A shocking case of alleged fraud and forgery has rocked a local estate after an attorney discovered a man had transferred two vehicles from a deceased woman into his own name—without permission!
The administrator of the woman’s estate sounded the alarm after realizing the man had claimed ownership of a 2004 GMC Envoy and a 2006 Toyota Scion, insisting the woman had intended to sign the titles over to him before her passing. But when the attorney dug deeper, red flags started flying!
Suspecting foul play, the attorney contacted the Ohio Secretary of State to verify the notary listed on the car titles, a supposed “Larry G. Bowe.” The shocking result? No such notary exists! The attorney now believes the signatures of both the deceased woman and the alleged notary were forged in a brazen attempt to swipe the vehicles.
CREDIT CARD CHAOS!
But that’s not all—records show the man also racked up charges on the deceased woman’s credit cards to the tune of $663.62 after her death!
According to estate records, the man used the woman’s card to buy gas at Sam’s Club, but there were also mysterious charges totaling $250 at other locations. When confronted, he flat-out denied making the additional purchases. Despite agreeing to reimburse the estate for the gas charges, the attorney says the man has yet to return the money—or the vehicles!
A TWISTED CONNECTION?
Who is this man, and why did he have access to the deceased woman’s belongings? The attorney revealed that he was a close acquaintance of the woman’s late husband, who passed away in 2021. After the husband’s death, he reportedly wormed his way into the widow’s life, frequently “helping” her around the house. But was he truly a friend—or a con artist waiting for the right moment to strike?
Things took a suspicious turn when the woman was hospitalized on October 9, 2024. Witnesses recall the man making cryptic remarks about her not yet signing over the car titles. Just days later, on October 11, she tragically passed away. Within two weeks, the vehicles were magically transferred to his name.
WHERE’S THE WILL?
Shortly after her passing, the man allegedly contacted the estate attorney looking for a written will. But there was just one problem—no such will existed! The attorney confirmed that while the woman had discussed making a will, she never finalized one. That didn’t stop the man from trying to take control!
Shockingly, he even attempted to become the administrator of the estate but failed. Now, multiple heirs of the deceased woman’s estate are raising serious concerns about the mysterious car transfers and potential forgery.
THE FORGERY ALLEGATIONS
The attorney, who has numerous samples of the deceased woman’s handwriting, says the signatures on the car titles don’t match. She describes the woman’s handwriting as having a distinct “shake” due to age or health issues—something completely absent from the signatures in question.
Making matters even more suspicious, the attorney also confirmed that the man had access to the woman’s home, where documents and personal items could have easily been tampered with.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Law enforcement has officially launched an investigation into the matter. Deputies confirmed that a search through official records found no trace of “Larry G. Bowe” in Ohio, West Virginia, or Kentucky—raising serious questions about who really notarized the title transfers!
The estate attorney has voicemails and financial records that allegedly prove the man acknowledged taking the vehicles and using the credit cards, all of which are now part of the official report.
Authorities say the case is now under further investigation, with potential charges of fraud, identity theft, and forgery looming. Will justice be served? Stay tuned as this scandal unfolds!
