Overview
- New court filings allege Wendy and Eddie Osefo controlled approximately 40 credit or debit cards, some under company names, and used the names “Pam Oliver” and “Eddie Hennessy” to conceal identity.
- Prosecutors say expanded banking records will show purchases, returns and significant debt to support a theory of excessive spending as motive for alleged insurance fraud.
- Investigators contend several items reported stolen were returned for refunds before the April 2024 burglary report, and Wendy was later seen on Instagram wearing a ring previously listed as missing.
- The state also alleges Wendy falsely denied using PayPal, Venmo and Cash App for jewelry purchases, citing warrants that pulled data from Google, Instagram, Apple ID, TextNow, Ring, ADT, banks and luxury retailers.
- Defense attorneys call the subpoenas a fishing expedition, deny any alias use on financial applications, criticize the burglary investigation as inadequate, and note both clients remain free on $50,000 bond after October indictments.
