[From article] An elderly Los Angeles woman who neighbors believed had died was found years later in a rundown shack in Maine, where an unrelated family took her after gaining her confidence and selling her house, authorities said. Sarah Cheiker disappeared in 2008 at age 89 and was found in 2012 — alive but unwell in a dingy cabin in the town of Edgecomb, where she apparently had been abandoned, The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday. “It was a place I wouldn’t have let my dog live in,” said Detective Robert McFetridge of the sheriff’s department in rural, coastal Lincoln County, Maine. [. . .] the three randomly knocked on Cheiker’s front door. After they had ingratiated themselves, they left and “purchased numerous properties across the country with her money,” Wright said. “I’ve seen things that were egregious, but I’d never seen a person taken across the country, stripped of their assets and left to die.”
