A man and a woman posing as federal agents scammed their way into the year-old woman’s home in Jackson, Miss., in September and took watches, bracelets and necklaces that Walter Payton bought for her as his football career took off.

“Oh, it means everything,” she said Thursday from her Jackson home. “They’ve recovered some of it, two watches and a necklace that was the first necklace Walter ever gave me.”

A woman who was his alleged accomplice in the robbery remains at large.
