Greed, selfishness, narcissism.
They would spend years building a case against Rebecca.
Meanwhile, she had built a new life with new friends and a new profession.
What kind of doctor did she tell you she was?
While Leo Strawguy sat in jail, Rebecca Schwartz had already left Florida for a fresh start in Lodi, Wisconsin.
