About this Article

Residents of a Warrenville group home for the developmentally disabled were devastated when they learned house manager Linda Cottrell had been looting their bank accounts. On Friday, a DuPage County judge called the crimes “unconscionable” as she sentenced Cottrell to 40 months in prison. The 37-year-old Justice woman had pleaded guilty to financial exploitation of an disabled person.
