Carolyn Davis, 70, made what might have seemed like a routine trip to the Bi-Lo supermarket in March of 2008. Upon leaving the store, however, Davis reported to the police that her car had gone missing from the parking lot.

Davis told police that it must have been stolen while she was shopping, after which she successfully filed a claim with State Farm Insurance for vehicle theft and received $5,225. The "stolen" 2000 Ford Explorer was found burning nearby just a short time after the report was made.

Police weren't willing to check out on this case, and obtained surveillance video of Davis being dropped off at the Bi-Lo by her co-defendant, Reuben Jones, who then drove away in her vehicle. When investigators presented Davis with the video, she confessed to conspiring with Jones to burn the Explorer and collect payment.
