A woman who vanished in New Haven last year has resurfaced in California, where she was apprehended alongside two individuals from New York. They are now facing charges related to identity theft and bank fraud. For further details, visit the original report.

According to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office, Carleen McGeachie, 42, was among five suspects who traveled nearly 3,000 miles and were under surveillance by detectives for several months. More information is available through CBS News.

McGeachie, along with Richard Logan, 33, and Heaven Richards, 25, both from New York, was captured last week. Authorities allege the trio attempted to execute fraudulent activities at numerous banks across the Bay Area.

The three suspects are currently detained on charges of bank fraud, conspiracy, grand theft, and identity theft, awaiting their court appearance, as reported by the Bay City News Service. Further details can be found here.

Investigators believe McGeachie, Logan, and Richards were involved in a sophisticated “bank fraud scheme targeting multiple financial institutions” in Sonoma County, as noted by the sheriff’s office on Monday. For more on this, visit their Facebook page.

Following their arrest last Thursday, law enforcement searched a Vacaville hotel room where the suspects had been residing. This search uncovered over $15,000 in cash alongside evidence of identity theft, including fake IDs and credit cards, according to authorities.

Sonoma County police did not say where in New York that Logan and Richards are from. They said McGeachie is also a New York resident, though she’d been reported missing from Connecticut.

McGeachie’s family had not seen her since Sept. 4 of last year, when she was last spotted on Frontage Road near the New Haven town line with East Haven. She was formally reported missing by New Haven police on Nov. 11.

On Tuesday, the New Haven Police Department confirmed she’s the same person who was arrested in California, the New Haven Register reported. Her missing-persons case is now closed, according to Hartford CBS affiliate WFSB.

Her family has not issued a public statement.
