Amelia Bissoon was sentenced to 3 years on each of two theft and fraud offenses in Orange County, Florida, while her husband, Joshua Ramsawmy, received life in prison for each of the murders of Cynthia Stack, 52, and her son, Sean Stack, 22.

Bissoon, 25, worked as a banker at a Chase Bank branch in downtown Orlando, Florida. Her client Jerry Stack, 75, followed her when she changed branches. Court documents said he had suffered a traumatic brain injury and may have had dementia; police said that may have been a factor in Bissoon taking advantage of him. Cynthia Stack was his daughter. Bissoon was married to Ramsawmy, 28, and neither had a previous criminal history.

According to the investigation, Bissoon drafted two $25,000 checks from Jerry Stack's account in March 2018 and made them out to her son, a minor. Ramsawmy then opened two Bank of America accounts with the $50,000. JPMorgan Chase later said it had restored the missing money to the customer's account. Orlando police said Cynthia Stack's questions about the transactions on her father's account were the motive for the killings.

At about 7 a.m. on July 18, 2018, Orlando police were called to an apartment at 1032 West Jefferson Street, in the Parramore neighborhood. A neighbor had noticed the front door standing open at about 11 p.m. the night before and saw it was still open in the morning. Police found Cynthia and Sean Stack inside, both shot to death. Ramsawmy told investigators he bought a handgun at a pawn shop and later threw it into the water in Daytona. Investigators said it was the gun used to shoot Cynthia and Sean Stack.

Orlando police arrested Bissoon and Ramsawmy on the morning of Friday, July 27, 2018, nine days after the bodies were found. Ramsawmy was charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm; Bissoon was charged with two counts of principal to first-degree murder. Both also faced charges related to theft, fraud, forgery and exploitation of the elderly. Bissoon's included scheming to defraud, identity theft and theft from a person 65 or older. Both were held without bond at the Orange County Jail. Neither initially told investigators the truth. In her second meeting with investigators, Bissoon said her husband had admitted killing the two.

Florida Department of Corrections records show Ramsawmy was sentenced in Orange County on July 29, 2021, to life on each of two counts of first-degree murder, with an offense date of July 18, 2018, and to 30 years for theft of more than $50,000 from a person 65 or older. On July 19, 2022, Florida's Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the judgment without a written opinion. As of October 2026, the department lists him at Wakulla Correctional Institution, serving life.

Bissoon's Department of Corrections record lists two offenses from the same Orange County theft case, both dated March 29, 2018: theft of more than $50,000 from a person 65 or older, and fraudulent use of identification involving $5,000 or more or ten or more people. She was sentenced on July 29, 2021, the same day as her husband, to 3 years on each. The record lists no murder or homicide offense for her. The outcome of the two principal to first-degree murder counts has not been reported. She entered state prison on November 8, 2021, and was released on December 26, 2023.
