Overview
- A Carroll County grand jury indicted Wendy Osefo on 16 counts, including seven felonies, and Eddie Osefo on 18 counts, including nine felonies, tied to alleged false statements and insurance fraud.
- The couple were taken into custody on Oct. 9 in Westminster, Maryland, then released on Oct. 10 after posting $50,000 bond each as deputies also executed a search warrant at their home.
- Authorities say the case stems from an April 7, 2024 burglary report and subsequent claims to multiple insurers for luxury goods and jewelry valued up to $450,000, including an anniversary band.
- Detectives cite roughly $20,000 in items allegedly returned for full refunds before the reported break‑in, social‑media images of Wendy wearing a ring listed as stolen, and emails discussing reaching a $423,000 policy maximum.
- Investigators say at least 15 items consistent with those reported stolen were recovered during the search, while the Osefos issued a statement requesting privacy as they prepare their legal defense and Bravo delayed a related episode featuring the couple.
