Speaker 4: One of them was Antoinette. I don't remember last names,
uh Antoinette. Oh it was. It was a few of them.
Steve had a couple of people. I don't I can't
remember all their names. I just was the main one
because I was the only nerves.
Speaker 2: Okay. So he wanted to be there every day. Okay.
Speaker 3: So, and you said originally the payments were four thousand
dollars every two weeks for.
Speaker 2: Me for you, right, So that would be eight thousand
a month, right.
Speaker 4: But he would pay me the consistent amount, and I
would pay them, so I would pay them through Zo,
so he.
Speaker 5: Would pay me my mount.
Speaker 4: He would pay me, he said, he only writing one check,
so that means I would get to check.
Speaker 2: Okay, so tell me what that what does that check
look like?
Speaker 5: Sixty eight? I believe sixty eight.
Speaker 2: It varied, so sixty every two weeks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it kind of varied because it depended on
if he wanted somebody to stay and he pay extra.
Speaker 5: So it never was like, how.
Speaker 2: Did he figure out how to how much to pay
somebody extra? You said, you guys didn't do it.
Speaker 5: He would just say what he wanted, like can you stay?
Speaker 4: Like he might ask me or somebody else, and he'd
be like, if you stay, I'll give you extra hundred dollars.
I get extra two hundred dollars, you know, not every day,
but periodically maybe, like can you stay today because I'm tired?
Speaker 2: I mean Jill. So, Jill and Steve they're pretty well off.
What you mean, like they have a lot of money.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, Jill has no money.
Speaker 2: She has no money. No, okay, well, okay, so how
did they afford this house? Theron?
Speaker 4: So, Steve took the money out of his account that
he had, He took his savings and put it in
there for the new house. When they sold the old house,
they took the money from the old house.
Speaker 5: And put it in the bank for Jill's care.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're okay, So who.
Speaker 4: So, I guess Jill and her first husband had the
house initially when you know, when it got married years ago,
they kids lived and grew up in there. Then I
guess they got divorced, and then Steve and Jill moved
in together.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: According to Steve, they've been together for twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: One years as of this year. Okay, that's my.
Speaker 5: I know she had the two sons.
Speaker 4: They uh, when she first came home, they used to come,
but then they just stopped after maybe like the first
like the first maybe six seven.
Speaker 2: Months, they stopped coming.
Speaker 4: When in twenty after twenty twenty one, they didn't really
come that much.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, they didn't really come. Okay.
Speaker 5: Uh, so it was just Steve and Jill.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: Steve still worked cause he was a lawyer. Mm so
he worked in at home and some days he may
go out to the office. I don't know how they
had their arrangements set up with them and whoever.
Speaker 2: I don't know what do you mean arrangement.
Speaker 4: I don't like who was supposed to get the house
and stuff like that, cause that's what a lot of
this is steming.
Speaker 2: From Okay, but what okay I'm.
Speaker 5: Saying with between Steve and the.
Speaker 2: Boys, Oh okay. Yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 4: Know if they had any types of arrangements or nothing
like that. Okay, but I know when Steve got this
house over here. So Jill said one day to Steve,
I want to move, she said, cause I have a
lot of mad memories at clearly her ex husband was
abusive to her.
Speaker 2: Okay, and She's like, I want to move.
Speaker 5: So he said, okay, he did the paperwork.
Speaker 4: He Okay, I guess he did whatever he did.
Speaker 3: So you weren't involved in the sale of that house
or you didn't help them sell it or anything like that.
Speaker 5: No, I didn't. I didn't sell the house, Steve the house.
Speaker 2: But who who talked to the people to sell the house? Steve?
Speaker 5: Steve?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Steve.
Speaker 5: Steve is was alert and oriented times fortified.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I'm just I don't know anybody.
Speaker 3: I'm just asking, you know, to try to kind of
wrap my head a on you know, what we're dealing
with here.
Speaker 5: I for somewhere between four eighty and five.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a pretty nice house.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so my husband kind of updated the house for
Steve so that they could get.
Speaker 2: It moved out. Did Steve pay m for that work? Yeah?
Steve paid him for that work. Do you know how much? No,
I don't know.
Speaker 4: I ain't get involved in that. Okay, we felt our
business separate. Okay, yeah, alright, and so some stuff he
didn't pay Steve. I mean, Steve didn't pay him. He
just did it because he liked him.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. And then so they sell the house
and you said that's Jill wanted to move because she Jill.
Speaker 4: Wanted to move because she said she was having bad memories.
She has a best friend named Nicky, whom she's spoke with.
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this, when when did when
did Jill's like? Cause my understanding is that Jill has
some cognitive issue. When did that start? Jill?
Speaker 4: She Well, Jill has periods of confusion, like she'll mix
the information up, But if you have a general conversation
with her, she knows everything she's talking about. Okay, So
I wouldn't say that she had dementia. Well, she went
to the doctor. I took to the doctor. She didn't
had dementia.
Speaker 5: Uh, she did have what they called I gave the paper.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, what's her doctor? Where I'm going? Okay?
Speaker 4: Because the van would the van, I would have the
van service come pick jail up, and then I followed
the vand service to the location.
Speaker 2: Oh so a van would and then you would go
with her? Yes, okay, what's the van service? What's that called?
Speaker 5: One stop?
Speaker 2: One stop?
Speaker 5: Yeah, one stop van service?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So would Steve ever go with her to
any of these? Okay? When did Steve did Steve?
Speaker 5: Well, no, that's not true. He won a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Okay, but did he ever? Did he drive? Yeah? Up
until when?
Speaker 5: Up until.
Speaker 2: June? June?
Speaker 4: Up until June because he had a fall and he
hurt his leg.
Speaker 3: Okay, so he stopped driving after that. Yeah, okay, all right, okay,
so do you know why he was falling?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: I did take him to the hospital. They checked him out.
They said he was fine, He just was a little weak.
They gave him a walker. He used a walker sometimes
sometimes he didn't.
Speaker 2: Okay. Steve liked to smoke.
Speaker 4: So Steve smoked all day long, like I'm talking, Well,
he smoked camel. So he only would smoke maybe about
that much and throw the rest of the boy.
Speaker 2: Where would he smoke at in the front under that? Oh? Outside? Okay, yeah,
never inside? Okay, what did so he went to the
hospital for a fall. Do you remember when that was?
Speaker 5: Well, he won a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Yes, I can't remember the exact day. How did they
move all their stuff?
Speaker 4: My husband and the boys moved.
Speaker 2: Okay, and they got paid I'm sure for that. No, no,
all right.
Speaker 3: So getting back to it, so you were saying you
were getting paid, Steve would write a check for you,
said about sixty eight hundred, and then he would write that. Sure,
he wrote that check to you, and then you would
disperse it via.
Speaker 5: Zel Zell cash out.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, so Zell or cat chap, and then you
would that's how you would pay the other people that
