What are Wendy Osefo and Eddie Osefo accused of doing?
Authorities allege that the Osefos falsely reported to police and insurers that $450,000 worth of property was stolen from their home sometime between April 2 and April 7, 2024, while they were on vacation in Jamaica.
Carroll County Sheriff James DeWees said during an Oct. 10 press conference that detectives eventually concluded that Wendy and Eddie “fabricated” the burglary and filed a false report to defraud their insurance company.
Investigators were “a little suspicious” when they first responded to the couple’s home, DeWees said, noting that deputies found no signs of forced entry or physical evidence of an intruder. They still investigated the case as a burglary, the sheriff continued, but, weeks after the alleged incident, detectives saw photos Wendy had posted on social media in which she was “wearing jewelry that matched items she had reported stolen, specifically a diamond anniversary band.”
