Life Insurance - Faked death scam

It seems that Harry Gordon and Josaphine Gordon decided they didn't want to be married any more. So... why not kill the husband in a fake boating accident and get $3.5 million out of the deal. It turned out that Harry Gordon "moved" from Australia to New Zealand and got remarried to another woman. They figured, "if we're going to have some turmoil in our lives, why not just get paid for it. $3.5 million worth. Harry Gordon is in jail for 15 months and Josaphine Gordon is facing charges. It's important to remember that the insurance companies are loaded with cash and they like to protect it. They can hire all types of investigators to figure things out if there's a fraud involved.
CHARGES have been withdrawn against a woman who was accused of helping her father fake his death as part of a $3.5 million life insurance scam. Josaphine Gordon, 30, was facing charges of obtaining money by deception, conspiracy to commit an offence and making a false statement in relation to her father Harry Bentley Gordon's life insurance fraud. Ms Gordon was to appear in Raymond Terrace Local Court today but the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) withdrew all three charges against her.

This is very ordinary reporting.

Harry's wife's name is Sheila, Josaphine is his daughter.

There was no turmoil in the marriage and Harry only got involved with another woman after Sheila began a defacto relationship with the former head of NSW Water Board.
Harry's sentence was 12 months, not 15 months.

Investigations revealed nothing, it wasn't until Sheila decided not to go through with it and tell the police of the conspiracy that the police and investigators knew anything so your statement that 'They can hire all types of investigators to figure things out' is baseless and unecessary.

You may ask how I know of this, well I was Josaphine's boyfriend at the time all this happened and was involved first hand in advising her on the charges that were laid.