worked there. So you didn't have a company per se
that these people were employed by. No, okay, okay, well
I get it, all right. So we're talking roughly thirteen
thousand a month for twenty four to seven care twelve.
I know it's about twelve, about twelve, about twelve, but
if it was sixty eight hundred, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But that's why I say that very because it
just I mean it kind of depended.
Speaker 2: On either way. It was about twelve.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I said.
Speaker 3: Consistently since twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: One, except in those payments, I purchased yill.
Speaker 5: Stuff out of my money.
Speaker 2: Why would you do that?
Speaker 5: Because I just did. That's what I did.
Speaker 2: I would when I think, like, what do you mean
by like.
Speaker 4: Her diapers her the past? Cause she wore diapers. Uh
when I got her, she was seventy pounds. She's now
like one hundred and twenty eight pounds or something, so
so that means she couldn't fit her clothes.
Speaker 5: So I'd buy I would buy her clothes.
Speaker 2: And then Steve would reimburse you for that.
Speaker 5: No, I would do.
Speaker 4: It because I like her. Like she'd be like, Linda,
give me I like this on TV or something. I mean,
like we had a relationship. Okay, Like she would be like.
Speaker 2: So you would use your own credit card, bank card, whatever.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm saying not all the time. I'm just saying
I would do for her.
Speaker 2: It was things that I did for her and Steve,
how much you are we talking a month?
Speaker 5: Well, let me see diapers, give a take.
Speaker 4: She may use two packs of diapers a month, which
is probably like thirty five or thirty seven dollars apiece
passes around the same thing twenty three, So she would
use two and two, you know, two and two cause
then when she slept at not you put the pad
up under Okay. Then I started buying what does those
things called? I started buying absorbent paths, like, uh, we're
trying to mess say it where you understand?
Speaker 2: So were we talking like five or six hundred bucks
a month kind of a deal?
Speaker 5: Sometimes more than that.
Speaker 4: Like I just went shopping for him and I bought
Steve some clothes cause he stopped wearing suit He wore
suits all the time, and so he would only have
like one pair of pants.
Speaker 5: I'm like they kind of was. We was like family.
I would be like, Steve, you gotta put on you know,
you gotta.
Speaker 4: So I would go out. I'd buy him like four
or five jogging suits from uh Macy's or Burlington mar
Marshalls and jail.
Speaker 5: Same thing. I'd be like, oh and you.
Speaker 2: And he's wouldn't reimburse you for any ofthing.
Speaker 4: I didn't.
Speaker 5: I never asks to be bring.
Speaker 2: Never asked him no, okay, Nope, Okay.
Speaker 4: I mean because we kind of just treat like I
came like every morning I came.
Speaker 2: I stuff like that.
Speaker 4: No, because we had a relationship with each other. Like
he was like he could used to call me his
black niece. He was like, so okayr let me see.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So initially when the kids, when they initially came, they
were everybody was fine with everything, I guess until they
wanted to put her in a nursing home. Whatever their
conversations that took place. You know, whoever was working there
and myself would leave so that they can have their
own personal conversations and so that will would you know,
So that way we wasn't in their business.
Speaker 2: But Steve still would share with.
Speaker 4: Jill's best friend which is Mickey, his lawyer which is
Jim Phasian, and myself and other staff members.
Speaker 5: You know, what was being done to them.
Speaker 2: And so and what was that what was being.
Speaker 4: Done on I guess the boys was trying to make
him put Jill in the nurse a home so they
could sell the house.
Speaker 5: And they wanted the money for the kids.
Speaker 4: They said, did my dad promised to pay with this
house for my kids education?
Speaker 5: Okay, And I'm not the only person that knows this.
Speaker 2: So who else would know that?
Speaker 4: Micki NICKI, yes, Mickey Schapiro I think that's how you
say her name, Shapiro like that.
Speaker 2: And Jim Fasian Jim Fijian. Yeah, so they're well aware
of this situation.
Speaker 4: And his So Steve worked at Dowmons is like a
multi billion dollar company, Dowmon's properties and an arbor.
Speaker 2: Okay, they they know about some of it. Yeah, they
know about it. They know enough about.
Speaker 3: It because yes, Steven would tell them. Okay, so this
Mickey and this Stephen would tell them that this is
going on and the boys want all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they want to want this money. Okay, So what
was like, how did how did Steven feel about this?
Speaker 4: Well, he was like, oh no, they can't do this
to me and whatever.
Speaker 6: You know, I would tell.
Speaker 4: Them calm down, It's just not that simple. You know,
you are you know Jill? I mean they would come
and sometimes like they would come periodically, like once every
eight months or something.
Speaker 2: So at this time, Steve was basically taking care of
Jill's stuff, right.
Speaker 5: He's always he has always taken care of her.
Speaker 3: But like obviously at the time this house things going on.
They're dealing with Steven with regard to this, because Steven
lives there too, right, Yeah, so.
Speaker 4: They wanted him to move out, put Jill in nurse
a home, and sell the house so their kids college
fund can be paid.
Speaker 2: And when did this take place.
Speaker 4: That took place. That was last year when they had
that conversation. Maybe around this time, so fall of twenty three,
maybe fall of twenty twenty three, okay, but actually just
before Steve died, they were coming, uh, they had came again,
and he was like, I just don't wanna see him again.
Micky knows, cause she's the best friend.
Speaker 2: So she he would talk to her as well, okay, and.
Speaker 4: She said she was like, I mean not she He
was like, I just don't wanna see him.
Speaker 5: You know, I have a daughter that special needs, you know.
Speaker 4: And so he put certain things in place so that
I could help them as far as like if something
happened to him. He was like, this is what I
need you to do. This is who you call. Jim
Phagan was the person to call. I would talk to
Micky anyway, because I would give her updates on Jill,
and so Micky would Micky would pop up and come
over and see about Jill and I.
Speaker 5: It's always been me and I.
Speaker 2: If so, how many times did Mickey come over since
July when they moved over here.
Speaker 4: She Micky only came over once because she had just
got out of the hospital. Okay, so Micky had a ball,
a bad ball, and so she was in the hospital,
so she only got to come over.
Speaker 5: But she mo she lives in Florida, so she moved
to Florida.
Speaker 2: But they got a telephone number though. Okay, alright, it's.
Speaker 4: Kind of all over the place, because this is how
this I'm this is deeper than I don't know what
they said, I really so what so what was your.
Speaker 2: Role then in helping Steven out with stuff like when
you're saying you were helping him with arrangements or he
would tell you things like let's go through some of that.
Speaker 4: What would he Well, he told me where all of
his paperwork was, as far as for like power of attorney,
what to do for power of attorney. He taught me
what to do for Jill. Uh like if he was
you know, like he gave me a list of papers
that he and somebody else side I n man, none
knew me, like they signed it, maybe like years ago,
and he was like, if something happened to me, these
are the papers that you get because this is how
Jill's gonna get her money that's left over, which is
not a lot.
Speaker 2: But why do you How do you know that? Because
he told me? He told you how much money he had? Yeah, okay,
how much was it?
Speaker 4: It was something like six ninety five or seven hundred
thousand or something like that.
Speaker 5: Okay, now to the exact number, I can't.

