[3] She vanished the day after ASIC agents and Australian Federal Police officers raided her home at Dover Heights, Sydney, on the suspicion that she had misappropriated approximately A$30 million from investors, including her friends and family, in an elaborate Ponzi scheme.
After months of speculation as to her whereabouts, partial human remains discovered on a New South Wales beach in February 2021 were confirmed to be Caddick's through DNA testing.
However, Caddick fell out with Wise when the company refused to allow her to recommend property and shares to her clients due to regulatory compliance rules.
It has been alleged that when questioned about how she could financially support her lavish lifestyle, she concocted differing stories about a windfall payment she had received from Wise, either in the form of an A$86 million severance package or a similarly large payout from a sexual harassment claim.
In reality, the only money she received in the separation from Wise was a return of her original A$750,000 investment; she signed a five-year non-compete agreement.
Encouraged by his wife, Tony, who had studied political science in England, completed his law degree and was admitted as a solicitor in April 2006.
[2] After being confronted with her deception, while Tony went to stay with his family, Caddick cleaned out their home in Essex, emptied their joint bank accounts, and left.
Caddick had allegedly spent investors' finances on two houses in Sydney's eastern suburbs as well as luxury cars, designer clothing, artwork and jewellery.
"[7] Caddick vanished on 12 November 2020, the morning after ASIC agents and the Australian Federal Police raided her home in Dover Heights, Sydney.
[9] The foot's location matched the tidal and drift pattern modelling undertaken by the marine police, raising the possibility that if a body had entered the water near Dover Heights around the time of Caddick's disappearance it would likely reach the shore somewhere near the south-coast town of Bermagui, which is just 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Tathra.
[13] In February 2023 an inquest was told that the police concluded she had probably died after jumping from the cliffs at Rodney Reserve, around 500 metres (1,600 ft) from her home.
[19] Caddick's parents made a claim on the basis of handing their daughter $1.03 million on the understanding they would own part of the Edgecliff apartment and have life tenancy.
