The Melissa Caddick disappearance and financial fraud story captivated Australian media and public attention for some time after it became known in 2020. Typically, this television production erred on the side of conspiracy with neatly edited grabs to stir the viewer's emotions and psychological disposition.
The documentary, later televised as two-parts on streaming channels, favors the sensational at the expense of substantive evidence to support the underlying narrative.
The documentary is also quick to point a sticky finger at a key protagonist (Ms Caddick's husband) who admittedly comes across as less than honest in his interviews with the police, and the scenes of him with his luxury car, a 2016 Audi R8 V10, are deliberately signaled (and perhaps reasonably) in media overdrive.
