Investigators claim Zeemin and Rosko maxed out some of the accounts, running up tens of thousands of dollars in charges, including at a shop that only sells women\u2019s clothing. To pay off the credit cards, police allege, the couple tried to take out loans on Ferk\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators also accuse the couple of cashing in some of Ferk\u2019s life insurance policies.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, according to police, the couple got a recreational vehicle and wrote checks for thousands of dollars from Ferk&#8217;s bank accounts for equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez says the couple took Ferk on trips in the RV, traveling to historical sites and veterans memorials, but also allegedly spending substantial sums of money on themselves along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Ferk was left unaware of the spending, the credit cards and the loans, he claims.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At Ferk&#8217;s request, a friend, Gilbert Martinez, delved into his books and found the stupefying truth &#8211; they had spent about $340,000 of his money on themselves while Dennis&#8217; bills went unpaid. A warrant has finally been issued for Zeemin&#8217;s and Rosko&#8217;s arrests while Dennis is living in public housing with his daughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jilly sends us a link to the Santa Fe New Mexican which tells the story of &hellip; <a title=\"Dian Zeemin and Joe Rosko rip off WWII vet\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=67952\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Dian Zeemin and Joe Rosko rip off WWII vet<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":67953,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67952","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\/67952","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=67952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/67953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
