For three years, WFAA’s deed fraud series has highlighted how easy it is to steal someone’s most valuable asset – and attempts by lawmakers to stop it.
When the deed was filed with the county clerk, it transferred ownership from First Christian Church to Whitney Foster of True Foundation Non-Denominational Church. The individual listed on the deed as granting the transfer is described as the “chairman” of the First Christian Church.
Bitting provided WFAA a copy of a $10 check Foster wrote. The check was dated March 18, 2019. Bitting says Foster put it in the offering plate. The memo line on the check says it’s for a “donation.”
“I cannot imagine the audacity of this gentleman to come and worship with us like he did one Sunday morning before he stole the property,” Bitting said.
