In January one of the victims was checking the account she held with her father and noticed someone had paid several cell phone bills with it and use it to pay for outgoing calls from inmates in the state prison system. Police were able to trace the charges back to Jeff after she used the account to pay for camp for her daughter at the Phantom Lake YMCA.

Jeff admitted to the charges, telling investigators she got the account information while tending to the victim’s ailing brother. A total of $11,644 in charges were made to the account.
