Shannon says in the past few weeks, their family learned that John, 83,  “Had fallen victim to elder abuse and financial exploitation.”

No details  of the abuse were shared or who the abuser is, only that it was a “caregiver” “His home had been violated, stripped of anything valuable.” The family is working with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and police to get justice, said Shannon.

Shannon’s created a GoFundMe with a goal of $500k. The money will be used for her dad’s care, legal fees, and aftercare, she explained.
