It is reported that Terri Horman landed a job as a caregiver in Eugene with the Shangri-La Corp., which provides residential care for adults suffering from mental illness. The company says Horman applied for a Mental Health Support Specialist position in November under the alias of Terri Moulton, the last name of her adoptive parents. The company said she was "forthright with Shangri-La about her alternate names in her application, and her state-approved criminal history check was processed using all reported aliases." After that review, plus an interview, a Department of Motor Vehicle check, reference review and drug test, "she was determined to be a technically-qualified applicant and was hired for the position."
