from batavia... and still there? as far as we can tell tricia... there's been little movement in and out of this building o'clock this afternoon.. that we've confirmed that the f-b-i is investigating medicaid fraud. let's show you some video we shot earlier. this particular cancer center has only been open for about a year.. and two doctors work out of this facility. dr. ralph roach and dr. prakash patel. according to its website.. this location utilizes one of only two rare radiation machines in the state. now the ohio attorney general's office has sealed the investigation.. but medicaid fraud can consist of several things like billing the government for services not provided, double billing, or even

those that were performed on patients. fradulent claims can bring penalties ranging from simply paying the money back to the loss of licenses.. and in more serious cases... prison time. again - nobody really knows the scope of the f-b-i's investigation here in clermont county. we will stay on this story until we find out. mike schell.. fox19 now. now animation right now an infant and woman are still in the hospital following yesterday afternoon's horrific crash on 2-75 in fort thomas. this accident also left one man dead. fox19 now's shawn lanier spoke with the brother of the victim who was killed in that crash earlier today. steve giliam: "mike was a good man. the addict as anyone knows is a different person. it's not the person that you know or you grew up and loved." steve gilliam, who does not want to be shown on camera, is dealing with the loss of his only brother. mike gilliam was thrown from this car monday during rush-hour and died. steve says he has one question about that accident. steve giliam: "who was actually driving." mike was a father of 2 and according to his brother had fallen on hard times. drugs created a divide between the two.

long for a while becaue he's been on heroin in the past and he had to go 5 years clean before i let him back on my property." steve called it tough love, and says mike was trying to clean himself up and get his life back together. he says he saw him two hours before the accident happened to give him money to fix up a car. steve giliam: "whenever i gave him the money, he didn't look like he was jonesing or withdrawing from anything, and he didn't look like he was high on anything. " but now steve says in hindsight he wonders if he could have done more. steve giliam: "you have to give hard love sometimes, and because you lose your crapshoot there." shawn lanier: "fort thomas police tell us at this hour they are sifting through video they say there is of the crash.. to help them figure out who was driving. in corryville.. shawn lanier.. fox19 now." reds animation switching gears now... today was the first
