A woman found hiding in the Branson area has been sentenced to prison for 25 years for a large fraud scheme. The woman, Janet Mavis Marcusse, had been on the lam from Michigan for a couple of years when she was found near Branson, living in a cabin. She was part of a scheme to defraud almost 600 people and launder the money through bank accounts of nonexistent churches. The government thinks the total loss was almost $13-Million.
