A Delaware County man, his wife and
his sister-in-law are accused of using a shell company and their local
church to steal over $1 million from more than 100 incapacitated people
they were appointed by a court to take care of.
Gloria
Byars, 58, of Aldan, Pennsylvania, as well as 70-year-old Carolyn
Collins and 59-year-old Keith Collins, both of Ridley Park, are charged
with multiple counts of theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception,
theft by receiving stolen property, theft by failure to make required
disposition of funds and conspiracy.
The
charges come after a lengthy investigation that began in February 2017
when detectives with the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office met
with a newly court-appointed guardian for a 94-year-old person who was
incapacitated and living in a nursing home. A guardian is appointed by
the court to manage life decisions for an incapacitated person.

In all, the three suspects victimized 108 people throughout Philadelphia
and its surrounding counties in Pennsylvania, stealing a total amount
of $1,009,172.01, investigators said.
