MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) – A Plymouth, Minnesota man is charged with stealing all of his 90-year old mother’s money and neglecting her up until her death. Thursday afternoon, David Vanzo was arrested in Pomona, California, where he was still living off his mother’s money. In fact, according to police and prosecutors, that’s the only thing he’s done for years: neglect his mother, and siphon her money, gambling it away or spending it on sex and porn.
Vanzo is charged with financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult. According to the charges, he bilked his 90-year old mother out of $250,000 and let her die of dehydration, malnutrition and neglect. When police found Caryl Vanzo 14 months ago in the Plymouth home they shared, she was covered in urine and feces. Her son had allegedly been busy watching porn on his computer.
