The FBI is ramping up efforts to identify a woman in a Rhode Island surveillance photo who investigators say closely resembles a girl missing from Cleveland since 2007.

The Cleveland Division of the FBI says the woman in the photo is suspected of being involved in a string of identification thefts in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

FBI spokeswoman Vicki Anderson says the woman strongly resembles Ashley Summers, who was 14 years old when she disappeared in 2007 from Cleveland.

Anderson says the agency is using a billboard campaign and social media in an effort to identify the woman in the surveillance photo and gather new information.

CBS affiliate WPRI reports the woman seen in the surveillance photo is suspected along with a man of stealing wallets and purses from gyms in Warwick, R.I. in October and then stealing victims’ identities and withdrawing money from their accounts.

“I think if we can find that man, we can find out for sure if it’s Ashley or not,” Linda Summers, Ashley’s grandmother, told CBS affiliate WOIO.

Summers disappeared from the same neighborhood where Ariel Castro held three women captive for a decade before they escaped.

Authorities have said Castro was questioned about Summers, but there was no information linking her case to him.

Summers, who would currently be 21 years old, is described as having brown hair, blue eyes and being 5’5″ tall and weighing 130 pounds. The FBI says she has a tattoo with the name “Gene” in black ink over a red heart on her upper right arm.

The owners of Paragon Family Practice have been criminally charged with theft in Frankfort 1 ½ years after they were sued by employees for allegedly withholding funds.

LEX 18 Investigates first told you about Ann Giles and Lu Anne Wallace in August 2013. At the time, the owners of Central Kentucky’s largest network of private Medicaid clinics were accused by employees of failing to pay health insurance and 401k premiums, despite continuing to withdraw that money from employee paychecks.

Many employees also said they hadn’t gotten a paycheck in weeks or months.

However, it wasn’t withholding money from employees that got Giles and Wallace in trouble; it was withholding money from the state and allegedly keeping it for themselves, according to court records.

On March 2, Giles and Wallace were charged by a Franklin County grand jury with 25 counts each of theft by failure to make required disposition of property. The property, according to the indictments, is taxes collected by Resources in Health Care Management LLC, the staffing and billing arm of Paragon and other affiliated medical clinics.

The documents say they “intentionally dealt with the property as their own and failed to make the required payment.”

LEX 18 Investigative Reporter Richard Essex went to the homes of Giles and Wallace, but neither came to the door. Court documents did not indicate whether the women had retained attorneys.

The indictment offered few other details. The case was presented to the grand jury by an investigator with the Kentucky Department of Revenue, and a criminal summons was sent out the same day of the indictment.

The women were scheduled to be arraigned in Franklin County Circuit Court on April 10.

The indictment was the latest in a series of ongoing legal trouble for Resources in Healthcare Management, its owners and related clinics.

In August 2013, a class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court on behalf of employees who claimed their health insurance and retirement benefits had been cut off even though the employees continued paying for them.

In October of that year, more employees filed another class-action lawsuit claiming they had not received “wages/benefits” for weeks or months.

The company also had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The company said at the time that changes in the ways the federal government provided Medicaid reimbursements had caused a massive funding shortfall, resulting in the problems.

Most of the Paragon Family Clinic offices are now closed, but several clinics remain open.

The investigation started in February 2014, when staff members from the Information Technology Department noticed files downloaded on Williams’ computer that appeared to contain child pornography.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI, the University of Kentucky Police Department, and the Office of the Kentucky Attorney General. Assistant U.S. Attorney David Marye, prosecuted the case on behalf of the federal government.
