She wormed her way into his life and managed to get him to sign a power of attorney for access to his bank accounts. She was a "nurse" and moved in to take care of him. Shortly he was hospitalized and we traveled to see him. When we arrived, the "grandaughter" spun 3 contridictory tales to each of us. (Mom, Dad, & me). That night in the motel room we compaired stories and realized something was off. We went to confront her in the morning and she was gone.(less)
