3. The fraudster with a suspiciously familiar new boyfriend
In 2004 in Texas, 20-year-old Molly Daniel’s husband Clayton Daniels was about to go to prison for sexual assault charges. However, he was suddenly found dead in a burned out Chevy Cavalier. The body was burned to the point it was unrecognizable, but it had Clayton’s shoes and baseball cap. Molly was set to receive the benefit from a $110,000 life insurance policy. She soon introduced family to her new boyfriend “Jake Gregg” who looked an awful lot like Clayton with dyed black hair. Meanwhile investigators testing the charred body’s DNA determined it was not Clayton, and was in fact a woman. It soon came out that Molly had done significant arson research before the crash. She then admitted to having dug up the body of an 81-year-old woman and placing it in the car. Molly received a 20-year sentence and was released early in 2016. The still-living Clayton received a 30-year sentence and remains in prison.
