It seems the Linda Harmon story is not yet done. The former Jackson socialite and current fugitive apparently engaged in some identity theft according to Newschannel5 in Tennessee:
"FRANKLIN, Tenn.- There may be more victims of the woman accused of scamming investors out of money and then abandoning her children. New surveillance video of her has surfaced. Franklin Police said she was caught on tape withdrawing money that doesn't belong to her.
Franklin Police are still looking for 45 year old Linda Peach Harmon. She disappeared in December. She was captured on a surveillance camera at a bank inside a Brentwood convenience store. Investigators say she was withdrawing money that doesn't belong to her.
"We know she does have ties to neighboring states, which are all part of the investigation under way trying to get her into custody," said Charles Warner with the Franklin Police Department.
Investigators believe Harmon embezzled nearly $50,000 from investors in New York. Now police believe there are other victims.
"We've gotten calls from across the United States from people that both claim to know her possible where-abouts where she either has been or maybe located in the future as well as information from other victims from not only the region but across the United States who also claim to be victimized by Linda Harmon," said Warner.
Police say Harmon used the stolen money to pay part of her lavish life style that included an estate in Franklin. In December officers went there looking for her. Harmon's two sons told police she was gone.
Later, they were arrested for lying and helping their mother escape. Police have a hard time believing Harmon would abandon her family, but they say it's not unusual for her to pick up and move.
"The time that she spent here she moved from several different locations into several new homes. She doesn't stay in one place for very long," said Warner..." Newschannel5 story WITH video
Ms. Harmon is also suspected of committing mortgage fraud of approximately $900,000 in the sale of her Jackson home in 2006.

This is one of the most bizarre developing stories.
Dang, she kind of looks like Donna Ladd there.
How could she do all that for so long? Does she know Madoff?
She moves around. Has lived in Texas and Missouri. Lived here for quite a while but the judgements started piling up. I think she presents herself has a high class socialite and when she rips off people, they are too embarrassed to admit it or let anyone know. I think now this is being exposed, more people are starting to realize this and come forward. I think there will be more revelations.
She's never lived in Missouri. She did live in Florida and went to college there.
The newscaster originally said she had ties to Missouri instead of Mississippi in the newscast because the abbreviation was MS.
I wondered about that when I saw it. I stand corrected. Thanks.
My husband and I ran into her while watching a basketball game at a local bar in Franklin, TN a couple months ago. You're right, she presented herself as a high class professional and would not stop talking to us. She went on to brag about her home and her 'investments' and the returns she had seen from them. Little did she know, my husband is an investment banker...you know, legal investments and he knew she was full of crap. I guess she finally figured out we were not interested in her scam and left (we were glad for some peace and quite). It is sad that people try to take advantage of others especially in economic times like these. Hope they find the piece of trash.
Took that down for a reason. you're smart. You'll figure out why. not a bad reason either.
i dont care what yall say but i have know Mrs. harmon since i was little and i went to school with her son Tanner and she is one of the nicest ladies. She made one mistake, she is not a bad lady.
I met this lady while spending 13 days Franklin co jail for a minor driving offense. She recently made bail and is staying with friends, looking to relocate to the Green Hills area. She doesn't believe that she has committed any sort of crime whatsoever. She was in Franklin co jail for a little over a year, and her bond was reduced to 125,000$ which is what she paid to get out. Her business website was shut down by the government. She once again, doesn't believe she has done anything wrong, and says that this is just a civil case gone wrong.
