Overview
- Carroll County filings say Wendy and Eddie Osefo used names including “Pam Oliver” and “Eddie Hennessy” and held about 40 credit or debit cards, some tied to businesses, which prosecutors argue support a spending pattern relevant to motive.
- Prosecutors are seeking additional banking and transaction records, asserting the couple was burdened by substantial debt and that insurance fraud is a financial crime where such documentation is probative.
- Investigators obtained data from Gmail, Instagram, an Apple ID, and home-security providers Ring and ADT, as well as bank accounts and luxury retailers, according to court records.
- Authorities say several items reported stolen in April 2024 had been returned for refunds and note social media images of a ring listed as missing, while the defense denies using aliases on financial applications, calls the subpoenas a fishing expedition, and faults the investigation.
- The Osefos were indicted in October on multiple insurance-fraud and related counts, released on $50,000 bonds each, and remain in pretrial discovery with no trial date set.
