PITTSBURGH — Authorities said a New Mexico woman has impersonated federal emergency officials, pretended to be a dead victim of a wildfire, tried to drug attorneys who opposed her in court cases or short-circuit one of their computers and forged a check belonging to an Alzheimer's support group.
Now, according to an arrest warrant issued Tuesday, 60-year-old Pamela Medley walked into district attorney Stephen Zappala’s office in late April with forged documents and tried to dupe authorities into dismissing a pending criminal case.
Authorities said Medley left the DA's office before she was recognized, but the visit raised suspicions and led to several new misdemeanor charges.
Medley, of Albuquerque, is currently on the run.
“We’re looking for anybody’s assistance in finding her,” Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office communications director Mike Manko said. “We’ve had reports that she’s still in the area and that she’s out of the area. We’re trying to sort through it all.”
Manko called Medley’s move “desperate” and a “significant criminal offense.”
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact police.
