"Serial Squatter" Heather Schwab now a wanted woman in Texas

- A serial squatter we’ve been reporting on for years, Heather Schwab, is now a wanted woman.
We’ve told you about her history of moving into dozens of homes and then refusing to pay rent. Now for the first time ever, there’s a felony warrant for her arrest in Texas.
Why has it been so hard to have her arrested and stopped? Oh, right: because there are no serious anti-squatter laws!! We need to petition for this to change!!!
AMEN
the lady is sick, she gets off on this
She is simply another version of criminal taking advantage of legal loopholes where crime isn’t being punished. It might be fun to point at CA and say things about how they seem to invite criminal activity. Maybe Abbott and Paxton need to be alerted to the issue. DeSantis got plenty tuff in FL because of squatters being an issue…wake up call!!
Yes...the judge will set $1000 bond. 🙄 Someone will end up getting killed over this crap and it will be the "system's" fault.
Fraud is not a civil matter. Theft is not a civil matter. Property destruction is not a civil matter.
Cops handing out advice so their job is easier, and they are NOT lawyers, so they should quit handing out legal advice.
Thank you!!!! 👍👍
She wrote bad checks I know guys sitting in prison on false checks how she could write false checks and run around.
The problem is not bad checks, it's her actual checks but writing them knowing that there is no sufficient funds in the bank. That's another thing. That's why she keeps getting away with it
@@sopamarucha2388 That is what a bad check is. A check there is not money in the bank to cover.
@@sopamarucha2388 yes, a check, especially if post dated, is a PROMISE to pay, and a promise is not enforceable. That's why back in the day when renters would give me, and I'd accept a check, I'd NOT want it post-dated. It's useless. Or I'd walk into the branch and 'Hammer~ the check at their branch: pay to have it certified. sometimes in one business I went to my clients branch three times before money covered the check.
@@sopamarucha2388 Dude, wake up! you abv never have a bank account n check.
she shouldve been arrested years ago
She did
Glad the police decided to “give it a try” and arrest the woman who has stolen tens if not, hundreds of thousands of dollars from property owners as well stealing the identity of an innocent person.
Yes indeed. BRAVO to Rowlett police!
Wasn’t Colorado supposed to extradite her to Texas after she served her time in Colorado ? She’s up to her old tricks again..
3rd degree felony fraud? How about 1st degree theft? WTH? How low are the rental values in Texas? Talk about fascilitating criminal behavior. HOw about suspending driver's and automobile licenses for wanted criminals? What a joke
How could this be going on for years? Now suddenly, wow, we have an arrest warrant. So what. Apparently she was able to get away with her actions for years, so now they have paperwork and in the end she'll be back doing what she's been doing for years. Do not tell me she's that intelligent that she knows all the loopholes. Why wasn't she ever arrested for breaking and entering? It's a stupid story that never has an ending.
We have to fight to have the 'squatters rights' law to be abolished as soon as possible.
What a winner. So sad that the laws are so pathetic that it takes that long
Background checks matter. And why would you let someone move in on a personal check? First month and security should be cash, teller check, or money order.
She is also writing bad checks, defrauding, theft of rent by deception, etc.
My mom is married too Heather's father in law ,so Heather's ex hubby is my step brother that I haven't met yet.im a landlord and I feel for the landlors,bad tenants are pretty bad too deal with.what I remember talking too my mom 👩 about heather, years ago was my mom would just roll her eyes like she thought they were a hot mess too deal with,I had no idea it was like criminal behavior.
So Heather and William schwab divorced.
0:58 Why not wait until the 1st check clears before giving her a key. If the land lord would have waited until the 1st check cleared or did not clear, all of this would have been avoided.
or better, yet "NO CHECKS ACCEPTED"
@@sandyrediska I agree.
What happens when the second check bounces?
@@FracturedReality777 Then they should be evicted within 2 weeks from filing (if this country were running on all cylinders).
Texas change your squatting laws immediately. Honest law abiding tax paying citizens should not have to go through the courts to evict a squatter/criminal. Governor DeSantis did this immediately so we know it can be done.
Everyone keep an eye out for this woman.
Shame on Dallas (area) Police leadership for having to be forced to do their job. Thanks to the individuals willing to give this attention enough that bad actors (criminals) cannot always rely on other bad actors (apathetic leaders) not addressing the best interests of the people. Let’s hope that the DA will get serious as well…oftentimes it is unwilling or uncooperative prosecutors that stifle police work because “why bother if they won’t do anything”.
It is my hope that “someone” will make this an issue enough that the serial squatters cannot just move down the road and hurt more people. Does the FBI still do public service work or are they only working for politicians now?
Wouldn’t it be grand if the true leaders in Dallas could take this personal and live up to the “Don’t mess with Texas” ?
She’s evidently smart enough not to break into politicians’ or judges’ houses.
We need to *all* contact our state legislators and Abbot. All.
About damn time. Are you paying attention, Governor Abbot? Hats off to Rowlett LEO and CBS Texas for this report.
She should have been ok, not wanted by police, if she was smarter, committing this kind of fraud in California, not Texas or Florida !
