From Television Personality to Prison

 

Kathleen Simane was her Great Aunt Helen's Temporay Guardian..now she's the one being "guarded" - in a prison cell.
 

Kathleen Simane had achieved her dream.  She was an award winning dog trainer and outdoor enthusiast.  In December  2004, she became Co-Host for the American Outdoorsman television show. 

The press release announcing her appointment excitedly proclaimed:    "Kathy brings with her a passion for the great outdoors as well as training and competing in dog show events, such as in agility, obedience and hunt tests.  Kathy earned a multitude of awards and recognition with her 6-year old black lab, Ashton, including winning first place at the Labrador Nationals at Purina Farms in October, 2003, and earning Ashton's Hunting Retriever title in 2004." *

Kathy Simane had everything going for her. 

A year and a half later, Kathy Simane pleaded guilty to two counts of theft by bailee against Helen Fabis - her vulnerable great aunt.  Rock County Judge James Daley sentenced her to prison for two years.
