The Uber driver was a victim of the same con. She was summoned by the grifters to the man’s house to retrieve a purported package for delivery. William J. Brock is facing murder charges filed this week. The 81-year-old has pleaded not guilty. The family of 61-year-old Uber driver Loletha Hall is grieving.
