Before she became one of the most intriguing and notorious missing persons in Australian history, Melissa Caddick was just one of dozens of people who go missing each day.
A 10-day inquest into the fraudster's death continued in Sydney on Monday, examining the circumstances leading to the 49-year-old's disappearance in November 2020 and her mindset at the time.
NSW Police Detective Chief Inspector Glen Browne was manager of the NSW missing persons registry when Caddick vanished, and is now co-ordinating investigations for the homicide squad.
