According to records, Odtllah's last address before he was arrested was The Grove, a gated community in the Memphis suburb of Cordova, with swimming pools, tennis courts and spas. Police say Odtllah came to the United States about 13 years ago and had been in Tennessee for about 2 1/2 years.

Smith later told officials she met Odtllah at his gas station. He sold her the Acura, which was still in Odtllah's name when Smith died.

When Smith was arrested, authorities say she admitted helping Odtllah obtain licenses for "cousins" on a half-dozen occasions in the past year. An FBI agent later testified that Odtllah was charging up to $1,200 each to help people get their new identities
