Wanted for String of Thefts
The former Seneca Nation Bingo Hall worker who was hit and killed by an Amtrak train in Buffalo Friday is the woman accused in a string of church thefts in 2009.
37-year-old Sandra Abrams of Salamanca was accused of stealing purses and other personal items during services at four churches.
Her mother, who turned her in at the time, said Abrams had been living on the street for two years and was addicted to heroin.
In March, a judge issued a warrant for her arrest after she failed to show up for a scheduled court appearance.
Friday’s accident is still under investigation.
