A Florida woman who posed as a nurse and treated more than 4,400 patients without a license was sentenced this week to probation and community service after pleading no contest, avoiding jail time in a case authorities once called deeply disturbing.. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that 29-year-old Autumn Bardisa, of Palm Coast, entered the guilty plea on Tuesday to unlicensed practice of healthcare and fraudulent use of identification.. Circuit Judge Dawn Nichols withheld adjudication and sentenced Bardisa to five years of probation and 50 hours of community service as part of the agreement.. She must also write a letter of apology to the nurse whose license number she used.. As part of the plea deal, Bardisa forfeited a nursing license she obtained after her arrest to the Florida Department of Health and is barred from working in the medical field during her probation.. MAN CHARGED IN $90M MEDICARE FRAUD SCHEME; DOJ SAYS SUSPECT MAY HAVE ENTERED US ILLEGALLY. Bardisa was originally charged with seven counts of unlicensed practice of health care and seven counts of fraudulent use of personal identification information following a seven-month investigation.. Authorities said she treated more than 4,400 patients between June 2024 and January 2025, while falsely presenting herself as a licensed nurse at AdventHealth.. Investigators determined Bardisa never held a valid nursing license during that time and instead used the license number of another nurse who shared her first name..

The case stemmed from a months-long investigation involving state and federal health agencies after hospital officials discovered Bardisa had allegedly used another nurse’s license number and falsified records to land a job as an advanced nurse technician.. Investigators said Bardisa initially applied under an “education first” designation, typically used for nursing graduates who have not yet passed their licensing exam. She later claimed she had completed the exam and provided a license number belonging to a different nurse with the same first name.. To explain inconsistencies, Bardisa told hospital staff she had recently changed her last name after getting married but never produced documentation when asked to verify the claim..

​NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. Five people have been arrested as part of an alleged multi-million dollar hospice fraud scheme in California, officials said Thursday.. California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the ring defrauded the state of more than $267 million through fraudulent billing to Medi-Cal, the state-administered Medicaid program. In total, 21 people have been charged.. The arrests were part of a state investigation dubbed “Operation Skip Trace,” which targeted locations in Southern California.. “This criminal scheme, this criminal operation, was no accident,” Bonta told reporters at a news conference to announce the arrests. “It wasn’t a case of billing errors, cutting corners, or up-charging care. This was a brazen, calculated criminal scheme that exploited the Medi-Cal system, stole from the State of California and Medicaid, and prevented services and care from going to sick individuals who actually need it.”. The probe began with a tip from the state Department of Health Care Services alleging hospice fraud at 14 companies. Bonta’s office investigated the companies and eight people suspected of money laundering.. HOUSE COMMITTEE LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION INTO ‘RAMPANT’ CALIFORNIA HOSPICE FRAUD. Investigators found that those involved purchased personal identifying information for people living outside of California on the dark web, then enrolled them in Covered California by posing as California residents.. “Straw owners” then bought a number of hospice companies and began billing Medi-Cal for services never provided to those stolen identities. The suspects used fake records, nonexistent offices, and fraudulent diagnoses to justify these claims, Bonta said.. “Meanwhile, the so-called patients were healthy, out-of-state, and completely unaware that they had been enrolled in hospice care,” he said.. ‘WE’RE COMING AFTER YOU’: DR. OZ REVOKES MEDICARE ACCESS FOR LA DOCTOR TIED TO $71M HOSPICE BILLING. California Health and Human Services Secretary Kim Johnson said the DHCS halted payments and suspended all fraudulent hospice providers. “There is a moratorium currently in place through January 2027 for new licensed providers,” Johnson noted.. “Once the money was paid out, it was funneled through a complex web of over 130 shell companies and hidden across bank accounts, payment apps, and cryptocurrency to evade detection,” Bonta added. “The money was laundered.”. No actual medical services were provided, Bonta noted. He said all 21 suspects are accounted for through arrest, active warrants, or notices to appear before a judge. While announcing the suspected fraud, Bonta also criticized the Trump administration amid its claims of rampant fraud in California..

​HOPE TOWN, Bahamas — Bahamian police are searching for missing American Lynette Hooker five days after her husband said she fell out of a dinghy and was swept away by a strong current near Elbow Cay in the Caribbean country. Her husband, Brian Hooker, has been arrested in her disappearance, according to the attorney representing him. Here’s what is known so far about the case.

Lynette, 55, and Brian, 58, chronicled their experience buying and cleaning up their boat in Rockport, Texas, in a video posted on YouTube on January 10, 2023, on their channel, The Sailing Hookers. They had spent years looking for a sailboat to buy before finding a Morgan 461 sailboat in Texas, a 1980 charter boat from the Virgin Islands. She described it as “a little rough on the edges,” but said, “But we knew we were up for the task,” in the video that showed photos and footage of the couple repairing the boat.

The Hookers continued to post updates over the years. A video dated March 17, 2023, shows them sailing from the Industrial Canal Lock toward Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans, followed by another on March 26, 2023. On April 24, 2023, they posted a clip of Walmart supplies being delivered to them in New Orleans. There was a long gap until August 13, 2025, when they posted from Fernandina Beach, Florida, and a September 29, 2025 clip from a bridge over a creek in Coloma, California. A video dated March 9, 2026, shows them paddleboarding in Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas. Then, on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 7:30 p.m., they posted from Marsh Harbour again, showing them on the water.

Local authorities say the couple left Hope Town’s Abaco Inn on a dinghy headed toward their anchored yacht. According to Brian, Lynette fell overboard from the small boat, and the ignition key remained with her, causing the dinghy to shut off. Despite attempts to save her, he said she was swept away, and he paddled to the shore in Marsh Harbour. He reported Lynette missing on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at 4 a.m. The Royal Bahamas Police Force announced an investigation into Lynette’s fall, and the U.S. Coast Guard briefly participated in the search on Sunday. The Royal Bahamas Defence Force remains the lead agency for the search, and the Coast Guard provided support for about an hour using an HC-144 aircraft, but the effort yielded no results.
