Kelly Shaw, age 44, and her boyfriend John “Jack” Harper, 45, will be arraigned Thursday, April 4, on charges of theft valued over $1,200, uttering forged checks, and other offenses, authorities said.
They have not been charged with homicide, authorities reiterated.
Christine Ruth Mello, who lived on Lake Street, had been reported missing before her body was recovered at her home, the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office said. Investigators believe she had been dead for several days before she was found.
It's unclear if or how the alleged financial crimes are tied to the homicide investigation.
The duo will appear in court at 2 p.m. on Thursday.
