Suspect Charged With Bilking Funds From 88 Year Old Woman

A story of elder abuse began to unfold when Katherine Garcia-Herzog appeared in court Tuesday on charges that she took advantage of an 88-year-old Fiddletown, California woman.

In addition to allegations of credit card use without authorization, it is believed that the proceeds of a reverse mortgage on the alleged victim's home was illegally diverted by the suspect for her own use.
