Two arrested for allegedly burglarizing decedent’s Truckee home

TRUCKEE, Calif. – Following the death of 77-year-old Truckee resident Eugene “Gene” Canata in October, his home was reportedly burglarized, leading to the arrest of Angela “Angie” Louise Damico, 55, of Belmont, and Michael John Robertson, 64, of San Carlos. The investigation into this case began on Oct. 22 when a public administrator at the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) was notified of Canata’s passing in Washoe County (state of Nevada) but with primary residency in Nevada County, California. When an individual passes, a Sheriff’s Office will make every attempt to notify next of kin, who are generally involved in a decedent’s legal proceedings regarding personal property, financial obligations, and afterlife wishes. In Canata’s case, no kin or will were immediately located. When this occurs, NCSO’s Public Administrator will assume these roles to safeguard and protect assets and settle ongoing affairs while conducting extensive searches for rightful heirs.
