Dana M. Kieser deceived and defrauded her husband when he was at his most vulnerable, serving in Iraq with the Minnesota National Guard, a Ramsey County jury heard Friday.
She closed out John Kieser's retirement and college-savings accounts, forged his name on two checks totaling almost $25,000, bought a home in Fargo, N.D., and sold their home in Maplewood -- all without his knowledge or consent, prosecutor Laura Rosenthal said.

Update Ping!
Reminds me of somthing that happened to a guy I knew slightly while he was on strike duty in a power plant. His wife cleaned out the bank account sold off the possessions and the house and ran off with her new boyfriend while he was toiling away racking up overtime pay locked in the power plant(and she got the pay too - the joys of direct deposit). I never heard how it ended. Badly for her I hope, but probably not.
My then wife forged my name on a $12k tax refund check here in southern California. I couldn’t get anyone from law enforcement to even return my call.
I don’t think thir marriage was that good, but then again, this sort of thing happens all the time, regardless of where the spouse is.
...and when she gets out she’ll still get half.
NOT guilty by reason of insanity!
Probably will get Chick Justice: She closed out John Kieser’s retirement and college-savings accounts, forged his name on two checks totaling almost $25,000, bought a home in Fargo, N.D., and sold their home in Maplewood — all without his knowledge or consent, prosecutor Laura Rosenthal said.
“District Judge James Clark set sentencing for June 12. Dana Kieser is unlikely to serve any time in prison. The presumptive sentence for check forgery is a stayed sentence. The amount of restitution would be determined by probation officials.”
To top that off, when he left to move in with his bimbo girlfriend, he left behind HIS 12 year old daughter from a previous marriage, and I had an 11 daughter of my own. Fortunately, her mother still had legal custody, but was a drug addict...that's why we had her...so I got her mother to sign custody over to me and I raised her.
In fact, the way I caught him cheating was that he took his daughter to spend the night at his girlfriend's and bought her a Dooney & Burke purse to shut her up. That didn't go over so well, she blabbed anyway.
Is there anyway this kind of crime against a servicemember can be escalated to a Federal offense? She ought to do 5 - 7 yrs hard time for this.
she outta be doing 6 - 7 feet under...
I thought I had been done bad when the girl
I was going with stepped out on me when I was
still in basic.
Wow,come home from war and find you`ve been
cleaned out by your wife.
I know of a least 15 cases personally with men in the 82nd where the woman at home went wild....now 13/15 have declared bankruptcy since actions stated in Afghanistan and Iraq.....
Buddy of mine who had just gotten divorced and remarried was killed in the Gander crash. He hadn’t changed over his SGLI to reflect his new marriage so last I heard she got nothing and his ex got it all.
Happens to soldiers all the time. I work in a real estate-related field, so I get to hear all kinds of stories.
I know an Army pilot who left for Iraq with $125,000 in the back, and came home to $15,000. His wife also had a good paying job.
I met a customer who left for a year in Korea. Hs wife didn’t make any house payments while he was gone, his house got foreclosed on, and she spent all his money.
Both men are now divorced.
Lots of soldiers come home to wives who have cheated on them. I had a customer who returned from Iraq, only to find his wife in his swimming pool, naked, with another man. Of course, he’s divorced, too.
As an MP friend of mine used to say, the NCO club on a Friday or Saturday night when the troops are in the field. Fort Hood Sixties.
OMG....so sad....hope the ex enjoys it....seems when ‘they’ go that way....the hubby is suppose to give them everything...ludicrous.
When relatives steal from you it is hard to get law enforcement to take any notice.
My nephews stole several thousands of dollars of property from us and we couldn't get the police to do a blasted thing.
