A Virginia woman has been sentenced to four years in prison for an identity fraud scheme that included publishing a fake death notice.
The Daily Press reports 50-year-old Alexandra Hatcher also has to pay almost $203,000 in restitution to victims for the plot in which she tried to land $600,000 in life insurance proceeds. Hatcher pleaded guilty to the fake death last fall and to more than 20 fraudulent vehicle purchases across the country.
Hatcher’s 49-year-old husband Albert W. Hatcher Jr. was sentenced to four years and similar restitution in January for the same scheme. Court documents say Hatcher – legally known as Sandra then – and her husband took out life insurance policies on Sandra payable to Albert Hatcher, forged a death certificate and published a fake death notice.
