Now, and this will sound interesting to you, Robert was experiencing periods of dizziness without any apparent explanation for like why he would be dizzy.

And he started falling.

So obviously the new symptoms were concerning in and of themselves, but equally concerning was another pattern that the kids started to notice, his children.

Whenever Robert was home, he seemed to be in poor health, but as soon as he went to the hospital for treatment, he would get better.

Which is to be expected, obviously.

Like, you do get better when you get treatment.

But it was a marked difference.

Like, that makes sense.

Yeah.

This didn't...

No, this does not make sense.

So Dennis and his wife noticed something similar whenever Robert would come to visit them at their home in Boston.

So this wasn't just like, oh, you're getting medical treatment and you're responding.

It was like, whenever you're not home, you're thriving, but at home, you're not at all.

Dennis said if he came up here and visited, he'd be fine.

But if we talked to him on the telephone, he'd sound dopey.

So we became suspicious.

Why I ought to indeed.

So obviously they were worried that Melissa was abusing or taking advantage of their father.

So Dennis filed a complaint with the Florida Elder Abuse Commission.
