Police are investigating the "strong possibility" Melissa Caddick was alive for weeks or even longer after she was reported missing from her Eastern Suburbs mansion.
Senior officers said despite modelling showing a body could float from Sydney to where her sneaker and remains were found on the NSW south coast, there remain serious doubts they could have drifted that far.
They believe the sneaker with skeletal remains inside appears to be in too good a condition to have been in the water for three months.
Melissa Caddick went missing from her Dover Heights home on November 13. Picture: Andy Baker.
