A woman has pleaded guilty to Social Security fraud for obtaining loans and going to a Missouri college using the stolen identity of her estranged daughter, according to federal prosecutors.

The woman, Laura A. Oglesby, 48, pleaded guilty to one count of Social Security fraud and agreed to pay at least $17,000 in restitution to Southwest Baptist University for obtaining $9,400 in federal student loans, $5,920 in Pell Grants and over $2,000 for books and fees, the Justice Department said in a statement Monday.

Schwien’s investigation revealed that Oglesby was, indeed, living nearby, working at the public library under an assumed identity — her daughter’s. that she “obtained lines of credit, obtained funds from multiple colleges, and a drivers license," which she used under her daughter's name.