Speaker 2: So who's listed as the power of attorney or Jill? Whoever?
How many power of attorneys?
Speaker 5: It was two?

Speaker 4: Okay, so it was one for Steve initially when I
guess when the boys started trying to threaten him to
take take you know, put him out and take the
house or whatever.
Speaker 5: So then he got power of attorney over jail.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was Steve over jail. Yes, so she

and extensive.
Speaker 4: However, they did whatever they was gonna do. I stayed
at the hospital all day with Steve waiting on them.
Then when they finally came to get me, I went
back to.
Speaker 2: See waiting on them. What do you mean was the hospital? Okay?
Speaker 5: I was still at the hospital. I stayed there the whole.
Speaker 3: Time, and that was that was the first day he
went there. Yeah, you were there the whole time. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: What was the nurse or whoever you talked to? No,
I don't remember that name. Okay. You're a nurse yourself, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I can't remember yeah, all right, Yeah, I can
remember everybody's name.
Speaker 2: Okay. Lot. So they're saying to do a surgery.
Speaker 5: In what they did, they did a surgery.
Speaker 2: Sorry to cut you off. This power of attorney and
forgive me because I'm very ignorant to medical stuff. Is
this something you have to present the hospital when you
go there? And like, do you have to like show
them this power of attorney? Like how do they know?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: I didn't present anything.
Speaker 2: You didn't present anything.
Speaker 5: But I did talk to Jail on the phone.
Speaker 2: Right. But you said you told them you had power
of attorney. Yeah, okay, but you didn't have to show
them anything.
Speaker 5: No, I didn't show them anything, Okay.
Speaker 2: All right, so you identified yourself as as what then
to the medical.
Speaker 4: Staff, to his niece, because that's what he called me,
his black niece. He's like this, ma bla adopted black niece.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you say that you're his niece and you
have power of attorney, so you tell them this and
then you go through the.
Speaker 5: Whole No, I didn't go through anything. I talked to Jill.
Speaker 2: Well, you went through something. You were there. You went
through the whole thing with them, because who else did
they a thing of what his care?
Speaker 5: Oh that's what I'm saying. I talked with Jill. She
wanted him to have a surgery.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I let them know to go ahead and
do the surgery to save them.
Speaker 2: Okay, that they did, okay.
Speaker 4: And then from there it was just primarily a waiting game,
so just trying.
Speaker 2: To, you know, see which way it was.
Speaker 5: He appeared to be.
Speaker 2: Doing good though, okay, okay.
Speaker 4: Well not good, but you know, he appeared to be stable,
lizing I should say it.
Speaker 2: That way, Okay, Like, what do you mean by that?
He was responsive to me grab my hand?
Speaker 4: No, he just kind of mumbled a little bit, Okay,
he can hold my hand. I don't remember the nurse's name,
but she was in there, okay, and she was like,
oh wow, you.
Speaker 5: Know he responds to you.
Speaker 4: He's he doing what he wasn't doing and you caught him.
He responded, he grabbed your hand, He turned his head,
he blinked when I asked him questions.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So then, what like, what happens after?
How long was he in the hospital for?
Speaker 4: I want to say three days, okay, I want to
say three days before he died, because we were we
got left right after.
Speaker 3: So the whole time was the hospital communicating them with
you and then you would communicate with Jill, or.
Speaker 5: The hospital will communicate with me and I will communicate.
Speaker 2: So would they call you or was it when you
were there?
Speaker 4: No, they would call me because because I left and
went out of town. Okay, I think I was saying
that when we were back at the house, I left
and went out of town because that was the vacation
that we.
Speaker 2: Were already you already had, That's where we were.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why we were there so early to try
to take care of business with Steve and to you know,
just trying to sort out all our what we needed
to sort out so we could leave.
Speaker 2: So what were the dates you were in Thailand again?
Speaker 4: Nineteen through the twenty third or the fourth. Now, I
don't know how that difference in the date or time
from here to there.
Speaker 2: Sure, okay, so you only went for about five days. No,
I wasn't even that long.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, because the going and coming those was the
travel time. So we was we was in Thailand for
like I know, we were in Thailand for.
Speaker 2: Two days, two days, okay, So we was.
Speaker 4: On the plane one day and a half to something
like that, and then we was there for two days.
Speaker 3: And then we came back, okay, And you came back
because Steve had passed. Yeah, that's what you said. Okay,
So who was the hospital communicating?
Speaker 2: Well, Steve was in the hospital me, so they would
call you and you would answer on the on the plane.
Speaker 4: Well, on the when they when they did reach me,
they said they had been trying to call me, but
Steve was still in the hospital and he was going
into cardiocor rest and.
Speaker 5: He was on the uh what they said they had
them home.
Speaker 4: Just a lot of heavy sedated medications.
Speaker 2: And did they have him on like like were they
assisting him like breathing. Was it like life support? Was
it like I don't know?
Speaker 4: Again, No, he wasn't on life support, but he was intimated. Okay,
he wasn't all life support, but he was intovated.
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe that's what I'm thinking of, right, just the
tube to.
Speaker 5: Help you breathe, yeah, right, yeah, yeah, that's intobated.
Speaker 4: And so the doctor said that he he just told
me basically that his legs was cold, he was about
to go into cardiac arrest because of you know, his
body was his exact words, metabolic isidosis.
Speaker 2: What else he say?
Speaker 4: I can't remember every I can't remember it all right
at this moment, but that's for the gist of it.
Then he called me back like thirty minutes later and
told me that Steve had died.
Speaker 2: Okay, so damn me and my husband.
Speaker 4: We stayed in Thailand that extra day and then we
came because we wasn't able to get another flight back
out until the day that we came back here, you know,
came back.
Speaker 2: In a right.
Speaker 3: So okay, so they're calling you on the phone kind
of keeping you updated what's going on.
Speaker 4: No, they no, they just only called me twice, okay,
And they called twice. They were like no, three times
they called me as we was leaving to tell me
that he, you know, was okay for now on the nineteenth,
I believe.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, okay. So on October nineteenth, that's the day
you guys were leaving in the hospital had called you
and said that he was doing fine, said that he
was doing okay. He was doing okay, yeah, and okay
means he was intubated, but he's comfortable. Okay. Basically he
was comfortable. And that's October nineteenth. Yes, I believe, okay.
Speaker 5: And so when we actually before we were so.
Speaker 2: You leave on the October nineteenth, yeah, okay, but we did.
Speaker 5: We stopped by there to see him.
Speaker 2: You know, I stopped by at the hospital.
Speaker 4: We stopped at the hospital to see him. I basically
just gave him a hug and a kiss. I was like,
I love you, you know, stuff like that. My husband
same thing, because he had just shaved them the day before,
and he was like, all right, you gotta, you know,
just to just have a normal conversation, trying to make
it as normal as possible, because that's what they tad
you do anyway. But you know, he was just like, oh,
you know, gotta hurry up and make it through this
because I gotta shave you again.
Speaker 2: Okay. And you're sure that was on the nineteenth and
you came back the twenty third or twenty fourth.
Speaker 5: Yeah, about the twenty third of the twenty fourth.
Speaker 4: But I can look well, I don't have my phone,
but I can look at the itinerary okay.
Speaker 2: And how did you end up booking that trip? I didn't.
My husband booked it, Okay. Was it through like Expedia?

