NSW detectives are treating the mysterious disappearance of a businesswoman from her cliff-top mansion in Sydney’s eastern suburbs as suspicious.
Melissa Caddick left her Dover Heights home early last Friday morning and is believed to have gone for a run, but didn’t take her wallet, keys, or mobile phone.

Canada JUSTIN EVANS: Missing from Kilworthy, Ontario, Canada - 12 December 2020 - Age 22 *Found Deceased*
The family of a young man who has been missing for more than a month is pleading for information about his suspicious disappearance.
Justin Evans, 22, has been missing from his Kilworthy home, just south of Gravenhurst, since Dec. 12. His roommate at Muskoka Falls Camp and Trailer Park reported him missing two days later, said Evans’s stepfather, James Bolton.
It’s out of character for Evans to take off for long periods of time without contacting family, he said.
“He’d always let people know what he was doing,” he said. “We never expected anything was wrong until we got a call from his roommate’s mom, asking if we’d seen him.”
Family members showed up at Evans’s home to find it had been cordoned off with police tape.
