Part 3: After his mother's death, Charles "Chip" Wallace is faced with a shocking realization: Esmeralda Gomez, the caregiver hired to look after his mother, Joell Fleming, had lied, manipulated, and committed elder abuse and fraud. She exploited a woman in her 80s who was suffering from dementia. Determined to prevent the caregiver from inheriting a fortune, Chip embarks on a thorough investigation, using FOIA requests, advanced cybersleuthing techniques, probate court, and discovery process. He is committed to uncovering the truth about what occurred during his mother's final years. However, the situation becomes complicated when Esmeralda dies—reportedly. But had she?   June is Elder Abuse Awareness month.  This book serves as a warning to everyone about the growing issues of elder abuse and financial exploitation.
