A Florida woman is accused of scamming a holocaust survivor out of more than a hundred thousand dollars.

Rella and Leonard Herman are in their 90's and live in pine crest.

Now, police say their caretaker of seven years Odalis Lopez robbed them of their savings.

She now faces felony charges.

The Herman's' grandson says it started when other family members noticed wild spending on the couples' credit card statements.
