Guardian (Amy Russell) of a child victim in a closed criminal case reach out to me to let me know that the biological mother (Nicole Gunderson) of the child victim (who has not had custody of the child or sibling since 2021) has been the one who claimed and received reimbursement from Crime Victims' Compensation as well as other benefit offices (Food Stamps, TANF, etc.). Guardian is trying to contact everyone to correct the custody information and cease those benefits to bio mom. I am making a referral for any additional guidance for the guardian.
