Fairfield home health aide accused of stealing from elderly patients

FAIRFIELD (WABC) -- A home health aide in Connecticut is under arrest and facing charges after police say she stole from the elderly clients for whom she was supposed to be providing care.

And the alleged incident, in Fairfield, was caught on camera.

The video is crystal clear and described as a key piece of evidence, showing a woman who police identify as Kris Marsan rummages through a drawer. She allegedly searched until she found an envelope and removed the money inside, the cash visible in her hand as she left the house.

It's just one of two cases the 47-year-old aide has been charged in, and there could be more.

In another clip, the suspect is seen opening what appears to be a jewelry case. Later, she is seen counting a wad of money.

Authorities say Marsan has worked as a caretaker for the elderly throughout Fairfield County, despite never having been registered or licensed in Connecticut.

Her latest arrest took place this week, after she allegedly stole $5,000 in cash and jewelry while working at a complex for seniors called Parish Court.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact police.
