      The Army never caught her. The IRS did. They noticed she owned too many properties for her claimed income and the IRS investigated. She wasn't even working for the Army when the IRS caught onto her. She'd taken a job here in San Antonio for the Labor Department for some DEI type programs. The IRS told the Army something was fishy and they investigated.
