"Carleen McGeachie, 42, was one of five suspects who had traveled nearly 3,000 miles and whom detectives had been tailing for months, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. She was picked up last week along with New York residents Richard Logan, 33, and Heaven Richards, 25, as they allegedly attempted to ply their fraudulent trade at several banks throughout the Bay Area."
"McGeachie, Logan and Richards were allegedly part of a bank fraud scheme targeting multiple financial institutions throughout Sonoma County, the sheriff's office said on Monday. After they were arrested last Thursday, deputies searched a hotel room in Vacaville, where they had been staying. That yielded more than $15,000 in cash, along with evidence related to identity theft, including fraudulent identification cards and credit cards, authorities said."
"McGeachie's family had not seen her since Sept. 4 of last year, when she was last spotted on Frontage Road near the New Haven town line with East Haven. She was formally reported missing by New Haven police on Nov. 11. On Tuesday, the New Haven Police Department confirmed she's the same person who was arrested in California."
