Predators of the Mentally Ill
| Posted on September 29, 2015 at 9:02 AM |
We recently handled a case for a client whose sister is a
Paranoid Schizophrenic and suffers from Bi-Polar disease as well. She has
battled this for nearly her entire adult life. There were periods of relative
calm, but for the most part, her life has been extremely difficult. Add to this the fact that her family is financially well
off. When her father passed away, he left her a considerable sum of money and
property. Her home was gifted to her. Several years later, when her mother
passed away, another large sum of money became available. These sums of money
are set up as trusts and paid to her monthly with some lump sum payments from
time to time. Suffice it say she was financially set. When our client, her sister, came to us, she was concerned
because her younger sister was spending money at a break neck pace. The client,
who lives out of state, requested we conduct some inquiries and a little
surveillance to see what was going on in Florida at her younger sister’s home. What we found was shocking. There were two men, both
registered sex offenders, living with the younger sister. One of them had
convinced her to buy him a brand new truck and they were engaged to be married.
The other registered sex offender told people he was her care-giver and was living
at her home rent-free. Both were convicted felons several times over. Our
investigation revealed they were doing drugs in the home and bringing
prostitutes to the house when the woman was asleep. Then we checked her
finances and found that she had either purchased or co-signed on over 22 car
loans through the years for her girlfriends. Additional research revealed her
name along with many of her “friends” on numerous checking accounts and many of
her friends had debit cards on her accounts. One month she received a sum of
nearly $80,000.00 and was broke within 3 weeks. The more we investigated and
researched, the more people we found with felony records that had lived at her
residence at some point through the years. Our client was also concerned due to
her sister’s failing health and mental / delusional episodes. What we found was heart-breaking. A middle-aged woman with
mental health issues and dozens of so-called “friends” who simply exploited
her, stole from her and took advantage of her for many years. Not one of them
ever reported her failing health to her family. Not one of them ever tried to
get her any help. They knew if the family became aware of the situation, then
there would be no more money. Thankfully, due to our investigation, both of the registered
sex offenders are no longer in the house. In fact, both have moved out of
state. Her friends were put on notice that no more “favors or loans” would be
done. The aftermath though is that it may be too late for this woman. She is in
a facility now and her affairs and estate are being properly managed to make
sure she is cared for. If you have a relative that you believe is being preyed upon
by unscrupulous people, call us for a consultation. (386) 310-4812 or online at www.RickRaymondPI.com or www.TheFloridaPI.com (C) Rick Raymond Investigations 2015 |
