Keri Colleen Beck and Joshua Ray Bergeron have been indicted for fraudulent use of identifying information.
A sheriff's deputy said in a probable cause affidavit that he had a search warrant related to narcotics on Jan. 19 when the cache of other people's ID’s were found at a home in the 1500 block of 27th Street in Nederland.
The affidavit says more than 50 personal "identifying information" items were found in a black nylon duffel bag.
Some of the items appeared to have been stolen out of the mail without the victims knowing the items had been taken. Additionally, one victim is dead.
The victims have since been contacted and notified that Beck had their IDs.