Is this the lady that was now murdered?
Yes. Heather Louise Schwab. Her body was found in McKinney at a guy's house.
I’m wondering the same thing ?
No, Sorry you we're told wrong... Its not the same lady they just happened to have the same name the " Serial Squatter' was married with several kids and much older
if you watch the news clips/stories on both cases you will see that these are two different women.
Thanks Sue
Just another example of elected officials not doing their job! Pass laws to promptly deal with squatters! Fl did!
So she’s left Rowlett and is on the lamb? Will keep an eye out for her here in Austin-though our DA would give her a PR bond worst case.
*IRREDEEMABLE CAREER CRIMINALS*
At this point, yes. If they can be rehabbed or not is an irrelevant issue. The main issue now is protecting the public.
in almost any law that i've dealt with, if your INTENT is to scam (renting, buying, leasing, trading, doesn't matter) you have committed a crime if it can be proven. whether the cheque is in your real name or not, or your original cheques clear, then don't, your INTENT is key for any D.A. , Crown Counsel in Canada, where ever.
I am glad she was got out of that poor couple's home in part because of CBS. As in the US most landlords in the UK have one property only and are not very rich people on the whole. My sons who live with me have one property each they let out and nothing else.
Any update?
It took Texas for ever …Texas gov is weak on this kind of crime….
She's been in prison and got out in 2023 and did it again.
How does she get in? No rental history?
She pretended to be a family member. Fruad.
May her a state prison tenant for the next 20 years
Bayhealth no good, a patient in dover de left hospital. He said You saved my life. Took him home and he then went to bebe hospital in lewes.
If the right law is in place this should not have happened. They have this squatters rights in place, so lawyers and judges will have some something to work on. They know something is bound to happen with this stupid law They device to keep them busy and a job.
The Landlords don't seem to have a problem renting to this woman even with her shady background. I guess they felt that she was someone that they could trust.
its bcus she is white with fake blond hair. we all know that why. imagine if she is women of color.
Okay, it has been 5 months. Surely she has been arrested by now. Or is she still as free as a bird and scamming some poor sucker as I type this?
What happened to her husband?
racked up 20 evictions in texas alone?!?! shes a revolutionary!!!
keep squattin my people! we can do it!
*Reminds me in a way of PACIFIC HEIGHTS starring Michael Keaton*
What happened to her husband?? Plus, her kids???
Yes!
This is like a movie - catch me if you can part 2
Do not be surprised if these, in cybersecurity-speak, black hat hackers ------ become white hat hacker celebrities, in their own "industry". Life is Hollywood. Crime is Hollywood.
Maybe you should have served the warrant 20 houses ago😅
How the hell did she pass the background checks?
Well what was she supposed to do? Everybody knows these squatters get away with it all the time. Cops won't even arrest them, calling it a "civil matter". She just thought she might as well live rent free too. You can't hardly blame her.
Watch out there is a squatter name Charlie Robinson who lives in Texas
HMM NEW Home She wont have to pay rent for?
I thought she’d been sentenced to prison
I hope police find this woman!
Nobody wants to pay rent but too bad that's the way it goes
I simply do not understand why our tax funded law enforcement agencies will all refuse to get involved and prosecute these fraudulent tenant/serial squatter schemes. Just laziness I suppose.
what happened to the dog?
Let her "squat" in a jail cell for around 10 years or so.
So what the police are saying is we blew the couple off until the media came asking. You had to be put on blast before you did your job.
How does she pass background checks?
Stolen identity this time
James and called well and Bill westfall anything else
“At that point is when we opened an investigation”… Mr. Police Chief, you should have opened an investigation as soon as you received the report from the homeowners, had you checked the name of the woman being reported.
IM. VERY. TIRED. OF. SQUATTERS. BECAUSE. THE. A. STATE. ALLOW. FOR. THIS. TO. HAPPEN. AND. I. DONT. HAVE. A. HOUSE
I was looking for a pic of Heather Schwab that was killed recently. RIP
Not the same person
Put her in prison for Life.
They need to put her and her husband life in prison.
Well her name is Schwab so the owners will rent to her sans background check and she is blond
The so these idiots are still free and there are still landlords that don't do background checks? Honestly, after all these years, I don't feel bad for landlords that don't do background checks and just follow their gut and say "they looked like good people 🤪"
The usual suspect
She deserves to be in Prison
Sadly it's a case of you get what you voted.
isnt TX a castle doctrine state, it seems it would be a simple solve
dead squatters don't re-squat
I don't feel bad for landlords at all. Greedy selfish people buying up properties just to make a profit when there is such a housing crisis happening now. Crap like this is going to be more common. Am I saying squatting is ok? No. But people want to buy investment properties are going to have to deal with squatters.
Just like you hate on corporations who give dopes like you a job.
When you are further along in life and happen into a room or house you need to rent, I suspect your tune will change.
And that's why rents are up, properties will be harder to find. Any time more 'tenants rights' are issued, rents must go up to compensate.
How do you not know where she is? She is a serial squatter she knows where to go.
