There are also two different versions of Wolcott's signature on the checks.
Many of the residents are on fixed incomes and have small children.
They say they feel abandoned and they're not quite sure where to turn.
Five years ago the Virginia Mennonite Board of Missions thought they had sold the building to the community and four trustees-- one of which was David Hayden.
But records show Hayden never completed the deal and the city still lists the Mennonite Church as the owner of the building.
In January, Hayden severed all ties with Justice House and he told News- 7 that he had transferred power to Roanoke Area Ministries.
RAM-House officials flatly deny that. They say they were asked to run the facility, but decided against it.
No one is quite sure who is responsible for Justice House right now.
Many of the residents say they don't want to leave. But they might; at least until someone is put in charge.
