Overview
- A Carroll County grand jury indicted Wendy and Eddie Osefo on October 9 on insurance fraud–related charges, and they were booked in Westminster before release on $50,000 bond each.
- Reports state Wendy faces more than a dozen counts, while Eddie faces 18, including felony false or misleading information related to insurance claims.
- Investigators say over $20,000 in purportedly stolen goods were returned to retailers, a homeowner was pictured wearing jewelry reported stolen, and home-security footage showed no motion during the trip.
- Coverage citing records says the couple signed claims with two insurers totaling about $450,000 in property loss, and detectives report recovering multiple items listed on the inventory.
- Wesleyan confirmed Wendy resigned and installed a classroom replacement, while reality-TV commentary amplified a neighbor’s message that residents suspected fraud; a representative for the Osefos says they will fight the charges.
