Christi Rowan is out of prison and in some form of "supervised custody" after serving 10 months of a 14-month sentence for bank fraud and theft. Denny Hecker is serving 10 years in a federal prison camp in Duluth.

For the sixth time in five months, Denny Hecker has a new home. The convicted Twin Cities auto dealer is now housed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Loretto, Pa., according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. Loretto is a low-security facility that also has an adjacent minimum-security prison camp, according to its online profile.

Prison officials confirm Hecker has been moved again, this time to a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. Prison authorities in Duluth had recently placed him in special confinement away from the prison's general population. He was then transferred to a medium-security facility in Wisconsin.

Hecker is at a federal transfer center in Oklahoma City, before being moved to a low-security prison near Pittsburgh. The convicted Twin Cities auto mogul was initially held in Duluth before being transferred to Wisconsin in February. Most recently, Hecker was serving his 10-year sentence at a medium security prison in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Denny Hecker's tour of the federal penitentiary system has likely come to an end. The former Twin Cities auto dealer, serving a 10-year sentence for fraud, has been relocated to his fifth prison facility in four months, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

A judge has granted the bankruptcy trustee in the Denny Hecker case permission to question several friends, an ex-wife and a former attorney about the businessman's financial affairs. The trustee can also now ask prison officials to turn over all e-mails between Hecker and his wife, Christi Rowan-Hecker.

The 38-year-old wife of Denny Hecker has completed her 14-month prison term for fraud and theft. She finished the last part of her sentence at a half-way house then home confinement since January. Denny Hecker was recently transferred from the minimum security facility in Duluth to a federal prison in Indiana.
