A registered nurse in Texas is suspected of stealing the life's savings of an 88-year-old nursing home patient.
Police in Decatur, Texas, allege the nurse, suspected in the theft of about $200,000 of the life's savings of the patient, bought horses with some of the money, reports The Dallas Morning News.
The alleged victim's son told the newspaper his mother felt the nurse was taking care of her and couldn't do enough for her.
Police allege the nurse, who befriended the patient at the home, forged checks, stole credit cards and even cashing the victim's insurance policy.
The report said the nurse's alleged actions came to light after the son took over his mother's finances in May.
Police expect to soon arrest the nurse, the Morning News said.
