Officials said Curry submitted a life insurance application to Globe Life and Accident Insurance Company in 2016. In the application, she allegedly said that she was the grandmother of the insured child.
The child died four years later in Dec. 2020 and Curry received a $35,000 payout, according to officials. But investigators said they learned she wasn’t related at all to the child.

Officials have issued a warrant for Curry’s arrest in Bibb County.
