Description
A judge has ordered the boyfriend of missing woman Dia Abrams removed as co-trustee of her ranch near Idyllwild, after he allegedly tried to list the property with a real estate agent.
Abrams, 65, is a former La Jolla resident who went missing in 2020 and still has not been found.
During a probate court hearing in Palm Springs on Wednesday, Judge Russell Velasquez said Keith Harper had no authority to list the 117-acre ranch for sale.
“My concerns are Mr. Harper's alleged efforts to hypothecate property that he has no authority to hypothecate or sell,” Judge Velasquez said during the remote hearing.
On August 10, Harper allegedly contacted Orange County real estate agent Jennine Daniels, telling her, “he had owned the Bonita Vista property for sixteen years.”
