Caitlin Lyndon: Aussie influencer known as ‘Fitmum’ still searching for answers after home firebombed in 2025
Aussie influencer Caitlin Lyndon remains hopeful Victorian Police catch the people who ‘blew up’ her Melbourne home.
Australian fitness influencer Caitlin Lyndon is hopeful police will catch those responsible for firebombing her house, with the investigation into the suspicious blaze still ongoing one year later.
The mother of a young son, known online as Fitmum and who has more than 89,000 Instagram followers, says she is still holding out hope that Victorian Police catch the people who “blew up” her Melbourne home in July 2025.
Lyndon was holidaying with friends in Bali on July 13 when emergency services were called to her home in Sandhurst about 2am where they found the property on fire.

A Victorian Police spokeswoman said the investigation “remains ongoing”.
“I’m still waiting for answers,” Lyndon told The Daily Telegraph.
“I feel like not too much has been done at all.
“I still have hope that one day the people who booted my door in and blew my house up will get their karma, but I’m still waiting.
“Every other firebombing that happened in 2025 seems to have resulted in the culprits being found, while mine is still an open investigation.
“It is frustrating but I’ll let the police do what they are meant to do.”
Police also located a car on fire in a nearby area, with investigators “working to determine if the fires are linked”.
Lyndon, who describes herself as “unfiltered and bogan”, said one of the hardest parts about losing her home, which she had only moved into two months before, was also losing special belongings and memories.
“I don’t care about the dollar value. I care about the memories we lost,” she told the outlet.
“We lost all of our photo albums, passports, birth certificates, change of name documents, everything sentimental.
“Clothes are clothes and bags are bags. They can all be replaced. I lost the things I actually cared about.”
After returning home from Bali, Lyndon spent weeks living in an Airbnb before moving into a new home with her son.
She has since rebuilt her life and said her “business is going well and my son is happy”.