like book at yourself?
Speaker 4: Or I don't know he got Yeah, I didn't he
did that. I wasn't there, Okay, all.
Speaker 2: Right, no worries. I'm just curious. Okay. So basically the
three times, when was the third time that you talked
to the hospital.
Speaker 4: When they caught me back and told me thirty minutes
later that Steve.
Speaker 2: Passed thirty minutes later on what day?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Was it like the day after he was in the
hospital or two days after? Was it? I mean it
was like it was like it was all you were gone, correct, Yeah,
it was like a day. So you guys leave the
nineteenth and then you say.
Speaker 4: The day we left the day we left, We got
on a plane. We was on the plane for eleven hours,
ten hours, and then we got to Turkey. They called
us and told us that they have been trying to
reach me and that Steve was going into cardiac arrest.
He was still intubated for now. They're keeping them comfortable,
but he's not gonna make it.
Speaker 2: Okay, And I.
Speaker 4: Said, okay, she said, I said, car make sure you
keep me updated. I said, because we can't, they'd have
already sent our lovers. Said, we're gonna have to go,
and then once we get there, we can rebook our
flight and come.
Speaker 2: Back, okay, cause we were in Turkey. Okay.

doctor car back thirty minutes later approximately.
Speaker 2: And you're on a layover in Turkey at this time,
we're on a layover in Turkey. Okay.
Speaker 5: Then he called me back to tell me that Steve
had passed.
Speaker 4: I actually was crying, so I didn't finish the conversation.
Speaker 5: My husband said, told the.
Speaker 4: Doctor that give me a minute and I'll fall him
back once I got calmed out.
Speaker 2: Okay. So at any point in time did you instruct
then the the doctors or nurses or anybody. Did you
instruct them to take Steve off of life support or no?
Speaker 4: They never asked about taking them off life support.
Speaker 2: Okay, So they never asked you, like what.
Speaker 5: You know because he wasn't one life He wasn't one life.
Speaker 2: Support, okay.
Speaker 5: He was only intibated.
Speaker 2: So he died while intubated. That I know of.
Speaker 6: I don't know.

Speaker 5: I mean, we talked to Jill.
Speaker 4: We just kept we just kept calling Jill, checking on her,
making sure she was okay. And then I got sick then.
I don't know, maybe because I was stressed. I don't know,

Speaker 4: He was like I just you know, he just was
kind of mumbling jimp fasion card jump Fasian. So I
was like, I don't I don't even have his number, Okay,

lawyers in the NRB on the internet and.
Speaker 2: I found his number. So you called Jim Fasion. I
called Jim Faige, okay? And what did you say?
Speaker 4: And I told Jim Fasi and I said, from here,
I don't know what to do because this is not what.
Speaker 2: I know to do. And when was that that? You
do you remember what day it was that you called Jim?
Speaker 4: I called him quite a I called him probably about
four days straight, because he didn't he didn't respond because
he said he was out of towner.
Speaker 2: So would that be he caught me back? So you
get back on the twenty third or twenty fourth, So
you're saying you probably didn't talk to him until the
end of the month, almost.
Speaker 5: Probably within.
Speaker 2: Was it within?
Speaker 5: Me say, because he called me back. That's how he
called me back.
Speaker 3: So he calls you back after about three or four days,
because you couldn't get a hold of after about three Okay,
So then what what's the conversation with Jim At that point?
Speaker 4: I basically told him what happened with Steve. I told
him what Steve said. I told him the information is
he gave me and and.
Speaker 5: That was the will and trust.
Speaker 4: That was the the not theorized power of attorney.
Speaker 5: I sent that to him.
Speaker 4: I sent the trust, I mean the copy of the trust,
and I sent the What else did I send him?
I think that was it? Okay, I think that. I
think that might have been it. We did conversate then.
I was trying to call people, but they couldn't hear me.
Speaker 2: So what were you asking Jim Fajian for. What was
he going to be able to do for you?
Speaker 4: Well, Steve said that was who was going to take
care of him when he passed.
Speaker 2: Okay, now that was I was before that day.
Speaker 5: We're talking about previously, prior to.
Speaker 4: Prior to Yeah, all right, like he would be like,
if something happened to me, make sure you got jump.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. So Jim Fasian is pretty much no
help at this point, is what you're saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean no help as far as helping me
to get him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, no, he was trying to locate people.
Speaker 2: Okay, his brother Okay, Steve brother.
Speaker 5: Okay, because Steve haveyper brother.
Speaker 2: So we're talking October twenty eight, it like twenty eighth ish.
If you got back on the twenty third or twenty fourth,
calling him before I got home. So you were calling
him from Turkey or Tayland.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was calling from Turkey, not not tiling
from Turkey.
Speaker 5: So I was looking him up.
Speaker 4: And then when I you know, I was calling different people, okay, because.
Speaker 5: I was trying to reach them, and because.
Speaker 4: That's what Steve said was gonna take care of He
was like, that's what's gonna take That is my longtime friend.
Speaker 2: He's a lawyer, and this is what. So you talked
to Jim Fajean and you tell him what Steve wanted
to do.
Speaker 4: I told him what Steve said.
Speaker 2: He was like, and what did Steve say that.
Speaker 4: If something happened to him, make sure I contact Jim
Fajian because he's going to take care of it.

Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: He said, the rest is going to go to jail.
Speaker 2: And how much was that?
Speaker 5: I don't well, deduct the two fifty.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking if he only has six something to seven,
then whatever's leftover.
Speaker 2: Okay, and that goes to jail, right, and that will
go to jail, all right?
Speaker 5: He said to call Jim. Jim the house was supposed
to go.
Speaker 2: To me to you, yes, okay.
Speaker 4: Jim Fasian has a recording with him on there, and
he also, I don't know what else he did, so, uh,
I'm also listed on the association. I guess when Steve
did all the paperwork, he put me down ins the
call owner.
Speaker 2: When he called, uh.
Speaker 4: The insurance state farm they called me and was like, well,
Steve gave us your numb.
Speaker 5: This was a h M maybe like back in Jane July.
Speaker 4: Join okay, yeah, And I was like, no, I don't
know nothing. I don't know nothing about it. I said,
but I'll, you know, talk to him.
Speaker 2: And we'll go over it.
Speaker 4: So it was like either Jil maybe not July, maybe
August okay, But I never followed through with it, like
as far as talking to.
Speaker 2: The person at Steve far that state farm.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, but my name is definitely listed and for
the association.
Speaker 2: For the association. Okay, what does that? What does that mean?

