Violet Alberts was found dead in her bed at her home in Montecito, California on May 27, 2022. New details of her death were announced by Santa Barbara County Sheriff Paul Brown during a press conference on Thursday.
Alberts' caretaker found her body, noting the "vibrant" member of the community had ingredients laid out on her kitchen table to make cookies for her upcoming birthday. The police found a broken window in her bedroom, which led them to carry out a thorough investigation of the house.
An autopsy showed that Albert's death was due to asphyxiation - when the body doesn't get enough oxygen. It was ruled a homicide according to Brown, who referred to the coroner's report.
Investigators found she was the victim of "a tangled, evil web of financial exploitation." Pauline Macareno, 48, became the key figure in "the manipulation and deceitful targeting" of the "cherished" community member, reports the New York Post.
"Through deceptive means, Macareno orchestrated a series of transactions, including forging documents and establishing fraudulent entities to gain control over Alberts' assets unlawfully," Brown explained.
Macareno allegedly fooled the elderly woman when she offered her a misleading reverse mortgage in 2020, but "ultimately led to the fraudulent acquisition of her property," investigators found. Alberts' two-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home is estimated to be just under $6 million.
The widow's home was located in a wealthy Santa Barbara neighbourhood, known for its famous residents, including Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markel, according to KTLA.
