FDLE Special Agent Stephen Brenton is seen here letting himself into 96-year-old Annie Mae Curtis' home. He walks through her house and disconnects cameras Hill had in her house to make sure Curtis was safe. Under Hill's care, the Dept of Children and Families (DCF) initially determined Curtis being well-taken care of. In March 2023 Brenton interrogated 96-year-old Annie Mae Curtis—who has no living relatives—for hours without regard that she has dementia and without an attorney. FDLE indicted Hill on numerous charges claiming she was taking advantage of Curtis. Hill denies the accusations and was actually providing for Curtis, according to DCF, and wanted to keep Curtis comfortably in her home abiding by Curtis' wishes. Before Hill became power of attorney, Curtis' house was infested with cat f***s, dead cats, molded food and the house desperately needed repairs. Records show Hill hired someone to cook and clean for Curtis, she repaired Curtis' house and made sure Curtis remained comfortable. When Hill became power of attorney, Curtis' dementia was believed to not have progressed to the state it was in when she was interrogated by Brenton. After almost 2 hours of interrogation Ms. Curtis signed paperwork to get a new power of attorney. The new POA is the daughter of her best friend from college who hasn't seen Ms. Curtis in years. Ms. Curtis didn't know who she was even though she wad sitting right next to her and said she didn't know her friend even had children. During the interrogation, Curtis repeatedly said she was confused and didn't know what the interrogation was about. Curtis is now in a nursing home away from her friends and neighbors and her properties have now been sold for under market value.

Orange County’s Murder “Solve Rate” Is Sky-High. The Data Behind It Isn’t.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — "The Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) says it is closing homicide cases at a clip most agencies would envy. Its 2023 annual report lists 61 homicides and 50 “cleared” — an 82% rate. On paper, that performance outpaces Florida’s statewide clearance range and the nation’s recent averages.

But the closer you look, the more the numbers rely on accounting choices the public can’t see, and the more unresolved questions remain for families waiting on answers."
