After suffering two shattered knees and a stroke, Anderson resident Connie Matajcich, 73, needed looking after. She still has trouble concentrating, but feels better now than before her stroke in 2008, she told the Valley Post last week.
"I really didn't know much of anything," Matajcich said of her pre-stroke condition. "I was sick and didn't know what I was doing."
It was while in that state of mind, Matajcich told investigators at the Anderson Police Department, that she was financially abused by her caretakers.
According to an APD report, Matajcich's caretakers "convinced her to enter into a reverse mortgage which she does not understand." She also alleged that profits from the reverse mortgage were then stolen from her.
The alleged caretakers were not professionals, they were not strangers - they were her daughter and son-in-law, Barbara Toman and Randy Toman, the police report indicates.
