Stolen home in Southern Nevada

Thousands of homes sell every month in Southern Nevada, but it seems they rarely, if ever, trade hands under the circumstances surrounding the one at 809 Palmhurst Drive. After owner Carole Barnish died in August, Shalena Earnheart filed a deed for the house and a probate case for Barnish’s estate. Earnheart said she was Barnish’s “only help” and “constant companion” for many years. But long-time neighbors say they’d never seen or heard of Earnheart until she took title to the home. She’s been accused of forgery and of repeatedly breaking into and ransacking Barnish’s house.
