Alberto Montoya is with Dorothea (1 feb 1988 anni – 29 agos 1988 anni)

Descrizione:

Alberto "Bert" Gonzales Montoya had lived in a detoxification center for five years before he arrived at 1426 F Street in early February 1988. 51-year-old Montoya drank whenever he could obtain alcohol, heard "voices" and would engage in audible conversations with these "voices." Montoya told others that the voices "were sprits from the dead" and that one of the voices was his deceased father who "would tell him to die or to kill himself." He was a very innocent, passive person who generally did not speak unless someone spoke to him. In April 1988, Montoya returned to the detoxication center complaining about his medications. The next day, he willingly returned to 1426 F Street.

In March 1988, an application was filed requesting that defendant be designated Montoya's representative payee. On the application, defendant identified herself as Montoya's "cousin." The request was granted.

On August 6 or August 10, Montoya went to the bar and had a beer and a burrito. Montoya was leaning against a bar stool when he got up and fell to the ground. The bar owner called 1426 F Street, but defendant was not home. He talked to a man at 1426 F Street and told him that Montoya had passed out. Two men came to the bar and carried Montoya back to 1426 F Street. Defendant arrived home a few minutes later and "she seemed pretty concerned with what was going on with Bert." Montoya never returned to the bar. On August 24, a neighbor saw Montoya drinking from a bottle in the neighborhood. Montoya was never seen again. At the end of August, Montoya's roommate saw another man clearing Montoya's clothes out of the closet. Montoya failed to keep a medical appointment on August 29, 1988. Less than a day after Montoya disappeared, defendant told another tenant that she had sent Montoya to Mexico to visit her relatives. She told the same story to several people.

Defendant continued to tell people that she was in contact with Montoya in Mexico, that he was enjoying himself there and that he would be returning shortly. Defendant had been forging Montoya's signature on checks and appropriating his monthly food stamps allotments since February 1988. She also forged his signature on applications for HEAP and RAP benefits and for a Renter's Credit. In November 1988, Montoya's decomposed body was found buried in defendant's yard.
