Elderly Couple Bilked Out of $1.5 Million by Son and Others

The son of an elderly Davis couple and two others have pleaded no contest to stealing $1.5 million from the couple, according to the Yolo County District Attorney's Office.

The son, whose name was not made public in order to protect the victims, the son's ex-wife Jennifer Haskell, and a second man, Marlo Compton, used several ploys to steal the victims' life savings, said chief Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Raven.

The defendants' pleas to multiple theft charges include prison terms and restitution to the victims. The son, Haskell, and Compton were scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 1 in Yolo County Superior Court.
