2 more of Rita Crundwell's houses sell in Dixon

DIXON, Ill. (AP) — U.S. Marshals say they've sold two more properties that belonged to imprisoned former Dixon comptroller Rita Crundwell, including a house and farmland to her brother.

The Telegraph in Dixon reports (http://bit.ly/15lWD8b) the U.S. Marshals Service said Thursday that they closed the property sales on Monday. The sales brought in just more than $1 million. Crundwell was imprisoned earlier this month after she was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison for stealing more than $53 million from the northern Illinois city.

Crundwell's brother, Richard Humphrey Sr. bought a house and 40 acres of farmland for about $600,000. Dixon residents Wesley and Tammi Sherman bought another house for $400,000. Crundwell's nephew previously purchased her horse ranch for $1.1 million.

One property is left to sell, a vacation home in Florida.
