Summary

An elderly couple get a knock at the door, they're told they are no longer fit to care for themselves and are now under the supervision of a legal guardian. Someone who know had control of all of their assets, and the worst part is, they were not the only victims of a woman named April Parks. A 53-year-old former court-appointed financial guardian who admitted to stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from people assigned to her care, in fact, they were only two out of the hundreds of victims, in what is known as Nevada’s largest elder exploitation case.
