Con man gets prison; Sacramento couple he bilked face two foreclosures

The crook and one-time killer who bilked Patsy and Oliver Davis out of $172,000 is going to prison, and the elderly couple have since moved into a rebuilt home built with the muscle of area volunteers.
But this isn't a story with a feel-good ending for the Davises. The retirees who found themselves ripped off in a contractor scam say the events of the past 3 1/2 years have turned their golden years into what Patsy Davis, 70, called a "nightmare."
"I just wish I could get some money," she said in an interview Friday, after Keith Lidell McGowan,the Antelope man who sweet-talked, prayed and stole from them, was ordered to spend the next 10 years and four months of his life in state prison.
"We don't have money, that's the worst part. He took all of our money. He took everything we had. We don't have anything," Patsy Davis said.
Patsy and Oliver Davis, 89, are neither McGowan's first nor his most abused victims.
