A Long Island woman is accused of stealing her neighbor's home, but she claims the homeowner gave her the deed as a gift for the work she did as an aid.Rosemarie Mika received the stunning letter in the mail, as she was notified by the Nassau County Clerk that she no longer owned her Lakeview home.
That's when she called police, who arrested her neighbor’s daughter following a lengthy investigation.On Friday, Aurelia Soogea — the woman who prosecutors said forged her neighbor’s signature to essentially steal her home — faced a judge. Her attorney said her arrest and the criminal charges took him by surprise, given an ongoing civil case over who owns the home.
"We are vehemently contesting it, we’ve entered a plea of not guilty," said defense attorney Lawrence Carra. At the core of the issue is a deed to the house, which appears to transfer ownership of the home from Mika to Soogea — for just $10. The home is estimated to be worth upwards of $350,000.
