The Walking Dead: Couple Indicted for Faking Husband's Death
What would you do for two million dollars? A lot of people would do just about anything to strike it rich these days, but one Minnesota couple took it to the extreme.
Irina and Igor Vorotinov were indicted Thursday on suspicion of scheming to cheat an insurance company out of $2 million by allegedly faking his death in the family's homeland of Moldova. Their son, Alkon Vorotinov, was previously indicted for his role in the cover-up, and intends to plead guilty next month.
According to the case against the Vorotinovs, Igor bought a life insurance policy in April 2010. Then in October 2011, police in Moldova were notified about a dead body found along the road. A passport, hotel cards and phone numbers identified the man as Igor Vorotinov.
