Police: Caregivers fleeced decorated WWII veteran, 95

There is always going to be bottom feeders who prey on elderly people. Being a decorated WWII vet, 95, and getting fleeced is another matter all together. This is a sad story for this vet. If this story doesn't make your heart ache, you have no heart.

Dennis Ferk was past due.
One day in December, a man arrived at the decorated World War II veteran’s home to cut off his gas. Though Ferk, 95, was supposed to have plenty of money from various retirement and military benefits, he was months behind on utility bills.
Friends and Santa Fe Police Department investigators allege caregivers whose job was to help the widower with his finances instead fleeced him of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
