Ex-OK DHS Worker Skims $2M from LIHEAP | Oklahoma City News

A former Oklahoma DHS worker, Casey Killion-Letran, now faces five felony counts after allegedly embezzling over $2 million from LIHEAP — a program meant to keep low-income families warm and hydrated. Over six years, he orchestrated a brazen scheme using fake utility companies, including one with a UPS Store mailbox, another posing as a rural water district, and even a propane business that funneled nearly $93K into fraudulent accounts. He reportedly forged documents, exploited a deceased client’s funds, and withdrew $100K in one weekend as authorities closed in. The AG’s office is aggressively pursuing recovery, and Killion-Letran’s arraignment is set for August 12 — a stark warning about the fragility of vital assistance programs and the audacity of those who prey on them.
