Found Deceased Australia - Melissa Caddick, 49, Sydney, NSW, 12 Nov 2020 #6

[they'll get you]

For more than 30 hours Anthony Koletti, the husband of missing Sydney woman Melissa Caddick, didn’t tell her family or police that his wife had vanished without taking her phone or wallet.

“The f---wit hasn’t told us anything,” Ms Caddick’s brother Adam Grimley told a family friend when she rang him just after 4pm on Friday, November 13.

“He was upset and angry that Anthony hadn’t reported her missing and that he hadn’t contacted her family,” said Mr Grimley’s friend. Mr Koletti said he’d spent Thursday driving around, visiting their favourite spots, looking for his wife, Mr Grimley said.

I also recall reading that AK went to the clifftops looking for Melissa, at around 8am on the Thursday. And it didn't say if he walked or drove there to do that. But I am unable to find the link at the moment, so take that for what it is worth.
One would think that clifftop CCTV might have seen him doing that, or not doing that.

30 hours looking for his darlin' little mrs. 30 bloody hours!
One can drive to Broken Hill in 12 hr 24 minutes which is only 1,143.2 km via A32.
24 hours return. So what in all tarnation was he doing for 30 bloody hours? Gazing out into the Pacific wondering where the little mrs went?

Who's to say there's now another little Asic shoe stuffed with something resembling a foot in a sock sailing, bobbing and tumbling along down the coast in a experiment to see where it lands.
It would be an absolute fluke if it travels past Brighton-Le-Sands. imo.

This fascinating case is (presumably) far from over, and I have already changed my mind a gazillion times (all right, I exaggerate a little). My current thinking is - it now seems clear to me that the 30 hours which AK spent driving around to "their favourite spots" was in fact spent in driving Melissa to some hideout down the coast. And I think a living Melissa, at her behest. To me, this theory answers a number of questions, ie the lack of footage of Melissa jumping off a cliff, no trace of her found under or off the cliffs, the delay in reporting her missing, the problem of Melissa apparently having no plan for when the sky fell in (she did), hubbie not too distraught, and the only trace of her found down the coast. But. What then? AK, if innocent, must say where he took her.

And you'd have to think that someone saw him on this patrol.. .. The car Melissa hired for him was a look-at-me vehicle, while there are lots of those around that area, his was, in it's own ridiculous way, quite biggish in the lookatme way. Not a car you could do a quiet recce in.

Anyways,.. that whole story has the clang of fantasy, to me. It's not a problem if no one else sees it that way. I am not saying he murdered her, but... that round and round the mulberry bushes of the Eastern Suburbs , while expecting to find her ..

I wonder now what particular thing made him ring the brother to tell him that Melissa was gone. Was just the passage of time, which can be horrific in a missing persons context... or was it something else? . We'll find out, one day, I guess.

I don't have any problem nodding along with your chorus, Kemug..

But then.. that wretched car would have been picked up on the camera's down the Princes Highway.

Therein lies the problem. If your theory is on the mark, Melissa's shoe was discovered on 21st Feb with family being notified of confirmed DNA on 25th Feb - over 2 weeks ago.

Since then, AK has allowed the speculation that Melissa cut off her own foot, or has committed suicide close to home. Both things very upsetting to Melissa's birth family.

Why not tell what he did - if he dropped Melissa off - to help the police solve this mystery? Melissa is obviously not 'on the run' any more - if she ever was in the first place.

If someone has murdered Melissa, surely he wants the police to find out what happened?
And if Melissa waded into the water, way further south, why not say what happened? So the police can investigate the correct area.
Why allow the resources to be used to scour - again - the cliffs at Dover Heights? For the police divers to negotiate those turbulent waters.

Do you really believe this woman acted alone and single-handedly, while raising a child and being a lover to a husband?
I mean, she seems like she was a powerhouse. I just can't understand how not one accountant or lawyer or financier etc didn't raise an eyebrow. I just think at least one other human being was aware of her scheme or parts of it, for whatever period of time.

And, if she DID orchestrate this entire thing and conduct it alone, then she is evil and I'm sorry but idgaf that she is gone.

I've encountered narcissists in my 30+ years that did things so absolutely disgusting that even my own mother failed to believe me when I told her about them.
These

My money's on AK being a nasty piece of work. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he played a role in her disappearance/possible murder.

