True Crime Conversations

The Life & Disappearance Of Melissa Caddick


Listen Later

It’s the 21st of February, 2021, a summer’s day on the south coast of New South Wales. 

A small group of campers are walking along Bournda Beach, an incredible expanse of pristine sand, and clear, blue water, surrounded by national park. Along the shore, washed up, they spot a single, grey, Asics shoe. It is only when they look more closely that they realise inside it holds human remains. The group, visiting for a surfing trip, are alarmed. Quickly, they contact the police.

It wasn’t long before the police were able to identify who the DNA belonged to. It is Melissa Caddick, who had disappeared three months prior from her Dover Heights home, some 438 kilometres from the south coast beach. What the discovery didn’t answer was what exactly happened to Caddick. Did she take her own life? Was she murdered by her enemies? Or, is it possible that the foot was not evidence she was dead at all. Could Melissa Caddick, a woman accused of stealing more than $30 million, still be alive?
