Nancy Shedleski, 69, of Las Vegas, faces charge of theft of government money

by: David Charns

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) A woman facing a Social Security fraud charge told investigators she dismembered her deceased husband and threw his remains in the trash, prosecutors wrote in federal court documents obtained by the I-Team.

Nancy Shedleski, 69, of Las Vegas, faces a charge of theft of government money, records showed.

According to court documents, Shedleski deposited her deceased husbands retirement benefits, which continued for more than four years after his death, into her account.

The total amount is estimated at more than $120,000, court documents said. Prosecutors said the Social Security Administration was never made aware of her husbands 2015 death and continued to deposit the payments.

The administration became aware of the deposits in December 2019 after it received an anonymous allegation that Shedleskis husband had disappeared, documents said.

Investigators reviewed Shedleskis husbands medical records, finding he stopped receiving care in 2015 at a hospital in Pennsylvania. In 2017, Shedleskis address changed from a home in western Pennsylvania to an apartment complex in Las Vegas. Her address was not listed in the documents.

In mid-2019, staff at the Las Vegas Social Security Office attempted to contact Shedleskis husband, but there was no response. Shedleski later returned repeated messages, saying she and her husband lived together in Las Vegas.

In late-2019, investigators visited Shedleskis apartment. Her husband was not there, and she reportedly told investigators he was traveling the country. Later in the interview, she told investigators her husband had died in August 2015 in the basement of their previous home in Pennsylvania.

She also told investigators she dismembered his body, packaged up the pieces and threw them into the trash, court documents said,

She called and reported to her family members that [her husband] had died, investigators wrote in court documents. Shedleski confirmed there was no ambulance, no hospitalization, no funeral, no burial and no cremation for [her husband].

If she had reported her husbands death, Shedleski would have been entitled to a monthly survivors benefit, officials said.

A Las Vegas federal judge released Shedleski on bond on Monday. An email to her public defender was not returned.

The I-Team reached out to police in Pennsylvania for more information and did not hear back Monday. The U.S. Attorneys Office would neither confirm nor deny any ongoing investigations.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) Road Equity Alliance Project says the "Crosswalk Fairy" will make its debut on the morning of Oct. 26 to help drivers, walkers, parents and kids remember the rules of the road as this is the most dangerous time of year for vulnerable road users.

Be on the lookout for the fairy on Boulder Highway, a street with a long reputation for being dangerous for those not in vehicles.

So far this year, there have been four pedestrians killed, four critically injured and one bicyclist killed on the street.

Two of the critical injuries happened on Oct. 16 in the dark, when two adults and an infant were crossing at the crosswalk and were struck by a vehicle, the young man was then also struck by an RV.

The crash force ejected the infant from his stroller, and he sustained critical injuries, as did the 19-year-old man.

The organization reminds drivers and pedestrians as the three-day Nevada Day/Halloween weekend approaches to be aware of their surroundings while on the road.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Traffic, Clark County School District Police, North Las Vegas Police, Henderson Police and Nevada Highway Patrol will all be taking part tomorrow.

'The Crosswalk Fairy' will be out on Boulder Highway in Las Vegas - KTNV Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) County Commissioner Justin Jones kick-started a new road construction project Monday morning which will add lanes for vehicles and bicyclists along Fort Apache Road in the southwest valley.

The project will widen Fort Apache Road between Huntington Cove Parkway and Warm Springs Road to create two lanes for vehicles plus a bicycle lane on each side of the road, according to Clark County.

Much of the current roadway has one traffic lane in each direction.

More than 17,000 residents drive this part of Ft. Apache every day, Jones said. This project will make the road safer and more efficient for drivers and bicyclists, who today often share one crowded lane.

The project is expected to be finished in summer 2022 and will also include storm-drain improvements and traffic signal upgrades.

Aggregate Industries is the contractor on the project.
