Elder Abuse Investigator Sued Over Husband’s Will

A former Medford, Oregon police detective who specialized in investigating elder abuse has been accused of using her expertise to exploit the dementia of a Portland lawyer before his death last year. 

The daughter of Victor Calzaretta says that she was in line to inherit her father’s estate until Calzaretta married Sue Campbell after only a brief courtship.  In 2011, Calzaretta changed his will to make his wife the executor and sole beneficiary.

The $4 million dollar lawsuit filed on behalf of Diane Miller alleges the detective was familiar with the signs of dementia and married Calzaretta to gain access to his estate.  Campbell denies the allegations.
