Wendy Osefo Moves to Dismiss Fraud Case, Citing ‘Illegal’ Arrest

Her motion alleges unlawful police conduct, seeking dismissal with key evidence excluded.

Overview

  • On October 17, Wendy Osefo’s attorney filed motions arguing defects in the charging documents and asking a judge to suppress evidence over alleged unlawful search, seizure, and intercepted communications.
  • The defense also requested a separate trial from co-defendant Eddie Osefo and demanded broad discovery, including witness lists, polygraph results, informant information, and all police reports.
  • The couple were indicted in Carroll County on October 9 on insurance-fraud-related counts tied to a reported April 2024 burglary and were released after each posted $50,000 bond.
  • Prosecutors assert security cameras showed no motion the night of the alleged break-in, say some claimed items were returned or retained, and report at least 15 listed items were recovered during a search.
  • Court records cite a $25,380 payout from Travelers, including a ring later seen on Instagram, and docket reports indicate Eddie Osefo does not yet have an attorney listed.
