Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest #1. To: All (#0) The Startle Gram finally posted a news story @ 11:35 tonight. Here. ------------------------------- The name is written with a flourish across the middle of the check: Pay to the order of Nondi I. Gurley, $25,000. The check was intended as a donation to the American Red Cross from a prominent Dallas businessman and his philanthropist wife on Dec. 22, 2008. Instead, it was abandoned four months later in the tube at a bank drive-through in Arlington. Now the check is at the center of a criminal case against a former Red Cross worker accused of diverting the donation and trying to use it for herself. Gurley, 31, a Chicago-area native who was living in Grand Prairie at the time, is in the Tarrant County Jail without bail, accused of forgery, breach of fiduciary responsibilities and the use of a co-worker's Red Cross credit card to make personal purchases at Wal-Mart. She is also facing bail-jumping charges for absconding after her initial arrest in 2009. The case and others in Illinois have raised questions about Gurley's work at a string of nonprofits, including Mothers Against Drunk Driving, where she worked for just five months in 2008 in the organization's Irving headquarters. MADD officials confirmed her tenure there but would not comment on the reasons for her departure. Gurley, in a jailhouse interview, told the Star-Telegram that she "panicked" when she saw the $25,000 check because she was overloaded with medical bills after undergoing treatment for a second bout with uterine cancer. "I really wasn't thinking clearly at the time," Gurley said. "I never intended to hurt anyone. I just feel like I went into panic mode." She has asked state District Judge Robb Catalano for mercy in two handwritten letters urging him to consider probation. The letters do not mention her conviction this year in Illinois on unrelated forgery charges and previous shoplifting and theft convictions. Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney Christy Jack, who is prosecuting the case, said she has a "healthy skepticism" about Gurley's claims of medical problems, which surfaced after her arrest as a fugitive. "The reality is that defendants as well as everyday citizens suffer from a variety of medical conditions that are beyond their control," Jack said. "Their conduct is not. We stand ready to prove her guilt. Those who support nonprofit organizations, like the Red Cross, reflect the best side of humanity. Anyone who steals from a charity like that represents the worst." 'Articulate, outgoing' By all appearances, Gurley was a perfect employee for a nonprofit organization. Young, attractive, well-spoken, educated and familiar with one of the proprietary database systems used worldwide by nonprofit organizations to manage contributions and donor lists, she was able to step right in and begin work immediately. Natasha Smith, deputy director of a Chicago literacy organization where Gurley was a development manager, said Gurley was a bright face in the office when she was hired in July 2011. "She was very articulate, very outgoing, would be here all the time working," Smith said. "I can't say anything ill about her other than the baggage that she was carrying around that clearly blew up in her face. I feel very bad for her." Smith said Gurley had been working for the nonprofit for about two months when officials with badges came to the office looking for her. Gurley wasn't there, but Smith said she later learned that the young woman had been arrested. Smith said her organization has found no evidence that Gurley committed any wrongdoing while she worked there. She said that the organization ran another background check on Gurley after the arrest but that it did not raise red flags that would have alerted the group to fugitive warrants or pending criminal charges. The literacy organization was the latest in a long line of nonprofits that had hired Gurley since her first arrest in the Chicago area in 1997, including an AIDS hospice, a volunteer service organization and a large Catholic school in the Chicago area. Gurley told the Star-Telegram that she also worked from 2006 to 2008 for Blackbaud, a South Carolina-based company that developed the software used widely by nonprofits. Officials with Blackbaud and the other nonprofits did not comment about Gurley's tenure. A missing check Gurley surfaced in Texas in 2008 when she began working for MADD in its Irving headquarters. Gurley said she was a manager for the organization and helped oversee grant writing and donor relations for MADD offices nationwide. MADD officials confirmed that she worked there from February to July 2008 but would not discuss her employment or the reasons she left. In October 2008, Gurley began working for the American Red Cross office in Dallas overseeing the direct mail campaigns and holiday mailers. Red Cross officials confirmed her employment but did not detail her job responsibilities. By the time she left two months later, on Dec. 31, 2008, she was already under investigation by Arlington police on allegations that she had obtained a co-worker's Red Cross credit card and used it to buy personal items at a Wal-Mart in Arlington, according to a sworn