In addition to a woman, three men were arrested in what police said was a murder-for-hire plot targeting a 96-year-old Montecito widow in 2022.
Nearly two years after Violet Evelyn Alberts was found dead, detectives say they've uncovered an intricate fraud scheme that culminated in a murder-for-hire plot targeting the 96-year-old, who was found dead in her Montecito home. Santa Barbara County sheriff's detectives had already arrested 48-year-old Pauline Macareno in June 2022 on suspicion of elder abuse and fraud.
At some point, Brown said, she came into contact with Macareno, who was supposed to be working on a reverse-mortgage deal for Alberts but instead set up a scheme to fraudulently gain control of her assets and home. On May 27, 2022, deputies found Alberts in her bed, killed by asphyxiation, he said. A window near the rear door of the home was shattered.
