Indiana authorities accused the 79-year-old pensioner Edna Sue Pate that she lost at the casino 97 thousand dollars intended for teaching her grandson in college.
According to the Associated Press, the money was illegally taken by the woman from a trust fund.
According to police, Pate took the money from the fund, and play for them from 2013 till 2016. Also noted that most of the sum was spent on baccarat game. The account was opened for her grandson, Christian Smith. The pensioner had permission to receive funds, but she had no right to dispose of them. In total, the woman took the money from the fund of almost 50 times.
Currently Pate wanted in Indiana. A few days ago she was found in the town of Minden in Louisiana, but the police did not arrest the pensioner.
Christian Father Tom Smith, who works as a private detective, said that he will find the way to bring her to justice. According to Tom, he will picket the Prosecutor’s Office and will organize online campaign against the government of Indiana and Louisiana. “She must answer for her actions in order to discourage others” – said Smith, noting that his son also supports this idea.
