Auburn Journal : Top Stories: "Thanks to a new law an 83-year-old Roseville man bilked out of $700,000 by his niece has most of his money back.
Laura Conrad, elder abuse victim advocate with the Placer County District Attorney's Office, declined to identify the victim in the case stating that she doesn't want him to be a target once again.
'(The victim) loaned his niece, Linda Middleton, $600,000 to get into a house in the area,' Conrad said. 'He had planned to live with them.'
That didn't happen.
Middleton moved into a home and then wanted a larger home, Conrad said. The victim once again loaned his niece and her husband more money. Middleton's husband, whose name was not released, then lost his job. It was then that the victim asked for his money back."
