Well, that certainly isn't how the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department handles these types of cases. Robert L. Fuller and his sibling, Doris A. Fuller a.k.a Doris Fuller Stewart are still at large.
However, their former attorney Daniel Kristof Lak is currently dealing with a lot of negative karma after helping the two named commit elder abuse, financial elder abuse, fraud and undue influence; which is having an impact on his ability to practice law. It would appear that he would be better off trying for a real singing career.

Woman Took Elderly Victim
YORK (SC) — A Smyrna woman is in jail facing more than 40 forgery and financial card theft charges after police say she made fraudulent credit card transactions and stole checks from an elderly woman she took care of for at least six months.
The victim, who is in her late 80s, first reported the forgery after discovering that stole three of her checks had been stolen and her name had been forged, funneling about $1,600 from her bank account, said York Police Detective Mike Clark.
The victim also told police she received an American Express credit card bill showing several transactions totaling at least $7,000 that she hadn’t made, Clark said.
Officers spoke with the caregiver, who told police she had completed the transactions, he said.
Nikki Flynn Fleming, 38, is charged with 37 counts of financial transaction card fraud equaling less than $500, three counts of forgery and two counts of financial transaction car fraud valuing more than $500 in a six-month period.

Elderly Couple's Tale Of Abuse Not So Uncommon
By: Rebecca Blatt // May 3, 2013
James and Etta Jennings moved to the Forest Hill neighborhood of Richmond in 1959. They were young - just married - and the first owners of their red brick ranch house. They had children and then grandchildren, who gathered in their family room for holidays and learned to swim in their backyard pool.
But when their granddaughter, Jeannie Beidler, approached the home on July 27, 2010, she was confronted by a grim reality. Paramedics, police and Adult Protective Services social workers were on the scene.
"You could smell the stench of urine and feces," she says, standing at the foot of the driveway. "From this point, we already knew what we were about to walk into."
The Jennings' son, Beidler's uncle, was supposed to be caring for them, but it became clear very quickly that something had gone horribly wrong. The Jennings were living without running water or even a fan. James was confined to a chair. His blood pressure was high and he was fading in and out of consciousness. Etta was living on a broken bed crawling with maggots.
