Sources say officers found many of the so-called stolen items still inside their house. There were also no signs of forced entry, and their home security system never showed any record of a break-in.
To make matters worse, detectives reportedly discovered that some of the items Wendy listed in the insurance claim had already been returned to stores Some of the items were even seen later on Wendy’s social media, posted after the supposed break-in.
