Tulsa Insurance Agent Accused Of Exploitation Of Elderly

 
MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma -After being swindled out of nearly $300,000, an elderly couple in Muskogee shares their story of betrayal.

The man accused of the crime is someone they thought they could trust. The couple said Keith Dennis was their investment broker and shared a checking account with them.

The couple is so heartbroken and embarrassed by the crime, they asked we didn't use their names or show their faces.

They're living out their retirement in the most simple of ways.

"I'm not an extravagant person and neither is he. He likes to watch his television and I like to watch my television and I like to go to the grocery store and I love to eat," the wife said.

But while this wife was at the grocery store, she said someone her husband trusted was eating away at their life savings.

"He hurt us to the tune of $300,000," she said.

Keith Dennis was the couple's investment broker. The husband said he watched Dennis grow up.

Dennis was initially hired to invest money for the husband's mother and when she passed away, the couple let Dennis take over their money; money the husband, a Korean War vet, earned by farming and running newspaper routes.
