Miami jury rules insurer not obligated in faked drowning case
A Miami circuit court jury decided the insurer must not pay $20,000 to Mrs. Virginia Vaughn in a case tied to Robert Vaughn who faked his 1968 drowning and vanished again in 1971. Vaughn, formerly Burton Stahl, once ran the Triple B Wig Co. of New York City and later worked as a scuba instructor. The suit contends misrepresentation and fraud surrounding two eras of alleged drowning and a remarriage under a new name.
