A judge is expected to sentence Rasmuson to life in prison without parole during another hearing on April 27.

Her disappearance has been shrouded in mystery but NSW Police are growing more certain the alleged conwoman is still alive and on the run.
In the past week former colleagues claimed to police she went on a shredding spree after learning she was under investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, reports say.

Investors, most of whom knew and trusted Ms Caddick, were suffering “emotional and financial devastation” with many of them losing their life savings, said Mr Gleeson.
