The woman who obtained the deed to a multi-million dollar home in Raleigh is now in custody and criminally charged.Dawn Mangum is accused of obtaining property by false pretense.
When Mangun previously spoke to ABC11 she said everything was done by law. She said she thought Adams' property was in foreclosure when she worked to get the deed to the home into her trust. She said once she learned the property was not in foreclosure, she stopped all paperwork on the process. "Found out that she had filed a false warranty claim deed against this house and basically tried to steal ," Adams said."There's no effort to authenticate the validity of the change of deed. Nobody verifies the notary. Nobody verifies who owns the house that's trying to be transferred to a different owner," Adams said about what he learned during his visit.
