It was an extremely emotional hearing, with both Isenberg’s daughter and stepson testifying against her.
Lori Isenberg is already in prison. She was convicted of embezzling money from the North Idaho nonprofit where she worked. Her husband Larry was found dead in Lake Coeur d’Alene around the same time.
“I was an emotional and physical wreck,” said Isenberg.
An emotional and physical wreck after embezzling more than $500,000 from the North Idaho Housing Coalition.
