The Dauphin County Elder Abuse Task Force announced an arrest in one of its largest cases since it formed in 2004. Investigators say Kevin Marcy stole $379,132.62 from his 89 year old great aunt, a retired teacher. He was her only relative, lived with her and had her power of attorney. Authorities say Marcy cashed his great aunt's pension and social security checks. The woman is suffering from Alzheimer's. Marcy is being charged with theft.
"I'd put this up there as one of the higher cases of theft regardless of who the victim was in the last several years that I've seen in Dauphin County from a pure monetary perspective," says Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico.
