Two sisters are facing charges after they allegedly used their dying father’s debit card to pay rent, pawn fees, buy food, and order items from Amazon, according to Mount Union police. According to court documents, both Terri Rogers, of Philadelphia, and Doreen Hamlett, of Waldorf, Md. stole more than $3,000 after intercepting their father’s new bank debit card while he was in the hospital in early November 2021. One of the family members called police saying the father was on his death bed and wasn’t coherent to give permission for anyone to use his card. Through the investigation, it was determined that the charges all came after the father was placed in Penn Highlands and then transferred to UMPC Altoona. Bank statements given to police by a family member backed up all the dates and transactions.
