Miya ShayHarris County Attorney Christian Menefee filed a civil lawsuit against the two men featured accused of swindling a teacher out of her own home.A story ABC13 Investigates first broke wide open has now resulted in Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee filing a civil lawsuit against the two men featured in our original reporting.
In the summer of 2023, ABC13 was there when retired teacher Wanda Jackson's belongings were thrown out onto her front lawn. She was evicted from the house she had lived in since 1977.This past February, our investigation found that while recovering from COVID-19, Jackson unwittingly signed over the deed of her home to Malcolm Pryor, a contractor.
"We've been looking at scams for a few months, but it was the story from ABC13 that brought Ms. Wanda's situation to our vision," said Menefee. "Since then, we've really tried to dig and investigate, do all that we can to make sure what happened to her doesn't happen to people in Harris County." "Mr. Pryor definitely tried to scam this home, and in fact, was successful in doing so," said Menefee. "As for Mr. Mayer, the other one, it's highly suspicious that someone would buy a property, hold it for six months, and sell it back to the same person at a profit."