Speaker 2: Okay, So what is your name's listed on there? As
well as the co owner? Okay? What were you doing
with the asso? Were you paying the association dues? Or no?
Speaker 4: I didn't even know who associations?
Speaker 3: People weren't Okay, all right, So the house he wants
to get, she just happened to call me.
Speaker 2: He wants to give you the house, is what you said? Yes? Okay?
Is that on any paperwork anywhere? Yes? What paperwork is
that on? Well, let's it would be at the house.
But what is it?
Speaker 4: It's just the notarize for his daughter and for me
in jail, like a will?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what about like the I don't know what
is it for a house title? Or what is it
called the owner of the house? Like is there a
piece of paper that says you own the house? Is there?
Like you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Other than the other than the will? No, I don't,
I don't know. I don't know what that would be.
Speaker 2: So there's a will or a trust.
Speaker 5: He had a will and a trust.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you're saying you're listed as the person who's
getting the house. Yes, on a piece of paper.
Speaker 5: No, you stay typed it. He typed everything up. He
was very meticulous.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: And then he also contacted Jim Pagan prior. Okay, this
is like I'm trying to make this all come together.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just curious because if he gave you the house,
did he give you the house before he passed?
Speaker 4: No? I didn't say he gave me the house. He
said he wanted me to have the house if something happens.
Speaker 2: That would be ownership of the house. Is that correct?
So when you own something, what do you need with
to own something? Like if you own your car, what
do you get with a owning a car? A title? Right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I get a title? Okay, So when you own a house,
do you do a deed? Do you do like, did
he do any kind of like quit claim deeds or
anything like that to you to give you the house?
I believe that's what that paperwork was, a quick claim deed?
Do you know what that is? Not? Really? But okay,
So you're saying he did a quick claim deed to
you for the house.
Speaker 5: So I don't know I'm agreeing because I don't know what.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to agree. If you don't, I'm not.
Speaker 5: Going to agree.
Speaker 4: So what I'm saying is he does have some paperwork
is at the house, so they're they're a nation's dead.
Speaker 5: Did okay.
Speaker 2: Like that? Yeah? Okay? And that's it. No, it was
a it was a notarized letter. Yeah, this is notarized
right here? You said, this is it? Yeah? This is
the this yeah? Yeah, okay, this is the quick claim
deed that you're talking about that he gave you the house. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I didn't say it was quick claim d because I know.
Speaker 2: What it was. Okay, but you recognize this as being
the same piece of paperwork that you signed them? Yeah? Correct? Right?
Isn't that your signature right there? Yes? Okay, So this
is a document you signed that would give you possession
of that house. Is that correct? Okay? All right, okay,
So that's so he gave that to you on the
fourteenth of October. I guess do you want to read it?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah? Okay? And who took this to the Register
of deeds, was that you? Yes, okay, so you took
it to the Anthony Foorlini's Register of Deeds office and
turned this in. I don't know who Anthony is. He's
the McComb County Register of Deeds, he's clerk. Yeah. So
you took this to the Register of the Deeds. Yes,
on October fourteenth? No, No, okay, I'm sorry, Oh November one?
I don't know. Do you can you tell? What? What
do you remember what day you took it?
Speaker 5: If it's all here? The twenty I mean no, I
meant the twenty four?
Speaker 2: Is that not?
Speaker 5: I didn't know twenty four?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think there's November the twenty fourth. That
doesn't even happened yet.
Speaker 5: No that' oh no, I think that's the one right there?
Speaker 2: Is that A one? Okay? All right? But this is
a copy of the same document, all right? So he
wanted you to give that, and that's written down somewhere.
You said, Also, and what does that paperwork look like? Oh?
Speaker 5: Well, I can't I it's just tight. It's ted with
his signature.
Speaker 2: Was it a separate will? Was it a separate trust?
Was it a power of attorney? Paperwork? Like? Whoa any idea.
Speaker 5: No, the power of attorney was separate.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is a different document.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just a type document with his signature on
it and my signature and that's it.
Speaker 2: So like on the Steve for instance, obviously it's notarized,
so this would have been Steven. Kendra the notary was
present for this on the fourteenth of October. Yeah, say fourteenth? Okay,
whose signature is that? You know who that is? Who
is there with you? Because I see Kendra, I see you,
I see Steven. Any idea who that is? Isn't that Steve?
I thought that who's this over here? This one here?
Who's that? I thought that was Steve? Oh no, I wasn't.
You don't remember people, Yeah, you don't remember who was there?
So it was yous, No, it wasn't. But three people there,
So Kendra, Steve, you and this guy Steven who notarizes us,
this guy been down here, Stephen McClean because it's notorized. Yeah, okay,
so those were the people present when this document was signed.
All right, And you don't remember Kendra's phone number? Okay,
all right, not by heart anyway. Okay, So he gives
you the house, so do you tell Jim Fasion that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, but imagine how's the recording with him when
you know he called him and told him.
Speaker 2: That Stephen called him and told him that, Okay, and
when when I don't know the exact date.
Speaker 4: I don't know that.
Speaker 8: That was just a conversation that we had then, okay, okay,
So what happens after that?
Speaker 2: So let's get back to Steven's EMBALMD right, and you're
trying to figure out what to do with Steven. At
that time, you had called Jim Pageen. Ye, I called him,
and then who talked Dennis? Dennis? Who do who is that?
Speaker 5: That's the just Steve job, Steve's job, Steve's job.
Speaker 2: Okay, So you talked to him and he says, what, Oh, no,
I was just letting him know that Steve died.
Speaker 3: Did any conversation come up with him about any arrangements
or anything like that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean he just wanted to know what they were.
Speaker 5: I said, I don't know what they are yet.
Speaker 2: And then after that, who do you contact after that? Micky? Micky? Okay,
do you know when that was? Approximately? No? Okay, No,

the next day whenever they whenever day. She called me
the next day or two days later. So Steve, I
got the number from.
Speaker 2: The Dominds.
Speaker 5: So Steve phone the old phone. He cracked at her something.
Speaker 4: So when he my husband took him to go get
a new phone, they couldn't transfer the old information to
the new phone. But you couldn't get the old information off.
Speaker 2: The old phone, okay, if that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Okay, So I had to like search for numbers and
try to find people, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, where Steve's phone out? Where it was in
my car? It's in your car? Yeah, okay? Is it
still in your car?
Speaker 5: I don't think so, because they took all myself out
of the car.
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, So you were trying to find people's
numbers because Steve didn't have him in his new phone. Okay,
So he had nothing in the new phone, so you
ended up calling How did so you called Kathleen?

