Massachusetts State Police arrested two women Friday morning and are searching for a third, who together are allegedly responsible for the neglect and death of an elderly woman.
Authorities said all three women “participated in a scheme to steal from the Medicare program”.
Eva Fontes Cardoso, 53, and Lisa Hamilton, 64, were arrested Friday morning. Police are currently seeking Kayla Cardoso, 31.
“The charges stem from a lengthy investigation by Massachusetts State Police Troopers assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office and Attorney General’s Office into the May 2023 death of 79-year-old Dinora Cardoso in Brockton,” the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Eva Fontes Cardoso and Hamilton are scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Brockton Superior Court.
