Best of 2024: Florida Woman Who Broke Into 200 Homes Shares Secrets

One of the best episodes of 2024. Jennifer Gomez paints a rosy picture of her upbringing. Her mom was a neurologist. Her Dad is a psychiatrist. She is the youngest of seven children. She said all of her siblings are successful. But as a child, she didn’t see their success as enviable. She saw it as boring. She told Matt Austin and Ginger Gadsden on Florida’s Fourth Estate, when she thought of their lives she thought, “Your life looks really boring, going to work every day, doing these routine mundane things.” She said she wanted excitement, and she found it in targeting wealthy homes and stealing some of their most prized possessions. Altogether, she said she burglarized hundreds of homes: “I don’t actually know the number, I’m going solely by what the detectives said and what was in my paperwork. It was 200, on paper, documented, that you can find.” Now Gomez is coming clean sharing her stories on social media and warning people to stop doing simple things that make them and their homes a target. For starters she said to stop making assumptions, “These people would look at me in these neighborhoods, communicate with me, look me straight in the eyes, and never suspect anything because of the way that I look.” Learn more about your ad choices.
