On July 28, 2012 Jonathan Roth reported his 48-year-old father, Raymond Roth, missing. Raymond, his wife Evana and their 22-year-old son lived on Long Island in Massapequa, New York. According to Jonathan, his father while swimming off Nassau County's Jones Beach had been swept out into the Atlantic Ocean.
As officers from the U. S. Coast Guard and various law enforcement agencies searched for Raymond Roth he was relaxing in Orlando, Florida at his timeshare condo. A couple of days into the search for Raymond's body his 43-year-old wife Evana came across emails between her missing husband and their son that laid out their plan to defraud the life insurance company of $410,000.
According the scheme, Evana Roth would receive the life insurance payout and Raymond would start a new life in Florida. Mrs. Roth, not a party to the fraud, called the Nassau County Police.
On August 2, 2012 Raymond was driving back to New York. He had agreed to meet with law enforcement authorities in Massapequa. In Santee, South Carolina a police officer pulled him over for driving 90 mph. After Roth failed to show up for his meeting with the authorities in Nassau County a prosecutor charged him with insurance fraud, conspiracy and filing a false report.
Police officers, on August 6, 2012, took Raymond Roth and his son into custody. Both men made bail and entered not guilty pleas to the criminal charges.
On March 22, 2013 Raymond Roth and a Nassau County prosecutor agreed on a plea deal. In return for his guilty plea, the judge, on May 21, 2013, sentenced him to 90 days in jail and five years of probation. If Roth didn't pay $27,000 in restitution to the U. S. Coast Guard and $9,000 to the Nassau Police Department, the judge would incarcerate him up to four years.
Jonathan Roth pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation.
People who fake their own deaths as a method of defrauding an insurance company rarely succeed. The most common technique in such crimes involves staging phony drownings. Whenever a heavily insured person goes swimming or boating and doesn't come back, and the body is not recovered, alarm bells go of in the insurance company's office. In a world in which we are under constant video and computer surveillance it's hard for these insurance scam artists to remain dead very long.
Shortly after pleading guilty to insurance fraud, Raymond Roth was in trouble again with the law. In Freeport, New York he identified himself to a woman as a police officer and ordered her into his van. She fled into a nearby store and called the police. Instead of jail, the authorities took Roth to a psychiatric ward where he tried to commit suicide. A local prosecutor charged him with criminal impersonation and attempted kidnapping.
In April 2014 Raymond Roth pleaded guilty to impersonation of a police officer and attempted unlawful imprisonment. The judge sentenced him to two to seven years in prison.

Tricking an insurance company by faking deaths is like killing yourself inside of jail and drown yourself to debts!
