Melissa Louise Caddick (née Grimley; born 21 April 1971[2] – disappeared 12 November 2020, declared deceased 2023) was an Australian woman who disappeared in November 2020 amid an investigation by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) for carrying on a financial services business without holding an Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence.[3] She vanished the day after ASIC agents and Australian Federal Police officers raided her home at Dover Heights, Sydney, on the suspicion that she had misappropriated approximately A$30 million from investors, including her friends and family, in an elaborate Ponzi scheme.
After months of speculation as to her whereabouts, partial human remains discovered on a New South Wales beach in February 2021 were confirmed to be Caddick's through DNA testing.[4][5] In May 2023, the deputy state coroner declared Caddick deceased after a coronial inquest but was unable to determine how she died.[1]
