Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle announced the arrest of the caretaker of an impaired elderly victim.
The investigation by the Elder and Vulnerable Adult Exploitation Task Force involves the alleged looting of the victim's funds.
The victim, 89-year-old Lina Gomez, suffers from advanced Alzheimer's and Dementia, Fernandez Rundle told reporters at a press conference Thursday afternoon.
Gomez had become non-verbal and did not have any family that could take care of her.
The 78-year-old defendant, Zoraida Denis Mollinea, had befriended Gomez in 2016, according to Fernandez Rundle.
Mollinea reportedly obtained a power of attorney, gained access to bank accounts, and eventually even sold the victim’s home.
