Elderly woman who vanished in 2008 was ‘left to die’ in Maine cabin

[FordLord]

[quote] Sarah Cheiker had lived in the small bungalow in
the Fairfax district for decades, first with her mom and then by
herself.
But one day in 2008 she vanished, and a bulldozer showed up to
demolish her longtime home.
...
Four years later, two FBI agents rolled into the neighborhood and
starting knocking on doors, asking questions and telling residents
that Cheiker had been found alive — abandoned and alone in a
weathered cabin near the coast of Maine.
...
“It was a place I wouldn’t have let my dog live in,” said Lincoln
County Sheriff’s Detective Robert McFetridge.
The cabin’s lone light bulb had burned out, leaving the woman in
darkness. What food there was had spoiled. And though the summer
weather in coastal Maine is typically mild, the day she was
discovered, the temperature had climbed into the 100s, McFetridge
said.
...
The twins, Barbara Davis and Nicholas Davis, and their godson,
Jonathan Stevens, were subsequently arrested on felony charges of
endangering the welfare of a dependent person.
...
Maine authorities have now placed Cheiker in a nursing home in
Fryeburg.

The article is pretty big, heres a bit of a TL;DR;

Woman in Los Angeles goes missing, her house gets bulldozed.
Four years later, FBI finds her abandoned in a Maine cabin.
Turns out, group of people lured her away and basically stole her money to buy a bunch of properties.
Group arrested, elderly woman now recieving care in a nursing home.

Shocked that she's still alive, good on her.

What the actual fuck. I hope the assholes who did this aren't relatives, because that's messed up.

They weren't, they befriended the old lady apparently with this in mind.

It's nice to see a happy ending though.
