California - I hope I am posting this in the right forum. My sister and her boyfriend came out from tennessee to "help" my father through a divorce. He was kicked out of his house by the judge after a drunken fight with his ex wife..not my mother. So he stayed on friends couches, including mine, with the intent to "win" the house back or force the ex to sell it. The sister shows up, rented an apartment and moved him in with her.
We (my other sister and I )were suspicious (my father was expecting a large settlement upon the divorce due to the ex buying him out) since she has a criminal history... but she loves her daddy.
Let me keep this short...after about a year of this, sis and I found Daddy a small apartment he could afford and moved him in so she and bf could go back to Tennessee. One the way out of town, their car broke down...I let them stay with me for month to save enough to fix it, five months later, they are gone and in their wake they have hit every member of the family with identity theft...credit cards, cell phones, etc...most of it on Daddy. We know it was her. She left behind reciepts and bills started coming in in his name. She also put herself and bf on my daughters credit as users..my daughter barely knows her, she wouldn't even put me as a user on credit.
We have done the foot work to clean it up, but we want to prosecute her and him...the police reports have been filed...all evidence submitted. What now...the police know they ripped off an old man...it doesn't seem like anything else it happening...any suggestions..I don't want the trail to get cold...we were thinking of posting a pic of them on the internet with a story of this, maybe others were affected too.What is the name of your state?
