Huguette Clark (104-Year-Old Heiress) Finances Under Probe



A 104-year-old heiress to a Montana copper mining fortune -- now living in a New York hospital room -- is at the center of a criminal investigation into her fortune and welfare, two people familiar with the probe told The Associated Press.

The Manhattan district attorney's office is looking into how Huguette Clark is being cared for and how her finances are being handled, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the probe.

Clark has been living in hospitals since leaving her luxury co-op overlooking Central Park more than 20 years ago, according to building staff who saw her leave in an ambulance.

20 years in captivity? Unbelieavable!

Were they milking by hand or by machine?

Criminally confined for 20 yrs. in a hospital room!! Surely she should have been at home with aids providing assistance.
Now that this mystery has been announced, the attorneys will flock in for a BIG piece of the action.

Reminds me of the Ruth Lilly case.

We all think money equals power and it does unless you become the least bit vulnerable and then the vultures circle.

I am so sorry. This poor woman has been a cash cow for over 20 years.

Pathetic.

All of the parties in this case should be investigated.

How much money have they been making off of Huguette Clark?

This really gets my goat!

All I can do is pray for accountability for her. I wish we had an army who could storm the hospital; take her out and bring her home.

Is the judge asleep at the switch or in line at the bank?