Speaker 2: She I think she asked them to pay the bills, Okay,
And how much money did she ask for? You know,
not that I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't think she asked for no particular amount of money.
Speaker 2: Okay. At some point did you talk to Arthur, Steven's brother.
I talked to Arthur when I forgot, I talked to him. Uh,
you forget get a lot of stuff, you know, you
know how much I've been through.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure, but I'm very like sometimes I'm just
like sitting here thinking to myself, you're telling me you're
this nurse right, which which I hold nurses in very
high regard.
Speaker 2: But you don't, Okay, all right, So but that that
was when did he go into henry Ford again?
Speaker 5: He went into henry Ford in August?
Speaker 2: Was he admitted in henry Ford?
Speaker 5: He was admitted into henry Ford for two day three days.
Speaker 2: I think it was three days, two or three two
or three And that's the one right here over here
in nineteen mile in Guardfield. Okay, but you think that
was August. I believe that was August. So he didn't
go to the hospital September or October. Other than the McLaren.
Speaker 5: He went a couple of times. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: He went up.
Speaker 3: That's not what you're saying, cause you said the last
time he went was August. Besides this last time he
went and died there. So you tell me you're the
nurse he went to.
Speaker 4: Let me see he went to henry Ford. Did he
go twice to Henryford and wants to McLaren, I wants
here beford. I think he went once to Henryford, which
I think was believe was in August, and so he.
Speaker 5: Would've went to McLaren.
Speaker 4: Twice once for or fall. No, wait a minute, it
may have been September, not August. The ambulance came, but
they didn't take 'em. He wouldn't go, kay, So they came.
They came out quite a few times though, cause he
was falling outside.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, but you don't remember what exact dates.
Speaker 5: I can't remember the exact days.
Speaker 2: Cause he I But you know for sure, though, when
we talk about exact dates, you know for sure though
you left to go to Thailand on August or October nineteenth. Yeah,
I was act and that's for sure. You know that
a hundred percent. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know a hundred percent that that power
of attorney you were talking about that was signed on
that same day he went to.
Speaker 2: The hospital for the strat yep, that I can remember yet, Okay,
and you know that a hundred percent to be true.
Speaker 5: That I'm thinking, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the same day he signs that paperwork, a
few hours later he has a stroke. Is that correct? Yeah?
Now that was the same day, and that's yeah, you're
saying that's the same day. Now you're saying that's that's
on the nineteenth, right, yeah, nineteen, And you're sure that's
the nineteenth. The same day you left.
Speaker 4: Well, if I have my phone, I can kind of
go in there and look, but I can't, So I
just I can't. I can't give prominent dates, and I
can't even look to see what I'm doing.
Speaker 2: Okay, But but you do remember prominent times like that
something takes place. So if Steve gets transported to the hospital,
that would be a for a stroke, right when you
had to do CPR and stuff on him. Right, Yeah,
that's a memorable that's a memorable day. Well because you
didn't do.
Speaker 5: But it was a very emotional day.
Speaker 2: Let me let me ask this, do you how many
times did you do CPR and Stephen once one time?
Right that same day he went to the hospital? Is
that correct? Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, that is the same day. You're one hundred percent
sure that he signed that paperwork? Yes, yes, yes, all right, okay,
that's what Okay, So that to you, that would be
a memorable memorable day of a series of events that
took place that day. Because you don't do CPR in
somebody every day.
Speaker 5: No, you don't do CPR.
Speaker 2: But then here's the thing. When you're doing CPR.
Speaker 4: When you're doing CPR, you got adrenaline, RUSS, You move
in and you're just moving fast.
Speaker 5: Sure, but you would remember that's the.
Speaker 2: Same day that you know here he is, he signs
his paperwork and then a couple hours later.
Speaker 5: Are you trying to say I killed him? No, that's
not what I'm saying, That's what because that's what I
feel like.
Speaker 2: I feel like, No, No, I'm just I'm just trying
to get because you're you can't remember anything, which is
which is crazy to me that you're this you're this
nurse and you're you're an educated person and you can't
remember jack about your patients.
Speaker 4: What I remember about my days, days of things?
Speaker 5: Am I going to be remembering dates?
Speaker 2: Well? I don't know. It's not every day that you
do CPR on somebody. Yeah, but what did I said?
I did the CPR? Okay, so you said the same day? Actually,
you know what I got? Because is this what we're
talking about right here? This power of attorney right here?
It was another page. I think, yeah, this is this
is the pay Okay. So he signed that the same
day he went to the hospital. Yes, okay, and he
was present when this document was signed.
Speaker 6: That's correct, right, Yeah, say the nineteenth on here, right.
Speaker 2: So the same day he was taken to the hospitals
when he signed this. And you said he was present
for this signature?
Speaker 3: Yes, and which which signature, just because it's hard to
make up which signatures is his?
Speaker 5: Well, that's, say Steve, So that's.
Speaker 2: His signature, and that one is maybe somebody else. I
would assume maybe Jill. I don't know that wasn't there.
Speaker 5: I don't know what'd that say, but I know that,
say Steve.
Speaker 2: Okay. But but you were there when this document was signed.
Is that correct? I was there when the document was signed. Okay.
And this notary, you said, Steve contacted the notary, this
lady here.
Speaker 5: No, Steve didn't contact her. Steve contacted the other notary.
Speaker 2: Okay. So who contacted this notary?
Speaker 4: Who was this?
Speaker 2: It would be me? Okay, so you contacted her? Yeah, okay,
So she came to the house, and you said that
Jill was there, Steve was there, Kendraw was there, and
you couldn't remember who the other person was.
Speaker 5: He said Larry, right, No, I said, no, I don't
say Larry.
Speaker 2: I thought you said Larry. I've talked.
Speaker 5: I talked about Larry was being an employee.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, when we were at the house. I
was saying, who the people was at the house.
Speaker 3: Who's Antoine Winter's that's my husband. Okay, so you'd remember
if he was there?
Speaker 2: Is that correct?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Not really good? Oh, you wouldn't remember if your husband
was there. All right, let's cut to the chase here,
All right, let's cut to the Yeah, let's let's cut
to the chase.
Speaker 3: You are lying so badly it's it's almost hard to
even like contain myself. You are so full of crap,
it's not even funny this and this is what I'm
gonna say, Linda. People make bad decisions sometimes, and I've
been in the room with a lot of really.
Speaker 2: Bad people, and I think that I don't think you're
a bad person.
Speaker 3: I think you're somebody who made a bad choice and
a couple of bad choices.
Speaker 2: Okay, m hm. So I will tell you this right now.
This document right here is fraudulent, and you know from
from where I want to go through it, I'd be
happy to go through it with you. See this document
right here that you filed at the County Clerk's office
at the Register of Deeds. You filed this, you said
that's your signature, You said that this notary public was there. Okay,
all of that on a second. Let me let me know,
let me just explain to you. This person has to
be there when all these people signed and they put
this stamp right, you altered the stamp. You didn't even you.
Speaker 3: Didn't even spell this correctly. This guy's commission has been
inspired since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: Okay, this document right here fake fraud.
Speaker 5: That's not what he told me.
Speaker 2: No, that is totally this is you right here. This
is a fraudulent document. You turned it.
Speaker 5: I did sign this, Yeah, that's correct.
Speaker 3: You signed it and you turned it into the Register
of deeds on November first, which is how many days
after Steve died.
Speaker 2: So here's what really happened. Here's what really happened, Linda,
is you.
Speaker 3: Took advantage of a situation. And I don't know, I
don't walk in your shoes. Maybe you have some financial issues,
maybe you need some money for something. No, but you
were taking advantage of these people. You tried to get
their house. You tried to put it up for sale.
Speaker 2: You tried to put this house for sale that you
filled out and filed a fraudulent document for you tried
to put it up for sale. I did, yeah, in
the last couple days, three weeks, but within the last
two weeks trying to put it on When you filed
this fraudulent piece of crap form right here that you made,
that's what happened. I got you on camera walking in there,
got you on camera filing this. That's a fake. That's
a fake notary And guess what, they're not called notary republics,
They're called notary public You said I altered, you altered
this document. It's a fraudulent document that you altered it,
you forged it, you made it. Either way, it's a fraud. No,
I didn't. It gives to the die. Okay, I already
