Despite Retired St. Louis Teacher’s Death, Daughter Collected $150k In Pension
St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
Feb. 8 ST. LOUIS For more than seven years after the death of a retired St. Louis teacher in 2012, her daughter kept collecting nearly $150,000 in pension benefits, federal charging documents unsealed this month say.
The teacher s daughter, Cheryl Ladner Kimbrough, has been arrested on five felony counts of wire fraud. She appeared in U.S. District Court in St. Louis on Monday.
The indictment says Kimbrough s mother, who is identified only by the initials A.L., retired in 1999 and moved in with Kimbrough in southern Texas. After the death of Kimbrough s mother on Sept. 16, 2012, pension payments continued to be deposited into the joint account she held with Kimbrough.
