SYDNEY'S GONE GIRL

A DETECTIVE’S EXCLUSIVE TAKE ON THE CURIOUS CASE OF MISSING MILLIONAIRE, MELISSA CADDICK

Millionaire mum Melissa Caddick was the envy of all her friends and family.

The gifted investor wore designer clothes, drove a fancy car and always seemed to be flying her husband, Anthony Koletti, and teenage son across the world on luxury holidays.

For a select few, she offered her financial expertise. She promised to turn their retirement nest eggs into millions – out of the goodness of her heart.

But all that changed on November 12, 2020, when she left her cliffside mansion in Sydney’s eastern suburbs at 5.30am for what her husband and son believed was a daily run.

Instead, she disappeared without a trace, leaving behind her a trail of destruction.

Now, police officers face a needle-in-a-haystack investigation to track her down. Former NSW detective and true crime author Duncan McNab believes good fortune will play a vital role in tracking her down.

“It’s a massive investigation to try and find her,” Duncan tells New Idea exclusively. “Luck is a substantial thing. It’s very important.”
