Twin Cities woman admits faking ex-husband's death, collecting $2M

A Twin Cities woman admitted Monday that she staged her ex-husband's death to collect $2 million in insurance money as part of a scheme stretching into Eastern Europe and back to a Minneapolis cemetery, where ashes that were not his were interred behind a stone tile bearing his name.

Irina Vorotinov, 49, of Minneapolis, pleaded guilty in federal court in Minneapolis to mail fraud and a related felony count for her role in the concocted death of Igor Vorotinov, who was last said to be alive in Ukraine and Moldova.
