On June 17th, 2025, the arrest of Marijane Rilley and Glenn James Stenzel, ages 69 and 64, was announced by Mercer County Prosecutor Janetta D. Marbrey. Marijane Rilley and Glenn James Stenzel were charged with one count of second-degree theft of property lost, mislaid, or delivered by mistake. The arrest and charges against Marijane Riley and Glenn James were a result of an investigation launched by the Tarrant County (TX) District Attorney’s Office, the Collin County (TX) Sheriff’s Office, and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Cyber Crimes Task Force under the direction of Detective Michael Smith.
According to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, a small business owner based in Trenton, New Jersey, claimed that he had been a victim of an online email scam. The email that was opened redirected a wire transfer fund meant for his bank account to a different unknown account. Detectives found that the funds were wired to a Key Bank linked to Marijane Rilley. Surveillance caught Marijane Rilley to have accessed an ATM in Marietta, New York that detectives allege she used to transfer the majority of the money to Glenn James Stenzel in Granbury, Texas. One of the accounts still currently holds thirty-thousand dollars which is being preserved pending legal action.
The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office stated that the charges against Marijane Rilley and Glenn James Stenzel are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
