Melissa Caddick hasn t been seen since November 12. How did one woman come to rip off her family and friends to the tune of A$30 million (NZ$32.2m)?

Forgery, stealing - Melissa Caddick s crimes began long before her $23million scam and disappearance

Missing conwoman Melissa Caddick had a decades-long history of fraud and dishonesty, somehow evading consequences for her crimes every time. With charm, designer handbags and a silver tongue she was able to fool friends, family, and even her mother and rob them blind. Her first known swindle was petty embezzlement in 1998, and worked up to $23 million in vanished investments - which finally did her in. On November 11, 2020, investigators from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission raided her $6.8million home in Dover Heights after she was found to be operating a financial services business without a valid licence. It was the last night she was seen alive.

Before him stood his well-groomed office administrator, Melissa Caddick (then known by her maiden name of Grimley), who had just been confronted with the evidence of her crimes: four cheques on which she’d forged his signature. Caddick shook her head. It was 1998, and Caddick had landed a job running the Sydney office of a recently opened boutique investment house via a friend she’d worked with at the NRMA. Her boss recalls his assistant as being organised, efficient and reliable. Although there were only the two of them in the office, she dressed immaculately. “Her manicured presentation seemed suited to a job she aspired to, rather than the job she had,” says the former boss.
