Police are canvassing CCTV footage panning Sydney Airport, marinas and transport hubs in a bid to close the net on suspected runaway millionaire Melissa Caddick.
Officers investigating the disappearance of the financial adviser, accused of siphoning off millions from investors to fund her extravagant lifestyle, have ramped up the hunt for clues in the knowledge camera footage automatically deletes after 30 days.
They have focused their exhaustive efforts on exit routes out of Sydney in the belief the panicked businesswoman vanished the night corporate watchdog ASIC and Australian Federal Police raided her Dover Heights home on November 11.
Detectives believe the mother of one, 49, is “very much” alive and likely living in Queensland.
The Daily Telegraph understands footage from cameras panning Point Piper and Pulpit Point marinas, and Watson’s Bay, Hermit Bay and Parsley Bay wharves, train stations Edgecliff, Bondi Junction, and bus stops and streets surrounding Wallangra Road where she lived has been collected and examined.
Officers have also retrieved footage from cameras along the main artery of Military Rd.
“We’ve taken all the footage from houses in her street and we’ve now extended our search to canvassing cameras in the surrounding streets from the main roads, the airport and marinas, we need clues to help locate her,” a source said.
Mr Koletti was the last to see her on the night of November 11 when, shaken, she voiced to him her concerns ASIC officers were investigating a tip she was operating her Maliver Pty Ltd firm without a licence.
The previous day ASIC froze all her bank accounts and banned her from leaving the country. The regulator began investigating Ms Caddick in early September after another financial adviser reported that she had been using her financial services licence without permission and running an elaborate Ponzi scheme.
