The woman who obtained the deed to a multi-million dollar home in Raleigh is now in custody and criminally charged.
Dawn Mangum is accused of obtaining property by false pretense.
She was the focus of a recent ABC11 Troubleshooter investigation where Craig Adams nearly lost his home.
Adams said one day his 8,300-square-foot home was no longer listed in his name. Instead, Mangum had gotten the deed to the home transferred into a trust she managed.
When Mangun previously spoke to ABC11 she said everything was done by law. She said she thought Adams’ property was in foreclosure when she worked to get the deed to the home into her trust. She said once she learned the property was not in foreclosure, she stopped all paperwork on the process.
The deed to a multi-million dollar home in Raleigh was swiped out from under the nose of the home’s owner.
Adams only learned about this switcheroo after the property management company for his HOA asked if he sold his home, because Mangum had contacted the company to get gate access to the private gated community where the house sits.
