She was also sentenced to four years in prison.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Authorities aren&#8217;t sure how Reis came to be buried underneath a vacant Dayton home.<\/p>\n<p>Reis&#8217; body was discovered in September and authorities believe he died in January 2015. Police said in a statement that an autopsy couldn&#8217;t determine his cause of death.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There were four other people living in the home and Russell was his caretaker. No one called 9-1-1 when he died. The police couldn&#8217;t figure out who buried him under the house so the only thing they could prosecute was the theft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associated Press reports that forty-one-year-old Christy Russell was sentenced to pay back more than $32, 000 &hellip; <a title=\"Christy Russell sentenced for VA fraud\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=65845\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Christy Russell sentenced for VA fraud<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65846,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/65846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
