Once Abraham hired Yolanda for the Selena Y Los Dinos fan club, which didn’t initially come with a salary, that alone should’ve raised some red flags, like why would a registered nurse want to work for nothing, when she was making more as a nurse? Why did Abraham turn a blind eye away from the fan club and let Suzette, his oldest daughter, left to serve as an intermediary between him and Yolanda? Abraham always proclaimed that Selena was too trusting and that got her killed, yet he did the exact same thing and gullibly let her in all of their lives. Hypocrisy much?
It gets even more peculiar. Once Yolanda got settled working at the fan club as President, she went to the bank and opened up a Selena Y Los Dinos Fan Club checking account in her sister’s name, Maria Elida Saldivar. How the hell could this happen? Yolanda would’ve needed her sister’s ID, SSN, and potentially other credentials to open up a bank account in her name without her having to be present.
It’s never been thoroughly explained as to how Yolanda managed to open up a fan club checking account in her sister’s name and not have someone in the Quintanilla family go joint with her on the account. My guess is, the bank account was legal and Maria possibly went with Yolanda to the bank to open the account otherwise she would’ve been flagged for fraud and jailed long before ever getting the chance to meet Selena in late-1991.
Yolanda also claimed when she was ousted as fan club President by Abraham for alleged embezzlement, that the bank wouldn’t allow her to open an account in her own name. I can’t see why that would occur, unless she had bad credit or some other legit reason for a bank denying her application. Perhaps she didn’t want the Quintanilla family to know this, hence why she just inconspicuously had her sister open the account for her since Yolanda would sign Maria’s name at the bottom of some of the checks from the fan club. Why wasn’t Yolanda ever charged with some form of bank fraud if she’s forging checks?
There are many unanswered questions that I want you all to be aware of. Yolanda would’ve needed to deposit a minimum balance to open that account so whose money did she use to do so? Why was she allowed to handle the money and cash checks without supervision? I believe debit cards and ATMs existed in the early 90s, so why didn’t Yolanda just use a debit card to withdraw funds? Instead she supposedly forged checks? Why draw that kind of attention to yourself, especially since Yolanda allegedly had a history of embezzlement back in the 1980s when she swindled nearly $10,000 from her former employer’s dermatology practice. Yolanda never destroyed the checks either, leaving Abraham to find them at a later date in 1995. We’ll cover more on that in future blogs.
The back story of Selena’s murder is akin to a bad movie with endless plot holes and missing pieces of vital information. It’s beyond convoluted and makes little sense once you enter the rabbit hole. Think about it, we were fed a narrative by the media and Selena’s family and not many bothered to independently validate it. It’s like the old gimmick look at this hand so you won’t be able to witness what the other hand is doing. Yolanda was the main spectacle, the distraction that someone wanted us to laser focus in on while something more sinister and nefarious was going on behind the curtain.
