As Montreal police continue to build their case against the West Island financial planner believed to have bilked his clients out of $50 million, more stories are emerging from families who fear they have been financially ruined by Earl Jones.

Ginny Nelles, who had invested with Jones, told CTV News he used to be a close friend of the family. Jones had stayed with the family for a period of six months when he was separated from his wife.

Nelles can't believe she and her family members are among Jones's alleged victims.

"My mother is wiped out, my brother and I...our father's estate was managed by Earl. I've lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. My brother might go bankrupt," Nelles said.

Following an interview with CTV Montreal's Rob Lurie, Nelles attempted to reach Earl Jones's wife by phone.

Someone picked up, but the person didn't speak.

"Hello, Auntie Maxine? Auntie Maxine, are you there?" asked Nelles. "I need to speak to you, please. It's about my mom. I'm so worried about her..."

There was still no response on the other end of the line.

"Please call me back. Please call my mother back. I think it's the least you can do after 50 years of friendship. Please, find some grace and some class and some respect and some decency for the friendship that you've had with my mother and our family over all these years," Nelles pleaded.

The person hung up.

Could Earl Jones be in U.S.?

Last Friday, Ginny Nelles's husband, Robert, called Jones's daughter, who lives in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

Nellus recalls Kimberly Jones picking up the phone and saying: "Daddy is coming to get me in about an hour."

But since then, Jones's daughter has stopped responding to phone calls.

Nelles is both incredulous and infuriated.

"My mother, who's 69-years-old, is the most lovely person in the entire universe. I can't believe this has happened to her. I can't believe he has forced her into this position, where she is going to become homeless. She doesn't have an asset to her name."

Alleged victims turn to Sun Youth

According to Sid Stevens, executive director of Sun Youth, six former clients of Earl Jones have turned to the organization to inquire about using its food bank.

"We know one is a paraplegic, the other is handicapped in a wheelchair. They are really desperate and down, and they're going to need help," said Stevens.
