While living with Frank and Katherine, Sylvia performed many
services for them, including grocery shopping, paying bills, and
accompanying them to their doctors’ offices. When her help was
needed, she assisted Katherine in getting out of bed, bathing,
and dressing.
In June or July 1990 Katherine hired Carolyn White (Carolyn)
to perform housekeeping and caregiver duties for Katherine and
Frank. Carolyn’s husband, Jack White, burglarized the Longwood
property in November 1990 and stole a safe which he claimed
contained $200,000 in cash together with jewelry, bank books,
stocks, bonds, and coins. Frank and Katherine reported to the
police the theft of $30,000 in cash and over $100,000 in jewelry.
The police subsequently recovered the jewelry and all but $16,000
of the cash. Jack White was convicted of the theft. Carolyn
pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and was put
on probation for 5 years.
