概要
In this episode, we follow the operation that used Bevins's photographs, traced Marcus Dwyer from a November handyman job to a New Year's Eve party in Findlay, and examine the three men who played distinct roles in a romance scam that targeted at least eleven women across four cities since 2015. We explore how Gloria noticed small fractures-the wrong truck seat position, the cigarette smoke that vanished, a phone voice that sounded like performance rather than presence-and how one night of careful hesitation before sending $4,200 became the moment that broke the entire scheme open.
Person: Gloria Carlson
Person: Todd Bevins
Person: Marcus Dwyer
Event: Romance fraud operation, January to March 2019
Location: Maplewood, Ohio; Findlay, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio
Amount: $4,200 requested but never sent
- Gloria Carlson had been a billing specialist at Harmon Regional Medical Group in Maplewood, Ohio for eleven years and was described by colleagues as meticulous and deliberate, not naive.
- Marcus Dwyer, age 39, performed handyman work at Peg Novak's cousin's house in Findlay in November 2018, two months before the New Year's Eve party where he met Peg and gained access to Gloria's social circle.
- The first date between Gloria and the man calling himself Clifford Osborne was at the Briar Cup coffee shop on Clement Avenue in January 2019; over six weeks they had four dinners, two coffees, and one walk along the Maplewood Canal towpath.
- On March 14, 2019 at 8 p.m., Clifford called Gloria with an unusual request for $4,200 due in 48 hours, claiming a wire transfer had been flagged and a lease renewal was due; Gloria noticed his voice sounded subtly different and did not send the money.
- Darlene Wilson, a fraud examiner and Gloria's closest friend, identified the photographs as belonging to Todd Bevins of Dayton within four hours using reverse image search on March 15, 2019; a storage unit east of Columbus later revealed printed dossiers on eleven women across four cities and wire transfer confirmations showing the operation had been running since at least 2015.
