Maricopa County Sheriff’s detectives in Fountain Hills are investigating a report by a Fountain Hills woman that $100,000 in jewelry had been stolen from her and another $15,000 in credit card debt had been charged to her.

The woman reported to deputies on Tuesday, July 30, that she believes her daughter removed the jewelry from a safe in her home over the past year since the death of her husband.

The woman said since her husband’s death she has not been able to wear any of the jewelry, which he had bought for her over the years. She recently went to the safe to get some of the jewelry to wear and discovered much of it missing.

The woman said she had given her daughter some legal authority for her affairs since her husband’s death including a credit card account for incidentals. That account now had a debt of $15,000.

The woman stated she believes the daughter and her boyfriend have taken advantage of her situation.