statement submitted to a judge by police. Before Gurley could be arrested on the credit card complaint, Red Cross officials notified police that she was also believed to have obtained the $25,000 check, altered it and tried to deposit it into a newly created personal account at an Arlington bank, according to the sworn statement. The check was originally made out to the American Red Cross from Richard and Nancy Rogers of Dallas. Richard Rogers is executive chairman of Mary Kay Inc. in Dallas and the son of the company's founder, Mary Kay Ash. Nancy Rogers has been described by Aspen Magazine as a "philanthropic powerhouse and style icon." Richard and Nancy Rogers were not available for comment, but Charlotte McKinney, an accountant who signed the check on the couple's behalf, said Nancy Rogers had wanted to donate to the American Red Cross. Gurley's name was on the form sent by the Red Cross, and the check was sent by overnight express, according to police. "It was just one of the charities Mrs. Rogers wanted to donate to," McKinney said. "The Red Cross did not realize she was a crook." Gurley was arrested April 15, 2009, near her home in Grand Prairie and later indicted. An arrest warrant was issued after she failed to appear in court in March 2010, and she remained at large until her arrest on Sept. 28, 2011, by Chicago police and the Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force. Red Cross officials have since changed their internal procedures to increase safeguards, according to the police statement. A string of charges Gurley had four outstanding arrest warrants, including the one from Texas, when the fugitive task force picked her up in 2011. In Illinois, an arrest warrant was issued in July 2001 for failure to appear in court on two felony forgery charges filed in 1999 in McDonough County. She was accused of forging the signature of another woman on a $70.60 check passed at Wal-Mart and of forging the woman's name as a co-signer on an application for a $9,500 student loan to a South Dakota bank. It was not the first time she had failed to appear in court on the case; the court files include a handwritten letter she sent to the judge in 2000 apologizing for missing court and asking "for another chance." Gurley also had outstanding warrants from Cook County, Ill., for violating terms of court supervision -- similar to probation in Texas -- on misdemeanor convictions for unlawful use of a credit card and retail theft/shoplifting, both in 2001, according to court records. She had also been arrested for shoplifting in 1997, but that misdemeanor charge was dismissed in 1998 after what appears to have been three months of deferred adjudication, court records indicate. She pleaded guilty in January to the McDonough County forgery charges and was discharged with probationlike conditions after receiving credit for 105 days served in the county jail, according to court records. She was ordered to pay restitution and $1,394 in court costs before being sent to Tarrant County on Jan. 28 to face the charges here. Pleas for mercy Today, Gurley, a onetime marathon runner, sits in the Tarrant County Jail, hoping for one more chance. "I think that I'm a good person in my heart," she said. "I would like a chance to prove myself." When asked what happened with the Red Cross check, she said, "I got sick with cancer." She said she had chemotherapy, radiation and four surgeries for endometrial carcinoma before she graduated from college in 2003. While still working for Blackbaud, she said, she came to Texas in August 2007 with a friend she described as her "partner" from Chicago. After she got to Texas, she said, she learned that the cancer had returned. "There were a lot of medical bills that piled up that I was still paying from 2003, that I was thinking about when I found out again" about the cancer, she said. The bills, she said, "depleted me, all my savings, all my money and everything." She said she parted ways with her friend after being arrested and decided to return to Chicago. Gurley said she had two months of radiation treatment after going home and underwent additional testing after arriving at the Tarrant County Jail. She said that those tests indicate an abnormality but that she wants to learn her fate in court before deciding whether to seek treatment here. She said that she's engaged to a man she met in high school and that her relatives -- including her twin brother -- have been supportive. As she told Judge Catalano in a letter written Feb. 28: "This is truly a humbling experience. I am over a thousand miles from home, I have no family here in Texas and it seems like this nightmare will never end. "God is about to work through you to help me," she wrote. "I pray for your mercy and kindness." She told the Star-Telegram that she is hoping for probation and pledges to meet every demand the court might set for her. "I'm a very diligent person," she said. "I'm very compassionate, and that's why I stayed in nonprofits. ... I'm very family-oriented. I'm very loyal and faithful with my friends and relationships. "I don't want to be remembered as a criminal." Dianna Hunt, 817-390-7084 Abcdefg  posted on  2012-04-08   1:00:49 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #2.
