A woman in West Newton Massachusetts has been charged for attempting to steal from her father’s estate. According to Westmorland County detectives Darci Randall attempted to deprive her sister of her rightful share by claiming to be her father’s sole heir. Randall filed to become administrator of her father’s estate and wrote a $245.50 check to cover court costs that later bounced. When office staff tried to track her down for the payments they searched an obituary and discovered the identity of Randall’s sister. “Randall is charged with attempted theft by unlawful taking, tampering with public records, writing bad checks and false swearing.”