looked them up, already found them. You know how hard
it is to find those people.
Speaker 5: It's not listen, I know that.
Speaker 2: So let's get into another one. Then let's talk about
this document, since we're.
Speaker 3: Going to talk about documents and being fraud Okay, this
document right here you're lying about.
Speaker 2: You've already looked at this document. Are you really that
ignorant that you don't know what this document? You got
new glasses now, man, you're full of excuses. This is hilarious.
This document right here. You said, you said, hey, yeah,
he was there. Stephen was there. She came and notarized it. Yeah,
I don't remember who was there, but it's Antoine Winners.
Who's your husband? Who you would remember? Kendra seems to
be showing up in a lot of these this signature
up here. Who the heck is that? Joe can't even
hold a pen? Whose signature is that right there?
Speaker 4: Do you care?
Speaker 2: Whose signature is that right there? You're saying Steve's because
you say Steve was there. Guess what? Steve was on
life support when this document was signed? Lie support. Yes
he was.
Speaker 3: And you know who told and you know who told
the doctors at the hospital to make him comfortable because
there was nothing else they could do.
Speaker 5: It was you, because it was nothing else they could do. Okay, No,
I'm saying you said because it was nothing else they
could do.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, they told me Steve was going right, I said,
you said, make him comfortable, take them off life support.
Speaker 5: I didn't tell him to take him off life support.
Speaker 2: Aren't you a nurse?
Speaker 5: Yes, I didn't tell him to take him off no
life support.
Speaker 2: So all these doctors are lying. All what doctors do
you do? You understand English. Like, I'm really having a
hard time here because I'm asking you a question. Doctors,
what doctors do you think? I talk to one doctor?
You talk to one doctor? How many times I talked
to the doctor three times? Okay? What's the doctor's name?
I don't remember his name? Okay, you know what?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Why because you're lying?
Speaker 5: I told you he was at MacLaren.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know in the medical records at McLaren say
that they spoke to you. I said, and that you
and that you said that you were the niece, you
had power of attorney, and that to make him comfortable
because he needs comfort care. There's nothing else they could
do for him.
Speaker 6: That's not true.
Speaker 2: That's not true because my doctors.
Speaker 5: Lie about that because they're doctors.
Speaker 2: But your line, so I would sit here and go, well,
you're already caught in a lie. You're calling.
Speaker 4: I just told you when you asked me, when you
asked me, I told you, I said, let me please,
let me say this.
Speaker 5: When you asked me, you said you asked me about
the doctor.
Speaker 4: I said, they called me when I was in Turk,
when we got to Turkey, say they was trying to
reach me because Steve was going and he was going
to have a heart attack and they were keeping him comfortable,
and I said, oh, hey, call me with an update.
They called me back thirty minutes later and said that
he was gone. Yeah, he had a female He had
a female nurse that day and he had it.
Speaker 5: It was only one male doe.
Speaker 2: So you definitely got caught off gerd today. And I'll
give you that. But here's the thing is, your story's
so outstretched and it's got so many holes in it.
You already committed fraud right here. So to me, this
is already like whatever. But I think I think I
just need to bottom line you right here. Is that
you don't seem like an evil person. I'm not an
evil person, but I think you I think you were bad.
Speaker 5: Ever take advantage of her?
Speaker 2: I love her? Okay, well it kind of looks like
you're taking advantage of her.
Speaker 5: Oh I asked her to let me take her everything.
I take care of myself on my own.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, if you call, if you call, if you was,
I'm just saying, there is people that you just saw.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're just kind of, you know, digging that hole.
But I did say it. I said it the time
for you.
Speaker 3: Here's the time for you to tell the truth. Now's
the time for you to tell the truth, because guess what.
Guess what, it's You're the only one that can can
write your path because the path you were going down
is not a good one.
Speaker 2: You're caught. You're caught. You you know it. I know it.
You are caught. Okay, you I.
Speaker 5: Don't remember, but I don't. I can't remember everything.
Speaker 2: I've been doing this for a long time.
Speaker 3: I've sat here and interviewed a lot of people, and
I just know when people lie to me, I get
I get lied to constantly. Okay, And what what you
don't understand, what what you don't understand is that you
know what's what's your what's your son's name? Did you
say you had a son or daughter?
Speaker 2: I have a son. You have a son. What's your
son's name? Jeremy? So when Jeremy little, and this is
just kind of like a for instance, right, So if
Jeremy was little and you were in the other room
and you hear your favorite bowl or vase or something
like that fall in the ground and break, and you
walk around the corner and it's just it's just Jeremy
standing there and you're like, hey, what happened to my vase?
And he's like, I don't know. I don't know what
happened to that vase. I have no idea. I don't know.
I don't remember. I don't remember like where I was
standing or anything when that vase broke. I don't really know.
Speaker 3: Or you walk over there and you said, hey, Jeremy,
what happened to that? And he says, you know what, Mom,
I made a mistake.
Speaker 2: I was playing with my ball. I knocked your vase over.
I'm really sorry.
Speaker 3: I started to kind of lie to you, but you
know what, I'm just gonna tell you I broke the vase.
Don't you think you'd be a little bit less mad
at Jeremy for tell you the truth? Still mad, the
vase is broken. He's still going to have to get
punishment for that vase being broken and him playing with
his ball inside, But at least you would kind of know, right, Like,
I'm glad he told me the truth at the end, right,
rather than ride this, because if you would have been
riding that lieout, you'd have been more mad, Is that correct?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I have kids, same thing for me with you. The situation,
this situation, this situation is no different. This situation is
no different. And if you want to keep telling these lies,
then it's just going to go down that road of
this is going to go to a.
Speaker 2: Prosecutor, it's going to go to a judge, and somebody's
going to be making decisions about you. What's going to
happen to you for the rest of your life? Do
you really want to ride this lie through there? Or
do you do all of that? You didn't do it?
Speaker 5: No, I when you asked me about the register, I
told you I took it down there, that's correct.
Speaker 2: And you said you signed this document. You said Steve
was present and this notary was present, and guess what,
none of them were.
Speaker 5: So that notary said he wasn't there.
Speaker 2: This is fake?
Speaker 5: How do I know he was fake?
Speaker 2: Wow? Okay, so you're saying Steve set up a fake notary.
Listen this, but you're turned us in the stamp right
here says I turned ten fourteen, right October fourteenth, twenty
twenty four here right, listen to me, because I'm gonna
say the same thing. But I do need you to
hear me.
Speaker 5: I don't know who this is this was a registry
of notary who came to the house. I don't know
this person, but he.
Speaker 2: Came to the house, okay on October fourteenth. Yes, okay,
what if I told you? That's a complete lie? How
because he came, that's a complete lie? Oh my god? Well,
who was he? You tell me?
Speaker 3: Was he an imaginary friend? Was he just somebody that
didn't exist? You're caught, Please, Linda, you're really going to
ride this out. You're You're totally this out.
Speaker 2: This guy came to the house. That's fine.
Speaker 5: I own everything you asked me.
Speaker 2: I own, but I'm not taking that you own.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the house you're trying to their house.
You were trying to steal their house. Stephen wasn't giving
you that house. Oh my god, Stephen wasn't giving you
that house. And I can't believe you think anybody believes that.
Speaker 2: My god, this is crazy. It is crazy. It's crazy
that you think anybody is going to believe your crap.
You're so fellow? Can you call? I already talked to him.
Speaker 5: Okay, so he didn't tell you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got Jim Phagan, I got everybody you talked to.
Speaker 5: Well, everybody's saying the opposite.
Speaker 2: Of what you're saying. So what are you gonna do?
What you mean, you're trying to get money from Merrill Lynch.
You're trying to get them to send money. You went
over to the funeral home, you had him cremated. That's
not what Jewish people do. That's what Jill said she wanted.
Speaker 3: She talked to She talked to his Jill, who's not
even able to sign a document like this power of attorney.
And I guarantee you when I start peeling the layers
back further and further, you're gonna be There's gonna be
a lot of money being transferred and different things like that.
Speaker 2: But what I really want to know is money. You
didn't how come you didn't tell the family that Stephen died.
Speaker 5: I couldn't talk. I called I when I felt when
I felt like I could.
Speaker 2: Talk, I did.

