Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway on Monday announced the indictments of William Qualls and Linda Smith for allegedly defrauding the Kentucky Medicaid Program.
Qualls and Smith, who worked as caregivers for a disabled Medicaid recipient, are each charged with Devising or Engaging in a Scheme to Defraud the Kentucky Medicaid Program and Theft by Unlawful Taking Over $500 but under $10,000.
Indictments were issued in Jefferson County. Smith was arraigned Monday, and she pled not guilty. A pre-trial conference is set for August 15. Qualls did not show up for his arraignment, and a bench warrant has been issued for his arrest. If convicted, Qualls and Smith each face up to ten years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.

“I will not tolerate theft from our Medicaid Program,” Conway said. “These are our tax dollars. People who are defrauding the program are stealing from tax payers and affecting services provided to our most vulnerable citizens.”
In its investigation, the Office of the Attorney General reports that both Qualls and Smith submitted false timesheets to the Kentucky Medicaid Program while they worked as caregivers for the disabled. Disabled people who receive these services through Medicaid have an opportunity to achieve a higher quality of life and their families are not forced to place them in institutions to receive care.

Authorities today resumed their search for a 19-year-old woman who vanished into a Washington forest on a “spiritual quest” sporting only a fanny pack, three days after they had to suspend the rescue effort because they didn’t have enough people to look for her.
Maureen Kelly of Vancouver, Wash., has not been seen since she left Canyon Creek Campground at Gifford Pinchot National Forest in southwest Washington on Sunday evening, according to Skamania County Undersheriff Dave Cox.
http://liarcatchers.com/missing_persons_investigations.html
Cox said there were “very limited resources during the week” to continue to search for Kelly. While organized search efforts were suspended on Wednesday, approximately 50 state-certified searchers have made themselves available for an all day search effort today, he said.
“It should be a good day to go find her,” Cox told ABCNews.com today. “Right now we’re hoping she wants to be found.”
Cox said friends of Kelly’s who were with her at the campsite expected her to return within a few hours. While she did not indicate when she would return, her friends called the sheriff’s office just after midnight Monday morning to report her missing.
“She had talked about doing this spiritual quest for evidently quite some time,” he said. “The folks that she was with, they felt that this was something she needed to do.”
Cox said it is believed Kelly only had a knife, a compass and matches with her in the fanny pack.
Weather in the forest has been on the cooler side since Kelly went missing, Cox said. The region has received a good amount of rain and temperatures have dropped as low as the mid-40s at night.
In addition to hypothermia, Cox said there are a number of hazardous conditions that could endanger Kelly’s life.
“There’s always a risk of injury in the territory she’s in — it’s very deep and rugged,” he said. “There’s a lot of debris on the forest floor, so she could slip on moss, or break a leg. There are a lot of different scenarios you could run into.”
The sheriff’s office does not have photos of Kelly for identification purposes, but authorities are aware of Kelly’s physical characteristics.
“There aren’t too many folks we know of that are missing here without clothes on,” Cox said.
Grand Prairie police are asking for the public’s help finding a 74-year-old man who went missing from a senior center.
