New Orleans Mother Fakes Death Certificate for Insurance
Rose Bersuder, 36, of 1043 Clouet Street, allegedly faked her infant child’s death certificate to obtain 150.30 from Metropolitan Life Insurance. Facing a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, she was paroled by Judge O'Donnell with a bondsman required. Authorities say she altered an earlier death document for nine year old Josephine to secure policy payment amid dire poverty.
