The disappearance of Melissa Caddick, a seemingly successful businesswoman who built a Ponzi scheme that ripped off investors to the tune of 20 million dollars, is a missing persons case that has truly captivated the country.

But Caddick’s investors weren’t wealthy business people, it was her friends and her own family whose money she embezzled to fund her lavish lifestyle of designer dresses, expensive jewelery and luxury cars.

Australians have been captivated by the story from the bizarre press conference about her disappearance through to her foot washing up on a beach on the south coast of New South Wales.

Next week, we launch a new podcast that takes the investigation into Melissa Caddick’s dissapearance to the next level.

Hosted by 60 Minutes’ Tom Steinfort and The Sydney Morning Herald’s Kate McClymont, 'Liar, Liar: Melissa Caddick and the missing millions' is the definitive investigation into the disappearance of the eastern suburbs' most notorious scam artist.

This week, McClymont joins Please Explain to talk about the podcast and more on the investigation.
