This Deep Dive take a look into a case of workers' compensation fraud where Randi L. Magpie stole over $42,000 in benefits intended for his deceased mother, Linda Chaney. After Chaney's death in 2022, Magpie deposited 43 checks into his personal account through 2023, even falsely claiming his mother was "out of town" to prolong the scheme. The fraud was uncovered when the insurance company, NJM, obtained Chaney's death certificate after repeated unsuccessful attempts to contact her. Magpie pleaded guilty to grand and petit larceny, agreeing to probation and restitution, with the potential to withdraw his felony plea after fulfilling the terms.
