CT: Aetna Documents Found On Side Of Road

Posted on June 3, 2010 by Dissent

A cabinet full of documents with sensitive information was found sitting on the side of the road. Now, Aetna has some questions to answer.

Donna Guiel, of East Hartford, said she made the discovery about a month ago and on Friday, she gave the documents to investigators with Aetna Insurance Co.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News cameras were rolling when Guiel and her husband, John, transferred eight bags full of insurance documents, many with social security numbers, to Aetna.

Donna said she saw a bureau on the side of the road in front of Admiral Storage in South Windsor with a sign that said “free.” She brought it home and inside the couple discovered the documents.

John said, “Eight bags of nothing but social security numbers and names, death benefits. People that went into hospitals, what kind of drugs they were on.”
