FOX 13 has uncovered what appears to be an uncommon and particularly cruel form of potential elder abuse in one of our communities. FOX13

A weeks-long investigation found mistreatment that wasn’t physical but instead appears to have been financially exploitative, with victims sharing accounts of emotional manipulation by the same man.

The brothers said a man named Steven Dempsey came off as harmless in the beginning, but soon the family started noticing some red flags. Kevin called Issaquah Police, and officers said the family would have to evict Dempsey, since he had taken tenancy inside the home. White has been diagnosed with early stages of dementia, which we learned is common in elder abuse cases.

Sullivan filed for a protection order against Dempsey in 2021. In the filing, she claims Dempsey threatened to kill a dog they were watching, stabbed a friend of theirs on the forehead and that he stole from them and brought stolen items to their places.
