A man previously convicted of scamming dozens of people is in trouble with the law again, accused of murdering a Mesa woman over money. Police said Derek Bollswinkel shot and killed 82-year-old 82-year-old Linda Baran in February and then used her debit card to withdraw $4,000. About 10 years ago, he previously ripped off people by making fake promises through his "house sitting" program. Steven Sarabia reports.
