Honolulu couple indicted for fraudulently taking man's home

Associated Press

HONOLULU — A Honolulu couple has been indicted on eight federal counts for allegedly fraudulently acquiring the Oahu home of a man who later disappeared.

A federal grand jury indicted Henry Calucag and Debra Anagaran with money laundering, wire fraud and mail fraud for allegedly fraudulently causing a man to transfer the title of his St. Louis Heights home to them in 1990.

The U.S. Attorney's office in Honolulu said today that the man, Arthur Spooner Young, disappeared that year after traveling to the Philippines at Calucag's request.

A state court in 2007 sentenced Calucag to 30 years in prison for stealing the identity of a Kauai businessmen found killed in the Philippines.

The Kauai businessman, John Elwin, disappeared in May 2006 while on a trip to the Philippines with Calucag.
