Conwoman still ripping off people from her grave | 60 Minutes Australia

It’s now official. A coroner has ruled that missing Sydney con woman Melissa Caddick is dead, although precisely how, where and when she died remains a mystery. What also remains is the misery of those who were duped out of millions of dollars of their savings by Caddick’s simple scam. She claimed to be a financial whizz, promising huge returns to investors. Instead, she spent their money on herself, purchasing designer dresses, custom-made jewellery and lavish overseas holidays.

Tom Steinfort has been reporting on the Caddick case for more than two years and this Sunday on 60 MINUTES reveals new vision he has obtained showing Melissa, her husband Anthony Koletti and her brother Adam Grimley on a night out before her disappearance. Steinfort’s latest investigation has also uncovered information which could provide a long-awaited glimmer of hope for Caddick’s many victims.

For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.

I am so loving 60 Minutes Australia having comments open on some videos now.

Well hearing that her parents think they deserve 95% of their money back but not anyone else gives us a good idea about why Melissa was so selfish and didn't give a stuff about anyone else!

[longjidalu]

Her brother and her husband know more than they are telling. Her parents definitely raised a child in their own image.

[banafshemousavi]

My family was a victim of a con like her. They are bad people who literally stole other people’s money.

[nicksaetern]

She’s probably still alive. A foot found on the beach? That’s not enough to say she’s dead. She’s a CON ARTIST.

[TR-ffpl]

No wonder her parents made such a evil woman. They are evil themselves.

[triggabun]

They always look so normal and even motherly.

I remember when I was in Uni we had a law class assignment that required us to go down to the courts.

I sat in on one case of embezzlement by a company controller.

She looked so nice and at that moment it solidified that saying " don't judge a book by it's cover"

I also don't respect any one just because they are wealthy. You have to earn my respect. Even thieves can be wealthy through thievery.

[shoutatthesky]

She's not dead. She's out there somewhere minus a foot.

[Iworkwithnitwits]

I do not understand why anyone would put a million dollars down on a penthouse to have someone else's name on the property.

[alexandercharehjoo]

It all boils down to greed. If it's too good to be true then you are being scammed 😮

[jessicaselenecenteno]

Prayers for all of the victims and families affected. 🙏🏼

[drofnats]

I wouldn't be surprised if she was still Alive, living a nice life somewhere with an Artificial Foot and maybe a Brand New Face. What makes me say that, she's a Con Woman and only One foot was ever found. 🤔

[TakenTook]

The parents should also get only 40-45% back of the money they paid, just like the rest of the investors. It's very sad for them because it was their own daughter who ripped them off, but they may have benefited from her scam in other ways while it was still going on.

[Ilene-pzfp]

The parents certainly have the “entitled” disposition.

[africabyliesel]

The love of money and material things makes people do crazy things 😢

[innocentnemesis]

I have a hard time accepting that she’s truly dead.

[whattheysayk]

If she’s that smart to take all these people money she definitely got more money in other places

[Wearenotfriendsxo]

i feel so sad for all the victims of this. I really hope something great comes out of this and they can get most of their money back 😢

[twiggyeison]

The partner needs investigating properly, he's definitely more involved in all these crimes for sure .

[bevanbuckwheatshea]

I got involved with a con artist but was darn lucky to recognize their behavior and get away from them ASAP. Beware people. A lot of con artists out in the community looking for targets.
