An inquest is underway to determine whether an Australian fraudster actually died, or whether her washed-up foot on a Sydney beach was a ruse in an elaborate escape. Melissa Caddick was suspected to have stolen between 20 and 30 million dollars before she vanished in November 2020. She's been the centre of a scandal-fuelled search - but now a New South Wales coroner's court is debating whether she's the victim of a murder, suicide, or a faked death. Kate McClymont is a Sydney Morning Herald investigative journalist who alongside 60 Minutes' Tom Steinfort created the podcast Liar Liar - the definitive investigation into Caddick's dealings and disappearance - and it's held the top spot in our charts here in New Zealand for weeks. We are very lucky to have Kate with us this morning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

McClymont tells Jo McManus on Millsy at Midday it was Caddick's investors in Perth who brought her undone.
