SAN MARCOS – A couple whose house was raided by a fraud task force may be linked to their appearance on the “Dr. Phil” television show.
A couple appeared on an episode of the TV show titled “Shoplifting Confessions” Nov. 19, saying they were “professional shoplifters” who have amassed nearly $1 million in stolen goods, according to the show's Web site. They were identified as Laura and a man who used the names Matthew and Allen.
A lawyer representing Laura and Matthew A. Eaton of San Marcos said the couple appeared on the show in November, but declined to say whether they were guests on that episode or to discuss it further.
A spokesman for the San Diego Regional Fraud Task Force, which conducted the raid on the house on the 1400 block of Leslie Court on Thursday, wouldn't disclose the reason for the raid or if it was connected to the TV show.
“It's still early on in the investigation,” said Greg Meyer, special agent in charge of the U.S. Secret Service San Diego Field Office. “There have been no arrests at this point and no indictments at this point.”
According to the TV show's Web site, a woman named Laura said the couple stole goods in other states, such as Arizona and Nevada, to avoid being recognized.
