A woman will spend the next 20 years behind bars for defrauding a California man of his multimillion dollar house and later having someone chop up his body and dispose of the parts in the San Francisco Bay after he died under mysterious circumstances.

According to the U.S. Attorney with the Central District of California, 44-year-old Caroline Joanne Herrling, also known as “Carrie Phenix,” would research homes in affluent neighborhoods that looked unkempt in hopes that she could take advantage of the owner. In 2020, she found such a home in Sherman Oaks owned by Charles Wilding who was in his late 60s.

Neighbors told the Los Angeles Times Wilding lived in the home his entire life with his mother, who died in 2017. After his mother’s death, he became more reclusive, rebutting neighbors’ offers of help to keep up the property.
