Eugene and Ann Breznock had not moved. They had lived in the same house in Winters, California, for more than 30 years.

That is how CBS13 Sacramento’s Call Kurtis team described the discovery in a May 2021 report . “It’s just pure theft!” Eugene told the station. According to CBS13, the couple had not touched the account for three years or had any contact with Schwab.
