A Minnesota soldier deployed in Iraq has accused his wife of selling the couple's Maplewood home without his consent, withdrawing about $25,000 from his IRAs by forging his signature, and moving to Fargo, North Dakota.
Dana Marie Kieser, 37, the wife of John Paul Kieser, has been charged in Ramsey County District Court with two counts of felony check forgery. She is not in custody and has been ordered to appear in court in St. Paul June 4.
John Kieser, deployed with the U.S. Army in Iraq, contacted Maplewood Police last Dec. 27 and alleged that his wife falsely claimed that he had been disabled in order to use her power of attorney to sell their home,

Disgusting, but somehow not surprising... Unfortunately. :(
Hope they throw the book at her!
He is lucky to be rid of this POS!
During the Vietnam war this kind of stuff was pretty common.
Yup, hence my lack of surprise.
I have one bad story in particular about a guy in Nam.. But for men only.
What a scumbucket!
I can understand the concern here and I do not like it, but be realistic. He was a fool for leaving everything in her name while he was gone. If it were me I would have put it into a trust or written a POA document that required two individuals one being a neutral party or better yet appoint two neutrals. That would end this kind of stuff. She is a dirt bag but even dirt bags can be controlled
Send her on an all expense paid trip to Club Gitmo!!
There must be a special place in Hell for “women”like this type.
What a sweet heart this woman was.
I could be wrong.... but i think i found her Myspace.
I got it off this wierd site:

He didn't.
Well the article seems to say that he didn't leave assets in her name. It seems to say she had to forge his signature to get access to IRA funds, and falsely claim he was disabled in order to activate a power of attorney and sell their home.
Yeah, its very well known that around military bases many girls will marry a younger soldier right before he goes off, usually a stripper or some such.
On a related note. Ever wonder why their are so many Koreans around military bases?
“I have one bad story in particular about a guy in Nam.. But for men only.”
May as well tell it, the posters on this thread already know most of the stories, and the non vets can learn about the uglier side of life for the enlisted man.
Been there...got the t-shirt.
I think it’s like that on both sides of the fence when you’re in a military town.
In Panama City FL every girlie on earth (practically) is gunning for an airman, etc.
The soldiers have some idea what they’re getting into, I suspect.
Some of the GIs are a piece of work too – my wife’s dad, for instance.
He met his wife while stationed in Germany and married her. Knocked her up then got stationed in Watertown where he knocked her up a second time and shortly decided the whole marriage/family thing wasn’t as attractive as originally envisioned and bailed out.
Those types of stories aren’t uncommon either way.
Anyway, my wife has some pictures of Life in Watertown.
It’s really a pretty place – like in late July when the leaves are turning colors… just kidding, but not by much.
She has a picture of their house and there’s no visible house. It’s just a big pile of snow. Snow from the top of the roof to the ground.
Seriously nothing but a trench in the snow that turns into a tunnel as it gets to the porch.
I guess that’s one reason you can get houses (comparatively) cheap there – nobody wants to live in ice most of the year.
She said it was a nice place to grow up as a kid but as an old woman she doesn’t want to be inconvenienced by any more snow… I’ll take her word for it and stay away.
Quite a few of the civvie contractors in Iraq had this same kind of thing happen to them. One guy’s wife informed him she was getting a divorce less than a month after he arrived (three kids, very nice new house).
I heard through the grapevine of several checking accounts being raided, and vaguely recall one instance of the house being sold without his knowledge. Some guys were so wiped out that they had to extend their time in Iraq to avoid complete bankruptcy.
I wouldn’t say it was “common”, but it did happen in all too many cases.
