Found Deceased Australia - Melissa Caddick, 49, Sydney, NSW, 12 Nov 2020 #8

[SouthAussie]

A couple of other things worth mentioning from this ^^^ article.

When AK made a police statement, more than 24 hours after Melissa disappeared, one of the officers who went to the house to get his statement said he appeared “composed, relaxed and seemingly uncaring persona … was unlike any other person I had taken a missing person’s report from previously”.
That officer, Constable Riseam, said AK's version of events “did not seem to make sense”.

Mr Downing (counsel assisting) said "Constable Riseam suspected that Mr Koletti was somehow involved in Ms Caddick’s disappearance”.

(The article has all of the help line numbers at the end of it.)

Melissa Caddick’s parents and brother along with husband Anthony Koletti are at the Coroner’s court at Lidcome as the inquest into Caddick’s presumed death commences. #caddickinquest

“It’s a painful experience,” Deputy Coroner Elizabeth Ryan told the parents and husband of Melissa Caddick, but hopefully it would bring them some answers, she said.

Anthony Koletti’s lawyer Judy Swan quick to her feet to suggest that ASIC is to blame for Melissa Caddick’s death as it caused her “significant distress”.

Wow, forensic pathologist was unable to tell how Melissa Caddick’s foot became detached from her body and that it may well be that the Coroner returns an open finding into her presumed death. #CaddickInquest


NSW police criticised for not exploring the many inconsistencies in Melissa Caddick’s husband’s account to police at the time she went missing. Also no crime scene investigation of house or cars done until 19 days after she went missing.

What is coming out of this inquest into Melissa Caddick's presumed death is wild! At least one senior police officer “was of the view that Koletti had likely killed the deceased,” the inquest has been told.

WILDER: Experts concluded that from barnacles "it was highly likely that Ms Caddick’s shoe spent no more than one week, and no less than 2 to 3 days, floating at the ocean surface before washing up on Bournda Beach."

Melissa Caddick's foot may have been regurgitated by a shark, the inquest into her presumed death has heard.

A psychiatrist believes that Melissa Caddick had a narcissistic personality disorder. "Such individuals can also be at risk of suicide without warning, particularly in the context...of an emotional blow that devastates the person’s self-esteem," inquest heard.

Inquest has heard that it is unlikely that Melissa Caddick cut off her own foot - "with or without the assistance of a non-medically trained individual in order to stage her disappearance."

Senior officer thought Melissa Caddick’s husband Anthony Koletti ‘likely killed’ her, inquest hears

Serious concerns have been raised about the adequacy of the NSW police force investigation in the days immediately after the disappearance of fraudster Melissa Caddick, an inquest has heard, including a senior officer’s belief Caddick’s husband Anthony Koletti “likely killed” her.

Louise Coleman, junior counsel assisting the coroner, said, “that even amongst the officers involved in the investigation, there were concerns as to some of the steps taken and not taken, particularly soon after Ms Caddick was first reported missing.”

However, another officer stated that there was no evidence to suggest that Koletti had any involvement in his wife’s disappearance.

Koletti has not been charged with any offence concerning Caddick’s disappearance.

Not suggesting AK had anything to do with MC disappearance but does seem poor of police not to investigate the possibility quite thoroughly.

Kate McClymont's report on Smh:
Senior officer thought Melissa Caddick’s husband Anthony Koletti ‘likely killed’ her, inquest hears

Some more suspicious behaviour from AK..

At around 7pm Koletti telephoned police in an “agitated and frantic state” to say he had found footprints at Raleigh Reserve near the cliffs and thought they were his wife’s. He told police: “you have to go there and look”.
<···>

Although he told police his wife went for a run every morning, officers later went through all the family’s movements from the CCTV footage over the previous weeks, not once had Caddick gone out early for a run.

The husband of Melissa Caddick, Anthony Koletti, was “evasive, vague and inconsistent" when he reported his wife missing 30 hours after she had vanished, the inquest into her disappearance and presumed death has heard. #CaddickInquest

Police considered the possibility of Caddick taking her own life at the nearby "suicide area" (cliffs around Dover Heights) because she was "under enormous stress" due to the ASIC investigation. #CaddickInquest

“Definitely not,” said Detective Sergeant Michael Kyneur as to whether he initially thought Melissa Caddick was murdered. #caddickinquest

DS Kyneur did not think it was a "viable proposition" that Anthony Koletti had killed his wife. "There was no evidence Caddick had suffered injuries at the hand of Mr Koletti," the detective told the inquest into Caddick's disappearance and presumed death. #caddickinquest

Melissa Caddick's husband was evasive and inconsistent after her disappearance, inquest hears

The inquest into Melissa Caddick's disappearance hears her husband Anthony Koletti was evasive, vague and inconsistent in the days after she vanished from her Dover Heights home.

www.abc.net.au

Today's witness, Detective Sergeant Michael Kyneur, was the first officer in charge of the investigation after Ms Caddick was reported missing by her husband, Anthony Koletti.

The court heard on November 13, 2020, a colleague who had spoken to Mr Koletti relayed his observations to Detective Sergeant Kyneur.

"In general, he told me that Mr Koletti was having difficulty remembering specifics of when he had last seen Melissa Caddick," the witness said.

He said there was also "confusion" about what day their home was raided, and his colleague's impression of Mr Koletti was that he was evasive, vague and inconsistent.
