Melissa Caddick: “Something is aFOOT” | S6 E1

Dirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime

On February 21, 2021, a grizzly discovery was made on Bournda Beach on the southern coast of New South Wales, Australia. A designer athletic shoe washed up on the beach. Inside of it, was a decomposing foot. After taking DNA samples from family members of missing persons in the area, the shoe and samples matched with a woman named Melissa Caddick, a 49-year-year old who’d been missing for three months following the raid of her home by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Initially, Caddick was being investigated for her part as the ringleader of an insider trading investigation, but authorities soon discovered her white collar schemes went much deeper. It appeared that Melissa had died by suicide, perhaps distraught over facing years in prison. Then, questions began to arise and suspicion fell on Melissa’s husband, Anthony Koletti. Why’d he wait almost two days to report his wife missing?
