Melissa Caddick's Death Confirmed by Coroner
TL;DR Summary
Melissa Caddick, an Australian investment adviser accused of defrauding customers of about $20 million, is definitely dead, according to a coroner's ruling. Her body was never found, but a rotting foot found on a beach 300 miles south of Sydney was DNA-matched to her. The coroner's court heard from a line of experts, but the cause and location of her death remain a mystery. The case spawned conspiracy theories, including the suggestion that Caddick may have cut off her own foot to fake her suicide before going on the run. Her husband was criticized for his "lack of candor" and conflicting statements.
