Can you get any lower. good job TPD.

What kind of proof of ownership is required by a pawn shop? Why isn't the pawn shop who bought $4000 worth of jewelry off of this scumbag charged with receiving stolen property. Maybe they need to have a longer requirement for holding jewelry before melting down people's heirlooms. How much of their business is legit and how much is from these scumbags robbing disabled people and robbing homes? Maybe in addition to strong punishments for the person doing the stealing, we have to crack down on the place where they fence it. This is ridiculous.

Yet another fine example of Lawrence's best. That city is sure making headlines lately!!!!

So sad for the family!

the real kicker of all this is she will walk on a sweet probation deal as long as she hasnt got a horrendous record... if she has a history of legal troubles, shame of the hospice for not doing through back-ground checks. to put someone of questionable "moral fiber" in the position of caregiver to such vulnerable people is SO wrong ... hospice workers i have delt with are some of the nicest, compassionate folks.. this scumbag dont deserve to to be mentioned in the same paragraph as those heros .... very disturbing ... :(

Anytime you have a stranger in your home, put all valuables away, don't leave them alone in any room. Repair people, housekeepers, etc.. I, too, have had things disappear, my husbands watch and gold bracelet. He was on Hospice. We trust people too much. Just because we wouldn't ever think of taking something, there are people who would. If I have two repair people in the house, I have my very large dog upstairs. Don't trust anyone!

She is a Scumbag with a capital S. I was lucky, when my husband was dying I had awesome people come into my house. They prey on your sadness. She should go to jail. She should never work with the pubic again.

This is very heartbreaking for the patient and his family. Not only is the patient facing end-of-life issues, the family is preparing for the loss of a loved one. They have been betrayed by a person with whom they have placed their trust in care of their loved one. Then, to suffer the loss of personal heirlooms that can never be replaced is just maddening! Just think...it could have been his wife's wedding ring or many other things of sentimental value.

If this woman is found guilty, I hope she is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Also, a state investigation into the practices of this "Family Hospice" should be conducted. Nursing homes and hospice centers are also rated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. If you are seeking placement or services for a loved one, I would highly recommend checking out this government website:

From the way the article reads, the staffing company seems to be involved with the crime. Refusing to cooperate with the police? That's a coverup to me!

Maybe we could delete the racial slurs Patch Staff?

I'm more offended by the overabundant misuse of apostrophes, myself.

I've deleted racial slurs here. Also, let's refrain from "scumbag" if possible? Thanks

I'm not going to refrain from calling her a scumbag because that's what she is

Ed manzi 2013 and people like u are still ignorant. What she did was wrong, there is no excuse for it, but what you are saying is worst because people like you, RACIST, scare me the most because uyou never know what their ignorant mind will do.

And you are a RACIST.
