Does everyone on here remember this case from October 16, 1991. The case where an old immigrant was bulked out of $5000 which also involved a black accomplice? White was a master of disguse.

Was White and the accomplice ever captured?

I don't know if she was ever captured, but I certainly hope so. That's an interesting segment and I felt so sorry for that elderly woman. It's sickening how people go to these lengths to scam innocent elderly people, I mean, $5,000 is a lot of money!!!!

Josephine was caught a while ago. I have a taped airing of this episode that was shown at least 15 years ago where the update is present. I'm not sure about the accomplice.

I remember that case. Hope she was caught. Stupid Cow

That's great if she was captured. Such a low and pathetic act.

I am glad that she was caught. I Haven't seen that segment in years and I am still looking/hoping someone will put that segment up on youtube. Unsolved Mysteries was one of my very favorite shows. I especially loved all the fraud segments. If you could me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