Now, it may be that he WAS a victim of narcissistic abuse (which btw is something so unforgivable in its soul crushing, insidious nature that I pity none who have victimised people in this way, whatever their misfortune) before the ASIC raid etc BUT that doesn't mean he didn't snap and reveal darker sides of his nature that had, until recently, had nothing to release them onto the world.

I saw one photo, just one, of AK that told me a lot. I have been known to read faces, usually getting no validation of my accuracy until AFTER someone suffers as a result of the person who I looked at and said, "no good."

I'll try find said photo to post for everyone.

Was it after he attended court and told them she hadn't come back since the 5:30am "run", after which he was advised to report her missing, that AK rang AG?

MC may have felt a need to go somewhere she associated with her younger, innocent days, like a fun high school camp, in order to soothe her mental state, which would have been a bit of a choppy sea as opposed to a tranquil lake.
So the idea that AK took her there is absolutely plausible imo

And police saying they have no CCTV of MC leaving her Dover Heights home doesn't mean they don't have CCTV footage of a person driving away from her house that looks bald for example and in men's clothes but is actually MC after shaving her head & putting on a men's shirt etc

Either he has the intelligence of a peanut or he was up to no good.

After the raid, you'd worry about your wife even if she was "normal" afterwards. You'd think perhaps she was feeling different to what she'd acted and that her not coming home at normal hours was something to be concerned about and report or at least tell her family.
Only a bloody idiot would spend 30 precious hours (they say the first 24hrs is the most crucial in missing persons cases) driving around by himself instead of employing the resources of police or at bare minimum, family.

A horror story version of Cinderella in reverse came to my mind when I was thinking about the shoe and the foot.

AK is pulling back in every photo of him and MC, whereas MC is notably extending her head outwards.

When it comes to photos and reading people's body language in that split second caught forever in time, pulling back is being in the past, reluctant to move into the present and leaning forward, reaching outwards etc is an eagerness or excitement about the future

AK did not want the future that MC did. He wasn't in it forever. He was the same person he was before he met her for their entire relationship, it would seem. Whereas she saw her future being with him and has body language that reflects that, he never felt on the same level, he was in the relationship for a different reason and was still bachelor AK going by his body language imo.

If Melissa indeed had a secret shack somewhere down the coast, she could just as easily have had a secret ordinary looking car stashed in a garage somewhere not too far away.

Let's hope AK doesn't suicide in the coming days and weeks..

A neighbourhood friend may have offered her a car to borrow.

She may have ran to someone's house at 5:30am. Didn't she party the night before? I'd be exhausted after a raid and party, running at 5:30am would not be on my agenda.
Which ankle was purported to have been sore?

A horror story version of Cinderella in reverse came to my mind when I was thinking about the shoe and the foot.

How about Andersen's The Red Shoes?

The old lady became very ill; they said she could not live; she had to be carefully nursed and tended, and no one was nearer than Karen to do this. But there was to be a grand ball in the town, and Karen was invited. She looked at the old lady, who after all could not live; she looked at the red shoes; she thought there was no harm in doing so. She put on the red shoes, even that she might do; but then she went to the ball and began to dance! The shoes would not let her do what she liked: when she wanted to go to the right, they danced to the left: when she wanted to dance up the room, the shoes danced down the room, then down the stairs, through the streets and out of the town gate. Away she danced, and away she had to dance, right away into the dark forest. Something shone up above the trees, and she thought it was the moon, for it was a face, but it was the old soldier with the red beard, and he nodded and said, "See what pretty dancing shoes!"
. . . .
On and ever on she danced; dance she must even through the dark nights. The shoes bore her away over briars and stubble till her feet were torn and bleeding; she danced away over the heath till she came to a little lonely house. She knew the executioner lived here, and she tapped with her fingers on the window pane and said,--
"Come out! come out! I can't come in for I am dancing!"
The executioner said, "You can't know who I am? I chop the bad people's heads off, and I see that my axe is quivering."
"Don't chop my head off," said Karen, "for then I can never repent of my sins, but pray, pray chop my feet off with the red shoes!"
Then she confessed all her sins, and the executioner chopped off her feet with the red shoes, but the shoes danced right away with the little feet into the depths of the forest.
