Tulsa Woman Faces Charges in Complex Fraud Case Involving Elderly Victim and Deed Scam

TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa County law enforcement has revealed that two initially separate investigations merged when they discovered a single suspect—Briana Points—at the center of both. Points is now facing criminal charges tied to a stolen house plot and a financially exploitative scheme involving a vulnerable elderly man with dementia.

Property Theft via Fake Quit Claim Deed by Tulsa Woman

Investigators say Points attempted to illicitly transfer home ownership using a fraudulent quit claim deed, a scheme intended to shift property rights from the rightful owner to herself. The deed, once submitted, could have stripped the homeowner—who had no knowledge of the scheme—of legal title without their consent.

Deputy Richie Gonzales stated, “Investigators determined the deed appeared legitimate at first glance, but our title insurance office raised red flags during the verification process.”

Elderly Victim Defrauded by Conspiracy

Simultaneously, Points is accused—alongside three identified collaborators—of defrauding an elderly Tulsa resident living with dementia. Court filings suggest the group convinced the man to transfer substantial funds under false pretenses, exploiting his diminished capacity and trust in them.

“The victim knew them, believed they were doing him a favor, and transferred money,” Gonzales said. “We’re seeing a disturbing pattern of repeated exploitation.”

Decade-Long Criminal History Raises Alarm

Records show Points has been arrested several times since 2011, facing charges that include narcotics possession, theft, and possession of stolen property. At the time of the latest charges, she was still on probation for prior fraud and drug-related convictions—raising questions of supervision and recidivist behavior.

Ongoing Investigation and Legal Process

The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate all ties between Points and her alleged accomplices. Prosecutors are reviewing evidence for potential racketeering or elder abuse enhancements, which could significantly increase penalties if convicted.

Points has been remanded until her first court appearance. The district attorney’s office has signaled an aggressive prosecution stance given the vulnerable status of one of the victims and the sophisticated nature of the fraud.

Broader Issues Highlighted by Case

Legal experts say cases like this showcase critical gaps in protections for the elderly and highlight the potential risks posed by private dealings using forged documents. They recommend:

• Strengthening verification protocols at title companies and public record offices

• Expanding oversight of guardianship and elder care transactions

• Supporting nonprofits that educate seniors on financial fraud
