The pair were loading personal items that were inside her home into a pickup truck, according to a prosecutor’s office.

“When I drove by I saw this truck in the driveway. A woman was loading every single last thing in my home into (the truck),” the woman previously told News Center 7. “It was packed to the top.”

The woman said that Gross claimed to be collection items for donations to Goodwill.
