According to experts, it is very unlikely that Sydney fraudster Melissa Caddick cut her foot before she was on a remote beach.
Caddick, 49, disappeared from his home in the luxury suburb of Dover Heights in November 2020, just hours after being assaulted by investigators from the corporate control agency ASIC.

“After looking at the ocean circulation that occurred between November and February … and after looking at the vagabonds we deployed at the same time,” Caddick’s shoe wash to the south “is very much within the realm of possibility, “Roughan said in the podcast. .
Coincidentally, when Caddick disappeared, Roughan and his team had been conducting an experiment tracking how the ocean would carry biodegradable vagrants.
These three items were about the same size as a shoe and were equipped with satellite tracking devices.

They were released from Port Stephens, about 150 miles north of Sydney, and one was dragged about 250 miles south to Jervis Bay.
In British Columbia, at least 21 feet have been dragged along a specific stretch of the Canadian coast since 2007, but so far researchers have ruled out foul play.
Matthew Orde, a forensic pathologist at the University of British Columbia, said the phenomenon was due in part to innovations in the design of running shoes.
“In recent years, they have made more and more progress in their design and construction, and many of them contain air filter bubble bags on the soles, which make the shoe more floating,” he said. to the podcast.

Earlier this month, Caddick’s husband, Anthony Koletti, was evicted from his five-bedroom mansion after it was taken over by liquidators Jones Partners.
Koletti has lived in the Dover Heights house without rent since Caddick’s disappearance.
Jones Partners said it would now prepare to put the house on the market and hire a real estate agent.
