Total Weirdness at the Nursing Home
Posted by admin on August 13, 2008 · 5 Comments
In Beaverton, Oregon, a woman who may have been an identity thief was caught doing the strangest thing.
Here’s what went down:
Some unknown woman snuck into a nursing home and spent at least three evenings visiting with a resident there. She convinced the woman and everyone else that she was the woman’s granddaughter.
So the woman who was the nursing home resident told her son about her new visitor/granddaughter. The son then decided to hang out at the nursing home to try to find out who the mystery visitor was.
Are you following this? It is so weird that it is hard to explain.
Sure enough, the mystery woman showed up while he was there and was wearing scrubs. She walked into the room and said “Hi Grandma!”
The son asked her who she was and she explained that she worked at the nursing home and was there to give “Grandma” a massage. When she was asked where her nametag was she said she didn’t have one and bolted.
Nothing seems to have been stolen from the nursing home and no one knows who the woman was or what she was doing there. Police have a theory that she may have been attempting to steal the nursing home resident’s identity.
The mystery nursing home visitor was caught on a surveillance camera and police hope to find and speak with her.
What a crazy story. Maybe she was trying to get into the will? Seems like her name would have to come up at some point, though, if that was the plan.
I’m really curious to see a follow-up on this if they find her.
Liz: I kinda thought about that too. Maybe she was trying to manipulate the woman into giving her everything, rather than stealing an identity. The source didn’t mention if grandma was loaded. I think that would be an important clue.
What a wack job and that is horrible what she was doing to that little old lady!
that is so strange!
if i was the son i would be so freaked out!

That reminds me of something that happened in the hospital I work at. A person walked into a room when a patient was dying, and so I shut the door. Well, it turns out that people have seen that man there before, and no one knows who he is. Stuff like that happens, and it is weird.
