Theft Investigation Against Guardian May Grow

An Appleton guardian accused of stealing several hundred thousand dollars from his elderly and disabled clients may be investigated in another county.

Jeffrey Schend, 44, is owner of JMS Guardianship Services. He faces six felony theft charges in Outagamie County for allegedly emptying the bank accounts of several clients who were deemed legally incompetent.

Action 2 News has learned Schend was contracted for services in Waupaca and Shawano counties and by the Oneida tribe as well.

After our report aired Wednesday, Action 2 News received a call from a former client of Schend's claiming more theft allegations against the former guardian.

Appleton police and Outagamie County tell us they're looking into the new complaint

Good news. Every rock should be turned over in anticipation of finding something else Schend did.

and another issue is state of wisconsin is one of the few states where all guardianship case files are closed / sealed so no one else who was suspicious about wrongdoing could be monitoring i wonder what us senator kohl has to say about this?
