Two more Isenberg daughters plead guilty in Coeur d’Alene to receiving stolen funds

Two more daughters of Laurcene “Lori” Isenberg, in addition to those who were sentenced in federal court Tuesday in Coeur d’Alene, have pleaded guilty to receiving thousands of dollars that Isenberg stole from the North Idaho Housing Coalition.

April E. Barnes and Traci Tesch appeared before U.S. District Court Judge Edward Lodge on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit federal program theft.

Isenberg, who remains under investigation for the suspicious death of her husband in February, has pleaded guilty to embezzling about $580,000 from the housing coalition, which helps poor people find affordable housing. She faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison.

The pleas Wednesday by Barnes and Tesch now makes four of Isenberg’s daughters who have pleaded guilty to receiving funds that Isenberg stole from the housing coalition.

On Tuesday, Jessica Barnes and Amber A. Hosking received three years of probation and 100 hours of community service. Hosking must repay $16,500 and Barnes owes $15,500.
