CLEVELAND — A local estate sales business owner was in court today facing six felony theft charges. This follows a News 5 hidden camera investigation that exposed problems and claims of her stealing money and items from clients.
Former client Cindy Hauck remembers a conversation with Galayda. “‘I didn’t really sell that much,’” said Hauck about what Galayda told her after the sale. “Well, wait a minute, Jessica. There’s a lot of stuff gone from my house,” Hauck remembered saying. Angie Swanson said Galayda kept a bunch of money from her sale that Galayda had no right to. “It’s about her not having any empathy for people in their life struggles,” said Swanson.
