A woman in the suburbs stole more than $ 100,000 from grieving families while working for a Glenwood cemetery, said civil servants on Saturday.
Latrecia Marshall-Parris, 48, helped families to plan funerals and buying headstones, which are often paid in cash, according to the Cook County Sheriff office. Marshall-Parris is said to have taken part of the money and deposited the rest into the account of the cemetery.
The cemetery reported the authorities after discovering the scheme in August 2023, said the Sheriff office. Since then she has been fired.
Researchers have established that Marshall-Parris had $ 114,200 in the light of 49 times between April 2022 and August 2023.
The Cook County State law firm accused it on Thursday with two counts of exploiting a continuous financial criminal company, theft of crimes and theft of crime by fraud. She was released on Friday to wait for the process.

Our coverage area has since been expanded to cover Lincoln Park, River North, De Loop, Uptown and other North Side areas.
