It would be kind to say that Skyler Houston is familiar with these kind of investigations on her. She has quite the history of fraud cases in town. Including just TWO WEEKS ago being investigated for stealing a Burkburnett woman's credit card information. Skyler even made our very own Texoma's Most Wanted back in 2023 for...credit card abuse.

In the latest case, Skyler allegedly began seeing a local guy in town. She eventually gained his trust and was able to get access to his bank account. Between February 2024 and July 2024, she was able to clear out $42,000 from his account. She claimed she was going to get the two of them a house and some of this money was going towards a down payment. Wichita Falls police are unable to find a house that Houston has put a down payment on.
