He doesn't appear to be wearing protective boots like most tradesmen wear. He seems to be wearing low cut sneakers/running shoes which look like they are ASICS or Slazenger (similar design at times)

His socks pulled up suggest he may be covering a tattoo. If his van and equipment looked cheap and run down I could assume he can't afford trade boots and so is wearing his running shoes, but that isn't the case.
Plus, why would a broke/struggling tradie be attending Dover Heights jobs?

Maybe he feels more comfortable in sneakers. Legitimate reason to not wear steelcaps etc

Maybe he was disconnecting/connecting something?

From an article published in February 2021, some details I haven't seen in other reports:

- Melissa's shoe and remains were found by "a group of young people on a surfing trip";
- a camper, John, saw "a woman and three young men" direct police to the shoe, and "he then followed police to the beach where he saw people gathered around 300 metres from the end of the bush walking track. 'They didn't seem shaken at all,' he said";
- another camper said the people in the group "were surfing at the beach, and after showing police the location of the foot, the woman with them resumed sunbathing";
- a local resident, Melinda, said she had walked the beach on the day the shoe was found but hadn't noticed anything suspicious: "I've seen a few dead dolphins here but nothing like that";
- a camper, Charlie, said he had walked along the beach (day unspecified) but hadn't seen anything that "looked like a body";
- the beach was the setting for the 1978 "cult classic horror film" Long Weekend.

Just noticed that ASIC have lodged 10 Affidavits since 1 April....the Hearing in June will be interesting!

 

[Kemug]

I am thinking that this may be the end of the story, barring the financial windup. Not very satisfactory, but this is real life, after all.

There really was never going to be an ending that had even the smallest amount of justice, or happiness on the horizon, K.

It would not surprise me if the Receivers fees, all up, on the final day of reckoning added up to exactly the amount that could be found.. ..

( Offside story. Decades ago, American union workers contributed to a funeral fund , to save their families from financial horror upon their death, but as things turned out, funeral parlours, and funeral directors managed to make embalming and plastic surgery and particular shoes and all sorts of odds and ends performed on the corpse to bring the total of the funeral to the exact amount the union worker had saved in his work place. .. )

Melissa Caddick’s $8m windfall after tip-off ignored by ASIC (smh.com.au)


A sombre story of how the authorities formed and paid to regulate this stuff took their own sweet time to investigate Melissa, and let the whole ridiculous scam slide on through for another round of lifting big sums of money of folks who thought they were dealing with the genuine thing.

Interestingly, Melissa was putting feelers out for loans right left and centre , obviously from the kind of places one wouldn't entertain in one's woodshed, lenders of the last resort, lenders as dodgy as Melissa, if the truth be told. There is a sort of karmic aura in those efforts.

It's not as if ASIC wasn't given a solid heads up about Melissa. Whether there is any penalty to be paid for the ASIC sloth in reacting to the plain as day negative reports remains to be seen. I suspect ASIC will get a tap on the wrist, nothing more.

Yes, well the ASIC Chairman was found to have committed over $120,000 worth of tax fraud and merely "stood down" voluntarily while enquiries were made, this was Oct 2020, just weeks before the raid on MC.

I posted about this months ago because I was shocked and had researched and found eyebrow raising connections but was warned by mods not to post about it.

Hey everyone, I have no idea where things are at with this case as I've been working on my new business and only checked in once a week or so ago, so forgive me if the following is irrelevant.

I think it was Esther that commented on the idea of a car sitting abandoned in a driveway somewhere, months back.
Well, I've known about this car for a while and the timing of its appearance at a local clubs carpark matches up. The club is situated within 100m of the Sydney exit and Wollongong exit. It is the Hellenic club, Figtree.

Here are some pics, I took them at night so the quality is poor but I'm sure you're familiar with image editing so just brighten them if you can't discern the details. I'm slightly anxious to post this information in case I'm on to something!

Reasons why my identity is safe would be appreciated! Justice and Truth are strongly persuasive motivations that compel me to act boldly and it's not easy to change that.

I wondered about a dog walker, but dogs are great social instigators...I am sure they were props for 'event's.. '.. like running into elderly people with time and money etc...

It is difficult for me to believe that she didn't check out her location, the exact location of where she was intending to end her life. She was meticulous and highly detailed in her scope of scam, and fraud, leaving hardly anything to chance, .sure, a few errors, but they mostly passed muster, for a very long time.

There surely would be camera footage of the runs she went on previously. Where she went, where she stopped and checked out stuff. I just can't believe she would hurl herself off an unknown and uninvestigated piece of cliff, not knowing if it was shelved, or the depth, or the rocks. So disfiguring, and not in the strata of how women suicide, according to stats..

In my experience lots of women suicide with water and throwing themselves in without thinking what if ? We have the famous white cliffs of Dover, a very popular spot to jump from. But I understand what you are saying in terms of how meticulous Melissa was .
Having said that, real suicidal ideation is when the mind is in such turmoil that the thought process and reasoning ability is greatly diminished in comparison to normal. In Melissas case, it was an escape from justice plan. Was the lifestyle really worth it Melissa? Was the lifestyle of such importance and the money of such importance that you were willing to leave your Son without his mother ? And to upset and devastate your family and friends ? Was the money so worth it to you for you to take the life savings of your family and friends without any thought as to how they will manage their futures and old age without their invested pension fund which you spent ? Was it really worth it to sever lifetime friendships by taking their money for them never to see it again? You obviously thought the answers to all of these questions were yes, it was worth it otherwise you would never have done it or you would have tried to rectify what you could by owning up to it and cashing everything you own so that you could give as much back as possible, even if it fell woefully short of their original investment. At least if you had of done this, and faced up to your deceit and faced justice, it would have helped these investors come to terms with it. But clearly you didn’t care enough, especially having regard to your son. Very selfish mindset that you carried around with you!

I doubt she felt any shame or guilt.

If she did kill herself as it looks like she did, I think it was because the thought of spending however long in prison and losing forever the lifestyle that she scammed other people into paying for was something she just couldn't accept.
I think she thought she deserved that lifestyle.
She became accustomed to that life and I think anything less would be unacceptable to her.
And there was no way she could ever pull that scam again. Not after all that publicity and her face plastered everywhere.

Refresh my memory: why would a car sitting somewhere, seemingly abandoned, be important to this case?

Sadly I think you’re right

May I respectfully ask the relevance of this?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I had a look back and there were some posts about an abandoned car which I had missed.

I have to say I also can't see how this relates to Melissa Caddicks case, unless I'm missing something.

May I respectfully ask the relevance of this?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I'd like to know too.

[OwlHeart]

I'd like to know too.

We were trying to figure out how she left the house.

It probably is irrelevant so like I mentioned previously, forgive me.

I do have other reasons for my interest in the vehicle although I'm not posting them here, but I'm open to PM.

Have we ascertained how MC left her house, where she went, if she was alone, if she suicided, if she foolishly asked the wrong person for help etc?

If the answer to any of the above is no, then the vehicle is relevant.
