Master Don Juan
Donna Marino’s husband just wanted to go into the bank. But his wife insisted it wasn’t a good idea.
Last time, he had caused a scene, she reminded him. Embarrassed that his Alzheimer’s disease would lead to more trouble, he agreed not to go in.
For approximately 20 years, Connecticut police say Marino stole money from her husband, cashing in on his pension checks, workers’ compensation payments and Social Security income. To cover her tracks, she convinced the now-73-year-old man he had Alzheimer’s, according to police reports.
In a news release, police estimated Marino stole a total of $600,000 from her husband, who told investigators he believed the alleged thefts began as early as 1999.
