Overview
- A Carroll County grand jury indicted Wendy Osefo on 16 counts and Eddie Osefo on 18, including insurance fraud, conspiracy, and making a false statement to police.
- The couple was booked in Westminster, Maryland, on Oct. 9 and released after each posted a $50,000 bond, with future court dates not yet listed.
- Authorities say the case stems from an April 7, 2024 report of a home break‑in, after which the couple claimed luxury items were missing and later sought up to $450,000 in insurance losses.
- Investigators state that more than $20,000 in allegedly stolen goods had been returned for refunds before the report and that a ring listed as missing appeared on Wendy Osefo in a later social‑media post.
- Court filings describe scene and security inconsistencies and note a search warrant at the home; prosecutors also reference significant debt and multiple insurance claims tied to the alleged scheme.
