A 47-year-old woman will spend more than 20 years behind bars for a bizarre identity-theft plot. Her weapon of choice was cheesecake laced with a powerful Russian sedative.
Back in 2016, Olga Tsvyk was found unconscious and surrounded by pills in her bed. The last thing she remembered was Viktoria Nasyrova bringing her a cheesecake that, it turned out, had been poisoned.. At her trial, prosecutors outlined her plan to poison Tsvyk – who looked very similar to her and also spoke Russian – in order to steal the 35-year-old's identity.home, toting cheesecake. After eating a slice, Tsvyk felt sick and passed out.
The following day, Tsvyk was found unconscious in her bed with pills scattered around her body as if she had attempted to kill herself. After returning home from the hospital, she realized that her passport and employment authorization card were missing, along with a gold ring and other valuables. Law enforcement agents with the Department of Homeland Security discovered the Russian drug phenazepam, a highly potent sedative, in cheesecake residue found on the dessert container. That matched the pills found scattered around the room.
