01:00:48I definitely can
01:00:50A lot of the investors
01:00:51I'm really fond of
01:00:53There's a lot of
01:00:53People involved
01:00:55That I really care about
01:00:56So
01:00:57I do feel like
01:00:59They would feel
01:01:00Pretty bad
01:01:01That they've lost money
01:01:02I'm sorry for that
01:01:05Ladies and gentlemen
01:01:08Welcome to our
01:01:09Evening sale
01:01:10Of luxury design
01:01:11Lot 73
01:01:13In the matter
01:01:14Of Melissa Caddick
01:01:15And I have
01:01:16$3,000 to start it
01:01:18Yes sir
01:01:19We will sell it
01:01:25At $3,200
01:01:26$3,400 now
01:01:29Are we all through
01:01:36Selling at
01:01:37$3,600
01:01:39Sold
01:01:42For my 50th
01:01:59The last time
01:02:00That I saw
01:02:01Melissa
01:02:01She gave me a gift
01:02:03Which I still have
01:02:04That's a fairly
01:02:05Expensive bottle
01:02:06Of perfume
01:02:07And I
01:02:07I use it in the
01:02:11Bathroom
01:02:11To
01:02:12I spray my
01:02:13Tear with it
01:02:13It gives me
01:02:16A little bit
01:02:16Of closure
01:02:17I suppose
01:02:18I think
01:02:18I'm really angry
01:02:24With what she's done
01:02:25And if she was
01:02:26Standing here
01:02:27Right now
01:02:27I'd rip her
01:02:28A new one
01:02:29Because
01:02:29I don't know
01:02:30I would say to her
01:02:31What have you done
01:02:31To your family
01:02:32And your friends
01:02:33And this is where
01:02:35It's been hard for me
01:02:36The person that
01:02:37I've known
01:02:38All these years
01:02:39Is all a load
01:02:40Of bullshit
01:02:40What does the future
01:02:46Hold for you
01:02:47And this case for
01:02:47This case is virtually
01:02:49Over for me
01:02:50Unless Melissa
01:02:51Is found
01:02:51Alive somewhere
01:02:53I'll be moving
01:02:54On to other stuff
01:02:55In the end
01:03:01We are never
01:03:03Ever
01:03:03Going to know
01:03:04What actually
01:03:05Happened to
01:03:06Melissa
01:03:06But
01:03:08It's a rare
01:03:10Privilege
01:03:11To participate
01:03:12In recording
01:03:13History
01:03:14Our journalism
01:03:15It holds people
01:03:17To account
01:03:18It helps inform
01:03:19People to make
01:03:20Decisions
01:03:21About their lives
01:03:22It really is
01:03:25A vital part
01:03:26Of the daily
01:03:27Life of our city
01:03:28Anthony
01:03:31This story
01:03:32Has captivated
01:03:33The nation
01:03:34How does it sit
01:03:35With you
01:03:36I think it's
01:03:37Bullshit
01:03:37That is
01:03:38Entertaining people
01:03:39The police
01:03:40Have ruled me out
01:03:41Of any wrongdoing
01:03:42Years ago
01:03:43At the
01:03:44Six o'clock news
01:03:45Four o'clock news
01:03:46Late night news
01:03:47Melissa Caddick's
01:03:48Husband
01:03:49The husband
01:03:49Of missing fraudster
01:03:50Anthony Coletti
01:03:51Newspapers
01:03:52Newspapers
01:03:53Every form of media
01:03:54Basically
01:03:54I believe
01:03:55Insinuate
01:03:56That I've done
01:03:56Something wrong
01:03:57Why is it
01:03:58That there's so much
01:03:59About that day
01:03:59You don't remember
01:04:00Do you know anything
01:04:01About Melissa's
01:04:02Disappearance
01:04:02It's blackened
01:04:05My name forever
01:04:07I've had people
01:04:08Sitting out
01:04:08The front of my house
01:04:09I've had PIs
01:04:12Follow me
01:04:13I'm inside of the garage
01:04:14And this gentleman
01:04:15Is blocking my path
01:04:17I've been asked
01:04:19Oh you know
01:04:20Have you murdered
01:04:21Your wife
01:04:21For example
01:04:22People that don't
01:04:23Know me
01:04:24That are influenced
01:04:25By mainstream media
01:04:27Presume that I've
01:04:28Done whatever
01:04:29They've heard
01:04:30Now he's peering
01:04:31Through
01:04:32Trying to film me
01:04:33Do you think
01:04:33Anthony's
01:04:34Responsible for
01:04:35Melissa Caddick's
01:04:36Disappearance or death
01:04:37I don't
01:04:38He has me trapped
01:04:39Inside of a garage
01:04:40Just for anyone
01:04:41That's listening
01:04:41If the consensus
01:04:43From the police
01:04:44Is he's not
01:04:45Responsible
01:04:45Why wouldn't
01:04:46You make a headline
01:04:47Police
01:04:48What do you think
01:04:49Is more interesting
01:04:50Like it's one of
01:04:52Those things
01:04:52You are painting
01:04:54A picture
01:04:54And
01:04:55You need to
01:04:57You know
01:04:58Present something
01:04:59That captures
01:05:00Their
01:05:00Imagination
01:05:01Senior officer
01:05:03Thought Melissa Caddick's
01:05:05Husband
01:05:05Anthony Coletti
01:05:06Likely
01:05:07Killed her
01:05:08In quest
01:05:10His
01:05:11As far as I'm
01:05:14Concern
01:05:15He's playing dumb
01:05:15That's a strategy
01:05:17Is there anything
01:05:18That would convince you
01:05:20Anything
01:05:20That Anthony's
01:05:22Not involved
01:05:22No Anthony is involved
01:05:24In her disappearance
01:05:26He's helped
01:05:26Nothing would convince you
01:05:27No
01:05:28In other opening lines
01:05:31We've said
01:05:32Police do not believe
01:05:34That he killed her
01:05:35So there has been
01:05:36A balance
01:05:37Of how the information
01:05:39Presents itself
01:05:41Well the bottom line is
01:05:42No one fundamentally
01:05:43Thinks Anthony's guilty
01:05:44And yet the narrative
01:05:45Seems to be
01:05:46He's suspicious
01:05:47And I wonder
01:05:48How that would make him feel
01:05:49I can't imagine
01:05:53How it would make him feel
01:05:55I've lost the love
01:06:00Of my life
01:06:00And I've done
01:06:05Nothing wrong
01:06:05I can accept
01:06:07That she has
01:06:08Committed crimes
01:06:09But it doesn't
01:06:11Make me love her
01:06:12Any less
01:06:12Despite
01:06:13Despite everything
01:06:14Because I loved her
01:06:16And that
01:06:17It doesn't change that
01:06:18It's not about
01:06:20A financial crime
01:06:22To me
01:06:22It's about
01:06:25A dead wife
01:06:26Bring it back Snowy
01:06:28Good boy Peter
01:06:29Good boy
01:06:30Snowy's running
01:06:31Straight away
01:06:32That's what it is to me
01:06:34That's my story
01:06:35You just wanna go slow
01:06:51Sit still
01:06:53And come undone
01:06:54In the meantime
01:06:59You wanna have some fun
01:07:01Oh, you say
01:07:05You have to fall apart
01:07:07To really be someone
01:07:09Oh, you say
01:07:13You have to fall apart
01:07:18To really be someone
