Tamara Smith sits in jail accused of stealing the identities of at least 43 nursing home residents. Smith accessed the personal information of several nursing residents through her former job of certified nursing assistant at Tara Nursing Home in Thunderbolt, Georgia. In fact, over half of her victims are current or former residents of the facility, who range in age from 60 to 100. The residents' personal information was used to buy computers, cell phones, and open credit card accounts.

A single family's complaint 15 months ago triggered the investigation. The number of victims continues to grow and more arrests are expected. It is the largest case of identity theft ever seen in Thunderbolt.
