Erica Kaprice Pollard, 37, Colton, California, was arrested at the Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center, where she was employed as a licensed vocational nurse. Pollard used her position to access the confidential medical records of a 72-year old cancer victim. The information was provided to another suspect identified as Gwendolyn Monique Steele, 39, Fontana, California, who applied for a cash out mortgage refinance loan in the amount of $165,000.00, against the victim's property located in the city of San Bernardino, California. Steele has been arrested and charged in this case.

A second suspect arrested at her home in Hesperia, California, by investigators has been identified as Sarah Nicole Dayton, 24. She was charged with conspiracy after she claimed the victim was her grandmother and had given her the property. Dayton appeared before a notary public and signed loan documents to obtain some of the cash out money from the fraudulent mortgage refinance loan. In November 2007, the notary public was identified as Fredericka Louise Wright, 26, Redlands, California. She was charged with and subsequently arrested for conspiracy. Another suspect identified as Lakyia Sharvonte Jackson, 24, San Bernardino, was arrested for conspiracy after it was determined that her cellular telephone was provided to the escrow officer at First American Title Company in Santa Cruz, California. Jackson had claimed to be the victim's daughter.

On Thursday, April 17, 2008, Wright and Jackson pled guilty to the conspiracy as charged and will be formally sentenced on May 22, 2008, in Department S-23 in San Bernardino.
