Elderly fraud victim amazed and pleased at outpouring of good wishes and offers of help - OregonLive.com: "In February 2008, Roth's health was dire after she was diagnosed with a cancerous growth on her esophagus. But she did not die. Instead, she made a remarkable recovery, only to learn her cousin and niece, who had obtained power of attorney while Roth was ill, had sold her Southeast Portland house of 56 years. Police say they deposited the money into Roth's bank account and then wrote checks to themselves and family. They emptied out her accounts, cashed her annuities and even arranged and prepaid her funeral."
