Ms Caddick went missing just hours after her dover heights mansion was raided by the AFP and ASIC in November 2020.
The raid was conducted over a Ponzi scheme which she used to fleece investors of $20m to $30m.

Perth investor says he lost millions in alleged fraudster's ‘Ponzi scheme'
A former client says he lost millions in his dealings with an alleged Perth fraudster who often bragged about his connections with high-level banks across Europe and painted his lucrative investment scheme as 'exclusive and for those in-the-know'. However, private investor Chris Marco has admitted he was using their money to pay returns to other clients in what one witness told his West Australian Supreme Court trial on Tuesday 'reeked of a Ponzi scheme'. Marco is on trial, facing 44 charges after allegedly defrauding investors of about $36.4 million. His former executive assistant, Linda Marissen, has been charged with 30 offences for her alleged role in the crimes. Both have pleaded not guilty to all charges. Giving evidence on Tuesday, Perth-based accountant Charles Napoli said he decided to invest when he became aware of Marco through one of his clients. He invested $1 million with Marco, who promised to invest his money in lucrative overseas investment structures called 'private placements'. Private placements are when a company raises money by selling shares, bonds, or securities to a select group of private investors, rather than through the public stock exchange. Napoli said he was a risk-averse investor, but he was assured by Marco's promise his principle investment would be kept in a blocked bank account that had a multimillion-dollar insurance policy attached. He said it gave him confidence that he could invest with the Nedlands-based businessman, as well as his 'experience' in the financial sector. Napoli said Marco regularly spoke about the 'four or five years' he spent in Europe learning about private placements and investing, and how he had 'all the right connections'.

Benjamin Stephen McCormack: Former A Current Affair journalist charged with 60+ child abuse material offences
Former A Current Affair journalist Ben McCormack is back in court after being charged with more than 60 child abuse material offences. Mr McCormack, a former high-profile TV journalist with the Nine Network, had his matter mentioned in the Brisbane Arrests Court on Monday. He is charged with 65 counts of using a carriage service to 'transmit, make available, publish, distribute, advertise or promote' child abuse material, three counts of failing to comply with his reporting obligations and a single count of giving false or misleading information. According to court documents, the carriage service charges relate to allegations Mr McCormack transmitted audio files considered to be child abuse material on diverse dates over April to November last year. The three reporting charges concern allegations he failed to notify child protection authorities about details concerning a social media site, 'digital devices' and a carriage service. His last charge alleges he gave false or misleading information about a 'carriage service start date' to authorities. Mr McCormack's matter was adjourned to September 5 on request by his lawyer. He remains in custody on remand. Blake Antrobus Court reporter Blake Antrobus covers Queensland courts and crime for NCA NewsWire.
