WICHITA, KAN. – A Kansas woman was sentenced today to a year
of supervised probation for mail fraud in a scheme to make it appear her
employer left her half his estate when he died, U.S. Attorney Stephen
McAllister said. In addition, she was ordered to make monthly payments of $100
to Fort Hays State University during her probation.
Wanda Oborny, 66, Hays, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of
mail fraud. In her plea, she admitted that in 2013 she mailed a fraudulent
purported codicil to Kansas banker Earl O. Field’s will to Ft. Hays State
University. The document falsely claimed Field had left a fourth of his estate
to the university, a fourth to his lawyer and half to Oborny. In fact, Field
left the majority of the estate to the university.
McAllister commended the FBI, Assistant U.S. Attorney
Annette Gurney and Assistant U.S. Attorney Debra Barnett for their work on the
case.
