Crystal Not Mentioned

Crystal and the authorities took a closer look when they got the document. As expected, Crystal’s name was not mentioned anywhere on the document. The last name of the person who had rented the home was “Parker” not Taylor. The scammer even planned to collect a security deposit on this home. 

Key To Mystery

The authorities had still doubts about Cherie. On being asked did they ever doubt about the house they were living in, Cherie replied, “It was the second or third day we noticed our keys didn’t turn,” she said. “I’m sorry I had nothing to do with it.”

Lost The Job

Cherie told the authorities that she used to work at the local Dairy Queen but lost her job a few months ago. And from that time she had been living out of her car. The woman had no home but a car in which she used to store most of her things.

What They Say

Dale Mankins, another unauthorized resident said, “I know it reeks.” “It looks bad on us, but with the lease, we got Shanghaied. [Crystal’s] being nice enough to let us get our stuff. We’ll go to another place.” Even after finding out the unauthorized owners, the case was not over. 

Still Angry

Crystal still was infuriated at the audacity of people who rented her place. She requested the authorities to give serious punishment to the culprits. “It should be breaking and entering,” she remarked. “They broke into my home, they crawled underneath the garage, they have vandalized my home.” 

Papers

While cleaning her house, Crystal found something extra-ordinary inside her garage. She found a box of papers that was not there before. It did not take her long to understand that this bundle of papers had something to do with the scam she recently had become a victim of.
