The California live-in nanny who would not leave her employer's home after being fired several weeks ago has apparently found a new place to haunt.
Diane Stretton, who snagged headlines last week for refusing to move out even though the family fired her, was seen hiding in her car outside the Upland Police Station on Friday, ABC News reported.
Stretton apparently drove to the station because she thought she was being followed. Upland police told her she was being tailed by a photographer and that she was free to leave. But instead of driving off, the 64-year-old stayed outside the police station, placing a cover in front of her windshield and staying inside for several hours.
It wasn't until 3 a.m. when she finally left, according to ABC News.
Stretton, dubbed the "nightmare nanny," was fired at the beginning of June from her job caring for Marcella and Ralph Bracamonte's three children. The couple hired Stretton from Craigslist in March, but several weeks later Stretton stopped performing her duties.
"She would just sit in her room all day," Marcella Bracamonte previously told ABC News. "So I told her, you either have to perform or you gotta leave."
But Stretton did neither, even threatening to sue the couple for elder abuse.
The Bracamontes turned to police to force the unwanted tenant out. But authorities told the couple the situation was a civil matter and that there was nothing they could do.
The nanny remained in the Bracamontes home for weeks, until last Thursday when she suddenly let. The family served her with legal eviction papers the day before.
"She left around 7 a.m. yesterday morning and she never came back," Marcella told ABC News on Friday.
Stretton was not seen until she was caught outside the precinct Friday night.
It appears Stretton has a history with filing lawsuits. The nanny sued her son last year for alleged injury and property damage, according to court documents obtained by ABC News.
There are at least six known lawsuits in California that Stretton has been involved in since 2005. Stretton was the plaintiff in four of them.
It was not immediately clear if the nanny will return to the Bracamonte home for her belongings.
