As Montgomery County authorities and the FBI hunt down Upper Gwynedd's Janet M. Gitney, a fugitive believed to be somewhere in the Philippines, the international, high-profile case now has the attention of U.S. Sen. Bob Casey.

Casey (D, Pa.) wrote to Jose Cuisia, Filipino Ambassador to the United States this week, urging his government to assist Montgomery County law enforcement in finding the woman accused of stealing more than $100,000 from a stroke victim who was in her care.

Officials have also said that Gitney, 54, abandoned her ill father, leaving him alone in her home when she left the country last month. He has since died.

"What this suspect is accused of is appalling, and I urge the Filipino government to assist our police officers in tracking down this fugitive," Casey said in a press statement.
