Melissa Caddick is an Australian woman who was posing as a financial adviser. Melissa and her first husband Tony Caddick had a son together. Their son was born in 2006.
The name of her son has not been made public. At the time of Melissa Caddick’s disappearance in 2020, her son was just 14 years.
Melissa’s son is now being raised by her second husband Anthony Koletti, despite his biological father living in Sydney. Koletti said: “It’s an honour to raise Melissa’s son.”
Melissa Caddick went missing in November 2020 while under investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) for operating a financial services business without an Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence.
Caddick vanished the day after ASIC agents and Australian Federal Police officers raided her home in Dover Heights, Sydney, New South Wales, on suspicion of stealing A$30 million from investors, including her friends and family.
After months of speculation about her whereabouts, DNA testing confirmed that the partial human remains discovered on a beach on New South Wales South Coast in February 2021 were Caddick’s. After a coronial inquest in May 2023, the deputy state coroner declared Caddick deceased but was unable to determine how she died.
