Salt Lake City police say a 22-year-old woman on their most wanted list is in New York. Now they want to find her and bring her back to faces charges of forgery and theft by deception.
Police Sgt. Fred Ross said an extradition warrant was recently issued for Kari Michelle Ferrell. It is the most recent in a handful of outstanding warrants totalling $60,000 that the former Utah resident is wanted on in connection with forgery, issuing bad checks and theft, according to the police department's Web site. Ferrell's manipulative past was profiled Wednesday by The New York Observer in a story titled, "The Hipster Grifter." It paints her as a liar, schemer and thief.
Some of her old friends in Utah agree with the publication's portrayal. Geoff Sink was friends with Ferrell when she was 11 years old and the two later attended Copper Hills High School in West Jordan. After high school, and her parent's divorce, Ferrell started buying expensive clothes and makeup and bouncing bad checks, Sink said. To help her with her finances, he agreed to deposit one of her checks in his bank account and then withdraw the money so she could pay bills, Sink said. Her check bounced. When he confronted her, she blew him off and only later paid back about half the money, he said. Sink hasn't spoken with Ferrell since shortly after that incident in 2006. But he has read the Observer .
