AUSTIN (KXAN) – Austin police said new evidence has changed the direction of an ongoing elderly fraud investigation, ruling out previously identified leads as detectives continue searching for a suspect.
The Austin Police Department on Tuesday said newly obtained surveillance footage shows that a person of interest and a white Mazda SUV previously believed to be connected to the case are not involved.
Detectives are now focusing on a female suspect linked to two elderly fraud cases. Police described the suspect as a white woman in her early 60s to early 70s, weighing about 160 pounds, with short blonde hair, possibly a wig, and wearing glasses. Police shared photos of the suspect which can be found below.
