Fallen Soldier's Mother "Shocked" by Alleged Check Fraud Scheme

As three people are charged with stealing the identity of fallen Wisconsin service men and women, family members ask why. "It doesn't make any sense to me and I guess it baffles me that someone would even consider doing such a thing," Mary Bosveld, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, said. Bobby McLeod and James Larson of Green Bay and Tina Mitchem of Milwaukee all face several felony charges in Oneida County. They're accused of stealing the identities of Rachel Bosveld, Matthew Schram, and Andrew Halverson, who all died in the line of duty in Iraq. A sheriff's deputy arrested the three suspects during a traffic stop in the Town of Lake Tomahawk last week. Authorities say inside the car they found computers, a printer, and blank checks they believe the trio used to print checks in the service members' names. Posted in: Check Fraud