third or twenty fourth, you're not sure you're sick. You
lost your voice at that time.
Speaker 5: I'm still recovering now.

Is that correct? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I talk I talked to the the doctor before I
got sick. I got sick the day we went back.
I'm I mean, well I went back, but we we

I couldn't it was just I was sick.
Speaker 2: My eyes was running.
Speaker 4: The next morning we left out, I didn't have a
voice that day. I didn't have voys for about three
or four days. We took a EL I think eleven
a L eleven or ten and a half hour flight
back to Michigan, Okay, from Turkey, right, yeah, because it
was from install instable Turkey, So Turkey went from.
Speaker 2: It's more of like a fourteen hour flight really trying
to think the last time I was over there, Yeah,
something like that. I probably it might be right.
Speaker 5: I mean because I slept, because I took some second.
Speaker 2: Details are very fuzzy at times. I get that. Well, no,
it's not so much that it's fuzzy, but I have been. Yeah.
So you talked to the doctors, though, And you're saying
that you talked to the the doctors and you would
call Jill on Paulette's phone, and Jill would make these
decisions even though Jill signed over a power of attorney
to Steven that you were witnessed to months ago. Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: If you're taking it, I mean, we we both know.
We both know that Jill wasn't right of mind. We
both know that, and you cannot deny that because you're
a nurse.
Speaker 5: Did you talk to her, Yes, and she ain't riding
in her riding mind.
Speaker 2: No. And if you're sitting here telling me you didn't
know that, you're so full of it.
Speaker 5: When I said, when you're completely full of it, j
has metal body.
Speaker 3: Let me get to the best part this document right
here that you claim that Stephen was present for when
he signed it.
Speaker 2: He wasn't. No, he wasn't. Okay, thank you, But why liar.
Look but this one, liar, this one, that one, whoever
it is is, he did come to No, no, you
fake this. This is fraud all day long. This you're
getting you're getting charged with that one.
Speaker 5: Listen, this person came to that, this person.
Speaker 2: Right here made up that document. No, I did not.
I don't even know what you get the document because
you didn't even you didn't even you didn't figure this out, right,
Audia Wayne, State of Michigan, City of Detroit, Stephen didn't
do this document. Listen. I didn't even read the document. Okay.
So now let's get back to this. You lied to
me about this, yes, yes, yes you did.
Speaker 5: But I didn't lie about this one.
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, this is a lie. This is fraud.
Speaker 5: It wasn't from me though.
Speaker 2: Okay, it was from you. You signed it and you
turned it in and in fact, this stamp up here,
that's what I want to see. That this is the
best part. This stamp right here that you had on
this document. That's not a real stamp. Listen, the Register
of Deeds contacted me and let me know that this
is fraudulent. This is a document you signed and you
turned in. Is that correct? I signed this and you
turned it in, and thank you, But I did not
this parson to the house earlier. Let me just point
something out to you, since I don't pay attention to detail. Earlier,
when I asked you about a notary public, you said
a notary republic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I always call him, I know you do.
Speaker 2: You did right here too, where it says notary republic,
because guess what, it's notary public. That's not even a
that's not even a state because you altered this, forged it.
This ain't no real stamp is talk to? You know
that this ain't no real stan So who did you
talk to? This guy right here? His notary commission expired
in twenty twenty two. You are caught, and I.
Speaker 5: Can do a polygraph.
Speaker 2: I I'd love for you to get on a polygraph.
You know what, it's hilarious. You're gonna fail it so
bad it's not even funny. And all these all these
doctors are lying to at the hospital. They tell me, okay,
you talked one doctor, so that one doctor's.
Speaker 5: Lying lying about what?
Speaker 2: So this is Linda Polk who is next to Ken.
Speaker 5: Next to King.
Speaker 2: You're not a niece and and they document. You realize
they document your conversation, you know, Yeah, okay, so it
was your decision to make Stephen comfortable. Isn't that correct?
Speaker 4: No, they told me Steve was being made comfortable at
this time, and that Steve is he's probably going to
go into a respiratory distress, I mean, not stress, a
heart attack because he's metabolic iscidosis.
Speaker 2: Isn't it true that you instructed them to make him comfortable?
Speaker 4: No, I just I told you from the beginning they
said they were that they are making him comfortable.
Speaker 2: Why are you lying about this about what?
Speaker 5: Why are you lying about this about Steve being comfortable Steve?
Speaker 3: First of all, you've been lying about Steve this whole time,
saying the same day he signed this document, which wasn't
the same day, and he wasn't present for that document.
But then he goes to the hospital, you did CPR
and you saved him.
Speaker 2: He hopped up. Sounds like a really crazy Lifetime movie.
Speaker 4: I didn't say what I say.
Speaker 2: It was okay, you didn't say he hopped up. I said,
so he came to right and then he just kept
saying Jim fageon Jim fageon.
Speaker 5: Oh my, well, where did you get Jim from?
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah, you can't even keep it straight.
Speaker 5: I can't keep what straight?
Speaker 2: You're lies because you're you're lying. So why am I?
Speaker 5: Why did I?
Speaker 2: So let's just get Jim tell you this power of
attorney document right here you already said you lied about.
Is that correct? Or is or is that not correct? No?
I agree with it, Yeah you lied, But this one,
that one you're gonna say no because he was there.
You're gonna do the shaggy defense here, wasn't me. I
got good luck.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna have to take my chance on it,
because yeah.
Speaker 2: Sure this person wait there all day long. We'll take
our chances on it too. No problem. You took a
fraudulent document because you were trying to steal these people's house.
Speaker 5: I wasn't trying to steal anything.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you were. Nobody was gonna ever buy any
of this? Can you tell?
Speaker 3: Oh, Katie, I want to make sure you get Katie
gets her two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and you
know the other two hundred and fifty thousand dollars gonna

Jim Phasian asked me and said he wanted to make
sure that Katie was taken care of.

Speaker 4: No, go ahead, because he said our child, Steve, daughter
of special needs, which he said that Steve called him
on the phone and talked about Katie. The money in
the house. Now you say you talked to him, then
he would be able to tell you that. And if
he don't, I don't know why, because that was the
conversation that they wanted to know about the money, because
he wanted to make sure her daughter was taken care
of it.
Speaker 2: And I told him, yeah, he did.
Speaker 4: He said it was gonna leave her two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. I said, so everything should be said.
I faxed him over.

phone doesn't nobody answers, and she texts Steve's phone and
somebody responds, who is this? She says, Katie, your daughter,
