This story form the Brisbane Times newspaper highlights the problem of Elder Abuse. As the article points out, the deceased was isolated in his community. It is not clear whether the son actually killed the father for his pension money or whether that was an after thought. But is is nonetheless a disturbing reminder of how Elder Abuse can actually include murder.

A Gold Coast man is expected to face court on Saturday charged with murdering his father for his pension money.

The alleged crime went undetected for 18 months, with police having no idea the 66-year-old was missing until they received a tip-off from the public last month.
It’s believed he was killed in November 2011.

Police arrested the man’s 22-year-old son on the Gold Coast on Friday and charged him with murder.

A 33-year-old man has also been arrested and charged with several offences including stealing from the victim.

He is expected to also face Southport Magistrates Court.

Police were scouring a suspected grave site near Oakey Creek Road at Coomera on the Gold Coast’s northern end on Friday.

Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Austin told reporters it appeared the victim had been stabbed on a houseboat he’d been living on in Coomera in November 2011.

He said the suspects had been using the dead man’s bank account to access his government pension.
‘‘The victim appears to have had few family or friends on the Gold Coast so his disappearance went unreported,’’ Det Austin said. 
‘‘The investigations reveal the victim suffered a violent assault culminating in his death.’’
The 22-year-old man has also been charged on an unrelated armed robbery of a 7-Eleven petrol station in Coomera last week.

Reporting Medicaid Fraud and Elder Abuse. Visit www.failvfail.com
In my opinion - There is no question in my mind that Gary A. Nelson, his wife Tonia Dedeke Nelson and Iva June Dedeke worked together to mislead the Medicaid officials by diverting, transferring and/or hiding June's assets from Medicaid in what appears to be a successful attempt to defraud Medicaid. In my opinion this is a blatant case of Medicaid Qualification fraud by the planned transferring of assets in the Form of Real Estate and other assets, with the intend to defraud, by and for the benefit of Iva June Fail Dedeke. The plan was crafted by her son in law attorney Gary A. Nelson, a licensed attorney in the State of Kansas. His wife Tonia Nelson is a Licensed Registered Nurse (RN) in the State of Kansas. Eugene Dedeke was also part of the plan as he had knowledge, and cooperated and assisted them.

In my opinion, I have enclosed sufficient evidence as proof to support a full investigation, which should result in the filing of State and Federal criminal fraud charges. The investigation should explore possible violations of both Civil and Criminal Fraud and Statutes and also State and Federal RICO Statutes. It is also my opinion that attorney Gary Nelson should loose his licensed to practice law and his wife Tonia Nelson should loose her license to act as a Nurse. They both have involved themselves in activities that I am sure violates their professional standards and oaths under the cannons and codes of professional ethics.

You are invited to inquire of me as to what my motivations are for taking the time and making the effort to prepare all of the information that I have provided to you. I will make myself available upon your request to answer any and all of your questions that you may have of me. I will also provide you with any and all of my documents and records, which are substantial. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
