The Los Angeles Police Department's Commercial Crimes Division is on the hunt for additional victims after the apprehension of a fiduciary accused of milking her clients of millions. Donna Bogdanovich, a state-licensed manager of special needs trusts and conservatorships, was arrested following a 14-month investigation by the LAPD and the Department of Justice.

On January 4, 2024, Bogdanovich was booked on a Felony Fraud Warrant – staff at the institution identified her booking number as #6737450. Police say she maneuvered funds from those dependent on her services into her coffers, causing a devastating collective loss of $2.5 million.

Authorities are actively seeking other victims who may have fallen prey to Bogdanovich's alleged schemes. According to information gleaned from the LAPD Newsroom, Detective III Adriano is spearheading the search for additional victims and can be reached at 818-374-9420 for those with any pertinent information.
