A California True Crime Exposé of Dr. Richard Boggs, Stolen Corpses, and $13 Million Insurance Fraud

In 1988, Glendale, California physician Dr. Richard Boggs reported that patient Ellis Greene had died of a sudden heart attack in his clinic office. However, routine insurance verification by claims investigators uncovered that the deceased man was actually a stranger whose body was used to fake the death of former movie movie-prop manufacturer Gene Hanson.

Los Angeles Times reporter Edwin Chen reconstructs the multi-state investigation by Glendale police, the FBI, and insurance auditors into a $13 million life insurance fraud conspiracy. The narrative details the grave-robbing connections, passport falsifications, and trial that convicted Boggs and Hanson of murder.
