Woman Fakes Cancer For Profit

This story makes me sick...

 

The New Jersey police recently arrested   Lori Stilley for theft by deception. She told friends she had bladder cancer   and collected thousands in donations to pay for her wedding. Lori told her 7-year-old   son and 12-year-old daughter that she was going to die and was going to enter   hospice. On the day she was supposed to enter hospice, she told friends she   was feeling better and her tumors were disappearing. Lori's sister went to the   police. She says, "That moment is when I just knew, I felt in my heart   that she had made it all up and and a lot of other people felt the same way.   She never let anyone go to the doctor with her. She had said that she just wanted   to do this alone. I had really never pressed her, but thinking back, I wish   I did. She had said to me, 'There are only two things that I want: to turn 40   and to marry Bill. So I said to her that I can't make October come any faster,   but I can plan a wedding. As people would question her, she would unfriend them   and her husband would threaten them. My dad says that I went against the family,   but what I did was out of love for my sister and trying to protect my niece   and my nephew.''
