Georgia Woman Faces Heat For Allegedly Recording Bogus Land Documents Claiming Ownership To One Vacant Home, Cancelling Mortgage On Another

In DeKalb, County, Georgia, WSB-TV Channel 2 reports:

• A Channel 2 Action News investigation has put a north Georgia woman under the spotlight for allegations that she tried to steal a $1 million Decatur home. The woman now faces a criminal investigation by the DeKalb County District Attorney.
• Channel 2 investigative reporter Jodie Fleischer uncovered paperwork the woman filed, claiming ownership of the home, but the home is actually owned by a bank. [... A] document filed at the DeKalb County courthouse showed a woman named Susan Weidman claimed possession of the house because of its “apparent abandonment.”

• In March, prosecutors indicted twelve people for racketeering after Channel 2 exposed their scheme to steal houses last summer. Records show the same district attorney has now opened a criminal case against Weidman for her actions.
• He said the case could also include her cancelling her own mortgage in Cobb County. The mortgage company has since filed paperwork declaring the cancellation invalid.
