According to the Washington’s Most Wanted Facebook page, Redmond police are looking for a female suspect in an elder-abuse case and are hoping someone can identify her and notify police.

Detectives said the suspect entered a bank branch and claimed to be the victim’s caregiver. She helped the victim take out $2,500 and also assisted him in changing the PIN number on his debit card. There were two fradulent ATM withdrawals for $500 each and then purchases were made at a pharmacy and restaurant. A credit card with a $12,500 limit was opened in the victim’s name and he told his family his wallet was missing shortly after the transactions occurred.

The suspect told the teller her name was “Shanita,” but police don’t know if that’s true. She was described as black, 5-foot-3, 180 pounds with a green jacket, gold necklace, black blouse and head scarf. The suspect may be associated with a small white car, possibly a coupe.

The victim has dementia and is incapable of making financial decisions, and it is believed he met her somewhere between Redmond and the Canadian border. He could only recall giving her (what he estimated to be) $400 for car repairs she told him she needed. She may have a female associate/accomplice whom the victim saw once. The associate was introduced as her “daughter,” but according to the victim, she was a tall, black woman in her 30s-40s with no family resemblance.

If anyone knows who the woman is, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-tips. All calls are anonymous and there is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to her arrest.
