A Marshall County native police say wooed and stole from women from Oregon to Indiana claims he’s just unemployed. Raymond Holycross told a judge in South Bend he last worked three months ago. He faces theft charges in St. Joseph County after a woman he met online last summer reportedly discovered he had stolen and pawned her camera and called the police. That prompted her to do some checking into Holycross’s background. That’s when authorities say she learned he also uses the names Ray Paris and Ray Cross to meet women, earn their trust and charm them out of their money. Holycross is also wanted on a Howard County warrant for theft of a firearm.
