She is the first person caught, we don't know if they have had pulled of this scheme successfully before.

Imagine going home from your job at the bank and saying you saw a dead body at work today.

What was the plan here? Get one final thing from the man hours after he died?

The recency of the death makes me wonder if the guy was actually planning to sign the loan for her but died just before it was gonna happen.

At my work sometimes I have to take photographs for IDs for deputy Sheriff's. It's basically an honorary thing here in MA vs an actual law enforcement thing.

One day, when I go to take the ID, there's this really familiar looking guy waiting and I can't place him. I'm wondering if he used to work for us. I'm wondering if he had volunteered to help out with hurricane Katrina victims, because I spent a whole day photographing people for IDs for that.

He points at himself and goes 'Weekend at Bernies'.

I shall never forget his face again.

That's almost as good as the fact that one of the two kids who got in trouble for trolling everyone with a cardboard shark fin in Jaws is now the sheriff of Oak Bluffs.

Kinda feel bad about the woman to be honest.

Not only it has come to light that she suffers from multiple psychological issues, the uber driver that took them to the bank has testified that the old man was alive when he got into the car.

A second man that helped the old man to get into the car also testified that he was alive, but he was a friend of the family.

It should be fairly easy for the police to find out if the uber driver was known to the family or not.

Necropsy was unconclusive and couldn't say the time of death.

Seems like there is a possibility that she could be telling the truth.

Amateur! You're supposed to use long sleeves, preferably a coat jacket and extra large gloves. In one glove you fashion a rigid exoskeleton attached to the hand with duct tape in the shape of a signing hand. Make sure there's enough pressure between the fingers to insert a pen. Then, cut a small elbow in the sleeve with a stick that goes through and attaches to your hand exoskeleton. Then secretly puppeteer the hand from behind the corpse to sign the papers. It will be a little sloppy, but they don't care.

My lord, fraudsters these days... so lazy

I think even if the uber driver didn't know the family, do you want to be the uber driver who admitted to putting a corpse in their car? I'm sure there are rules about that kind of thing.

Even if you recognized it after the fact, I can see why someone who would like to keep ubering would just say "yeah, he was totes alive and super chill we talked about the old days and stuff".

It's what she claims.

This would have been very suspicious with the weather in Rio de Janeiro lol

I read the evidence points out he died laying down, not sitting.


I held the hand of my grandmother when she died, it was just a few hours later and still you can feel its unnaturally cold, it was very eerie, I am no forensic expert but her story is really dubious to say the least. You just know a dead body is a dead body, it's very difficult to mistake it.
