Son Accused of Bringing Dead Mom to Bank to Receive Money

Wonders shall never end even in the 21st century. 
A Minnesota man is being quizzed by police for elderly neglect and financial exploitation of his mother.

Investigators are trying to determine if David Vanzo’s mother was already dead when he brought her into the bank to make a withdrawal though Vanzo has come out to deny the allegations.

Seven hours before Vanzo reported his mother dead, he took her to the bank to make a withdrawal. Vanzo was pushing her in a wheelchair and bank employees claimed the woman’s feet were dragging under it.

According to a search warrant that cited the bank employees, they did not see her move and could not tell if she was breathing that day.

Vanzo allegedly withdrew $850 in his mother’s name while at the bank.

A neighbor claimed to see the two leaving their home in a taxi.

“I don’t know if she was unconscious, or not alive,” the neighbor told FOX 9.

Plymouth police said when they visited the home they found the woman in bed. She was wearing a robe and a fur coat. Her boots were covered in feces.

Vanzo was arrested on elderly neglect.

Carryl Vanzo died a few days before turning 91.

Vanzo has been investigated in the past for financial exploitation. The investigation revealed a $118,000 reverse mortgage his mother couldn’t explain and two large cash withdrawals of $47,500 and $25,600.

Vanzo claimed the money was from a joint back account and the withdrawals were taken to help his mother.

“I love my mother very much,” he said. “I gave my life to keep my mother alive. Look at my eyes.”
