Wendy and Eddie Osefo BLAST Prosecutors For ‘Misleading the Public’ — And Claim Police NEVER Investigated Their Burglary Properly!
Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, are fighting back against prosecutors as their legal case grows more serious.
On November 20, the couple released a joint statement through their attorneys, calling out what they say are “false narratives” and accusing the state of improper conduct. “Police failed to properly investigate the initial burglary despite clear indications of a break-in, displaying clear bias against the Osefo family,” their legal team wrote, adding that investigators went silent for “over 18 months despite complete cooperation.” They insisted the couple “never used an alias on any financial application,” claiming the names referenced in court filings were used only for “delivery of packages” to protect their privacy. The statement concluded, “Due process is paramount… misleading the public with a false narrative has only compounded the harm.”
Prosecutors painted a very different picture in their own filings. They allege Wendy and Eddie controlled “approximately 40 credit and/or debit cards,” some connected to business accounts, and say the pair used the aliases “Pam Oliver” and “Eddie Hennessy” specifically “to mask their identity.”
Investigators also claim Wendy falsely denied using PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App to purchase jewelry — a detail they say aligns with what they describe as “a pattern of excessive spending.” According to prosecutors, the couple’s overall debt is central to their theory: “Insurance fraud is a financial crime, and the amount of debt owed by the Osefos is highly relevant to their motive,” they wrote.
Eddie’s attorney, Joseph Murtha, pushed back hard on the state’s request for additional financial records, calling the subpoenas “overly broad” and questioning why prosecutors are “still looking for something they haven’t figured out after 18 months of investigating.”
Joseph also claimed police never contacted the couple “from the time of the break-in until they were charged criminally.” A judge is expected to address the dispute over subpoenas at a December 2 hearing.
Meanwhile, investigators have already obtained a significant amount of digital and financial information. Google was served with a search-and-seizure warrant for several Gmail accounts tied to the couple — including one not linked to either of their names. Meta was ordered to release data from Wendy’s Instagram accounts, @thedrwendyshow and @wendyosefo, after authorities noticed she posted a photo wearing a diamond anniversary band she had listed as stolen. Additional warrants targeted Wendy’s Apple ID, a TextNow phone number, and home-security records from Ring and ADT.
Prosecutors also pulled financial data from Ally Bank, American Express, Capital One, and luxury retailers such as Van Cleef, Saks, Louis Vuitton, and Ascot Diamonds.
The investigation stems from a burglary Wendy and Eddie reported at their Finksburg, Maryland, home on April 7, 2024. The couple claimed they returned from a family trip to Jamaica to find their bedroom ransacked and nearly $450,000 in jewelry and designer handbags missing. But detectives flagged several inconsistencies early on. According to court documents, the home’s ADT system detected no motion inside during their trip, and the Ring cameras — which the couple monitored remotely — captured no suspicious activity.
Investigators also questioned the claimed point of entry: a bathroom window above a toilet. While the Osefos said the suspect entered there, deputies noted the toilet had no debris — even though officers themselves tracked roof grit inside after stepping in the same area.
