Who remembers Henrietta Hughes?

There was something strange about President Barack Obama’s town hall gathering in Fort Myers, Fla., Tuesday. No, it wasn’t the tear-jerker media moment “44″ had with Henrietta C. Hughes. Instead, it was three documents I found the next day in the Lee County, Fla., Court Clerk’s online database that appear to shed new light on the plight of the 61-year-old woman who told the president that she and her son, Corey, had been homeless for more than a year, did not have jobs and were in need of “more than a vehicle to live in.”
The documents I found are listed below:
■On Oct. 29, 2001, Henrietta C. Hughes and her son, Corey L. Hughes, took on a $124,400 mortgage;
■On Oct. 16, 2003, Henrietta C. Hughes and her son, Corey L. Hughes, paid off that mortgage as evidenced by the filing of a satisfaction document; and
■On Aug. 9, 2006, Henrietta C. Hughes filed a Quit Claim Deed that effectively turned over all rights to the paid-off an adjacent piece of property listed in the documents above to her son, Corey L. Hughes.
Though it’s possible that more than one person in the Fort Myers area goes by the name, Henrietta C. Hughes, and lives with her son, I think I’m on target for two reasons:
■I contacted Gabriella Souza, a staff writer with The News-Press in Fort Myers, and she replied via e-mail, stating, “Yes, her middle name does begin with a ‘C’”; and
■Every listing for “Henrietta Hughes” in the Lee County (Fla.) online database includes “C” as the middle initial.
Regardless of whether the woman listed in the documents highlighted above is the same person who spoke to President Obama, a quick review of those documents makes me wonder how any two people can possess the wherewithal to pay off a six-figure mortgage in less than two years and then, inexplicably, find themselves destitute just a few short years later.
