Kalona woman found guilty, husband not guilty of insurance fraud

A Washington County jury has found a Kalona woman guilty and her husband not guilty of insurance fraud charges.

Roger and Lynne Holdeman were charged with three counts of insurance fraud for allegedly attempting to obtain two $1 million life insurance policies and a $75,000 policy in 2006 on a former resident of a nursing home where they had worked.

On April 21, Lynne Holdeman was found guilty on all three counts. She is scheduled to be sentenced on May 21.

The same jury found Roger Holdeman not guilty on all three counts.

The Holdemans reportedly invited the resident to move into their private home in 2005. Roger Holdeman was business manager and Lynne Holdeman was director of nursing at Greenwood Manor in Iowa City.

Holdeman left Greenwood Manor in March 2007, about four months after his wife's employment ended.
