Last month, a former Miss Hawaii, Susan Shaw was indicted on 122 different counts ranging from identity and credit card theft to money laundering and forgery. She had stolen the identities of about 11 people and racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraudulent credit card charges. If that wasn't bad enough, now comes word there could be 30 or 40 more victims and she was leading a double life. In Hawaii she was married and had two young kids. In California she had a live in boyfriend. Neither house knew about the other.
This is where it gets really crazy. The boyfriend in Manhattan Beach had no idea that Susan was stealing identities and had no idea there were up to 30 stolen identities found at the house he shared with her. Uh huh.
Meanwhile back in Hawaii, Susan's husband and father to her two toddler children said he could never figure out why she traveled so much, or to where, and how she got the money to travel and to buy all of these designer items. Seriously? Who here wants to believe that?
Your wife disappears to countries all over the world and you never bother to ask why or how? You just say, "have fun." Don't worry about me or the kids. He never asked if she had a job or where the money came from? If his story is true, then how stupid is this guy? If your significant other started doing that how long would it take you to confront them about it? 30 seconds, a minute? This went on for years and years and the guy never asked?
Another candidate for mother of the year.
ReplyDeleteMust not have been much of a marriage if the spouse wasn't suspicious to your whereabouts.
ReplyDeleteBoth the men were in on it. They probably didn't know about each other, but it should have been easy to guess.
ReplyDelete"i swear officer, I have no idea where she was going or where this Rolex came from. or the maseratti. it's in my name? i don't know how that happened either. don't even ask me about solid gold bars in the living room"
ReplyDeleteThe husband at least had to know. How did he see(or not see) a W2 for tax time see the take home pay and not say WTF!?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it heartbreaking that all these pageant girls are getting into trouble? I always thought they were such a shining example of what's right with our society. So disappointing.
ReplyDeleteMiss Hawaii? really?
ReplyDeleteI guess she needed to steal to pay the the boyfriend's rent in MB. 5 years ago my rent in Redondo was $2300 a month and I only had one spot in the bedroom that was literally less than a foot across where I could see water.
ReplyDeleteOh, maybe I should have said that at that time MB was super expensive, then Hermosa was for the cool and finally us scum in Redondo (North to South).

ReplyDeleteSomething smells rotten in... Hawaii and the South Bay.
ReplyDeleteRobert, all three of those beach cities are expensive, Manhattan Beach still being the priciest.
ditto Miss!
ReplyDeletemaybe the husband didin't care as long as the money kept rolling in, he didn't ask questions, i don't think that makes him stupid, just naiive
ReplyDeleteMaybe the husband decided not to care as long as she didn't ask him for money.
ReplyDeleteOh, great. Another reality series about how crime doesn't pay...until you get your own reality series and book deal. Martha Stewart needs to do more time so she can go up in popularity again....gaaaaaah....
ReplyDeletei wonder which identity she's channeling in that photo cause it sure ain't BEAUTY Queen
ReplyDeleteMy cousin was taken by a scammer, and let me tell you, it CAN and DOES happen. They tell you the lies that you can and want to believe. For those of you who think that this couldn't possibly happen to people that are smart, THINK AGAIN. Scammers are experts at what they do, and they live the scam every second of every day.
