WAHOO, Neb. (AP) — An eastern Nebraska woman faces a charge of abusing a vulnerable adult, accused of looting her father’s bank account.

A news release from the office of Saunders County Attorney Scott Tingelhoff says 61-year-old Cynthia Odermatt  is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 28 to face the felony charge, which carries a maximum prison term of five years.

The release says a Nebraska State Patrol investigator discovered that Odermatt had taken about $175,000 from her father’s bank account from May 1, 2009, to Dec. 31, 2011.

Odermatt said Tuesday that her 87-year-old father signed loan papers for the money and that she hasn’t had a chance to pay him back yet.

She says her father had a stroke in 2009 but “is doing very, very well.”
