  1. The story is crazy. The widow's daughter convinced her to pay millions in psychic help, before stealing over $140 million of her stuff.

    Of course a scum bag varmint defending her (lawyer) claims that that's ok, because she is entitled to 25% of everything as part of her inheritance.

    Good job, police!!

  2. Probably would have helped if that police officer folded the painting first 🤔😒

  3. You see how to cost treated paintings that are worth millions of dollars the way he was just shoving it in his trunk that’s crazy
