Court records show that Wilfork found he was missing a few items of jewelry, which includes a 10k white gold diamond necklace, white gold bracelets and three pairs of diamond earnings. Wilfork estimated the total loss of the jewelry was approx. $400,000. Police said it wasn’t until May 10 that Wilfork found the jewelry was missing when he received an email from someone in a memorabilia group saying they had the rings and wanted to know if they were authentic.

According to police, Holmes-Wilfork sold the rings for $62,000 over a year ago. On March 11, 2020, the son also allegedly pawned eight of his dad’s items for $4,600. Police tracked down the jewelry after speaking with the business on May 17, 2021 two days later, authorities had the rings. According to court documents, Wilfork says he never gave his son permission to take or sell any of his jewelry, which he says were all removed from his primary bedroom closet without his consent.
