Dangerous house calls.
How much do you know about the people working in your home?

June 28 — Most of us can't imagine inviting a convicted felon into our home.
However, many families are doing just that.
The recent revelation that Utah police investigating the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart are focusing attention on an ex-convict who worked as a handyman in the Smarts' home is bringing more attention to the problem. Criminal background checks are required for workers in some professions — like teachers, school bus drivers and some health-care workers — but they are not mandated for most other jobs.
As a result, all around the country there are examples of home service companies
taking on dangerous employees. In Kansas City, ex-convict Wesley Purkey was working as a plumber when he beat to death an 80-year-old woman. In California, ex-convict Mesa Kasem worked as a deliveryman for an auction house when he and an accomplice murdered one of the clients. And in Pennsylvania, convicted felon John Cramer was working as a meter reader when he raped a woman in her home. In each of these cases the employer did not conduct a criminal background check.
Some law enforcement officials believe all employers who provide home services should conduct background checks and they should not hire anyone with a criminal record. There are, tragically, many examples that bolster his argument.
Six years ago, Don and Terina Ferminick and their and five-month-old daughter had just moved to Alameda, Calif., where Don took a position as a church minister. "Our life was wonderful," Ferminick says of his life then. But Ferminick's family was permanently scarred when Giles Nadey came to clean the carpets of the church rectory.
Terina went to the rectory to pay Nadey and never returned. That evening Ferminick went to check on Terina and found his wife stabbed to death and covered with blood. There was even blood on the walls. "I guess through the course of events, he sodomized her, and I guess to cover up what he had done he decided to take her life," Ferminick says.
Nadey was later convicted of the murder and sentenced to death. What was particularly troubling to Ferminick was the thought that his wife's murder might have been prevented. Had Nadey's employers bothered to run a background check, they would have learned that he had two previous felony convictions. Nadey even acknowledged his criminal record on his job application, but the company still hired him to clean carpets in people's homes. Read more.
