According to Olvera's daughter Rebecca Schultz, "Cathy Elliot had kidnapped my father from his Sun City Anthem home so I couldn't see him. That caused me to contact the Guardianship Commissioner's office for “help”. A woman answering the phone for Jon Norheim referred me directly to Jared Shafer, giving me his unlisted home phone number. Shafer then referred me to his friend and attorney Elyse Tyrell,who had me sign temporary papers making Shafer guardian to get rid of the “exploiter” Elliott.
Everything Tyrell told me was one big fat lie, and as soon as Shafer was temporary guardian, Tyrell told me she “worked for Jared,” even though I had paid her to help me."
Schultz continued; “After Shafer and Tyrell removed my father from Cathy Elliot, I found it very disturbing that neither Shafer nor Tyrell did anything to pursue charges against Elliot or to complain to Sun City Anthem, given the fact that Tyrell stated to my husband and I that she had no doubt Elliot was an exploiter.”
