Loving a Con Artist

Written by firewriter

After being dumped from a 10 year relationship, I started meeting girls through online chat rooms.  I would drive 400 miles if the girl was hot enough. 

I had decided that since my ex was 3 years older, I would go for someone much younger and I wasn't dating anyone over 25.  And I sure found plenty of hot girls that just loved musicians like me. 

After two years of hook ups, I then answered an online ad that said she was 29 and just wanted to settle down and have a family.  Ok, she was over 25, so maybe it was time for me to settle down again.  We started texting and sending emails.  She told me she was artificially inseminated, and was now 6 months pregnant.  She told me she was working many overtime hours as a nurse, and for a month she wouldn't meet me in person.  She told me she had moved home with her parents because her dad was in the final stages of cancer. 

A few weeks went by, and she texted me that he had passed away but wouldn't tell me where the funeral was.  It was getting to be fall outside before she texted me again to say she was staying in a women's shelter because her mom tried to kill her my putting a gun to her now nearly 7th month pregnant belly.  She said her brother separated them and the police took her to a shelter.  She said she wasn't allowed to leave except to go to work, or with staff for any other reason.  So we would continue our online and texting relationship through the holidays. 

She told me she had left a van packed with her personal belongings at her mothers house.  She told me stories of how her mother abused her all her childhood by burning her with cigarettes, making her sleep outside during thunderstorms, and even abandoning her and her little brother when the parents went on vacation.  She said she would stay with her grandparent’s a lot growing up to avoid her mother. 

Then she said she ran away when she was 17 and worked in a top-less bar to going through nursing school.  She only actually talked to me on the phone a couple times during this time in the shelter.  Then she told me that the shelter staff woke her up about 10:00pm and told her they were going to pick up her van at her mothers house on January 31.  As soon as she started it up and pulled away from the property, a county Sheriff pulled her over and arrested her for stealing the van, because it was still in her mothers name.  She called me and told me which jail she was going to be incarcerated in.  Then she claimed she went into labor, but the baby boy was still born although they wouldn't allow her to see him.  She said they took her back to jail a few hours after having it. 

I drove 50 miles twice a week for about 3 months to visit her.  We wrote letters daily to each other declaring how in love we were even though we had only seen each other through the jail house glass.  My co-workers thought I was crazy keeping a jail relationship going with her.  But I believed everything she would tell me.  She also told me she finally got her inheritance from her grandparents estate set up with her lawyer.  She said she got around $150,000 and they still had to sell the house to get the rest of it settled. 

She was suppose to get out in May, but then the state she moved here from picked up the stolen vehicle charge because it was still registered there in Florida.  So she was transported to Florida which would be over a thousand miles away from me. She wrote that she had never been with a man sexually before.  Then she tragically wrote that while working in a laundry area with men, she was raped in the jail.  She then found out she was pregnant and wanted my opinion what to do.  Since she told me how little she was eating, we decided a baby probably wouldn't survive to term, so she aborted it.  They waited until she was about 3 months along and said she even felt it moving like it knew its demise was coming soon. 

I cried every night for weeks, and sometimes even broke down at work over this baby killing. I continued writing her everyday while she was there, right up till she was released into a family halfway house because she found out while she was there her infant son was actually alive and children’s services brought him to her there.   

The story was that her crazy mother and brother stole him from the hospital and she signed consent papers instead of a death certificate while on meds after the birthing.  So she was reunited with him in a special family center for prisoners to learn to be a family again.  She told me she had three fertilized eggs she had to use in the next couple months, and asked if she should get inseminated now and I agreed with a very happy Yes!  She then sent pictures of two embryos so she was definitely pregnant with twins now. 

We were once again able to communicate online, and she was able to get to her accounts and started spending lots of money on Christmas items for me and our family.  She even had a rental car that she had loaded with Christmas gifts.  My laptop was not working, so she told me she had bought me a new Mac laptop.  Then she said someone broke into the rental car and stole everything.  Then she told me her grandparents house had been sold, and now she got another $300,000 but her brother didn't get anything until the other land was sold. 

Her mother didn't get anything either and was very angry about it.  She said her brother and mother were seen in the area of the facility her and her now toddler son were staying in.  I had her hire a security company to drive her everywhere.  She claimed the security guy was also a Police Officer and he found out her family was looking for her and were going to try to kill her.  She kept arranging flights for me to fly down and pick them up, when she said she tested positive for drugs. 

Children’s Services then took her son back to our state.  She finally said she would be released on January 2, 2010 but she had to be put on a bus and had to be brought to my house that night even though the roads were horrible.  All this time keep in mind, I never had internet access to Google her name and she knew it. 

So I go pick her up at the bus terminal and we hug for the first time.  I throw her bags in the car and we drive through the snow drifts home.  Once here she had her money transferred to a local bank here.  They said it may take weeks because it’s such a large amount. 

She convinced me to quit my job because we would be finally getting our business started after we buy a house together.  She's always texting her lawyer and some other friends and never leaves the phone alone.  I got mad and tried to take it out of her hand one night in a fight and she about ripped my hair out. 

 She said children’s services said she had to sign up for welfare and other programs.  Then she said children’s services froze her account because she might try to leave the state. 

We went house hunting with a Real Estate agent.  We had a house picked out and she said she had another account in upstate New York set up by her grandparents she would have wired to buy the house. 

We went to the library a couple times to get movies and books. I tried to get on the internet while there, and she was suddenly standing behind me saying "what are you doing?"  I told her I was trying to get into my email.  She said "lets just go now." 

Then we went looking at new cars cause she knew exactly what she wanted and that was a Chevrolet Equinox, the hottest selling vehicle on the car lot.  You had to order them at the time.  So came the day the bank called and she just needed to go get her check card and some cash out. 

She spent the night packing the car with things to take out to the new house.  New baby clothes, tons of my DVD's, clothes, DVD player, knick knacks, personal notebooks of my writings.  I was to stay behind and wait for children's services to talk to me about getting her son back.  She said she needed $300 cash to give them for child support, and I gave it to her and she went inside the court house to pay it.  So I gave her the keys and she takes off for the bank about 9:00am. 

Then a couple hours later, children services is now 2 hours late.  Finally at noon she calls to say she is at a computer store picking me up a new laptop.  At 2:30 I call the real estate agent to see if she's with her.  She knows nothing about her buying that house, as a matter of fact the family is still living in that house!  I go to the bank, they have never heard of the bank manager we were supposed to be dealing with! 

I check my wallet and my check book is gone along with some credit cards.  I call the cops and report everything stolen.  I then go to the library and Google her name only to find out she's a very famous con artist!  She's even been featured on the network news for scamming people all over the country.  I found out she has a string of ex husbands and fiancé’s that she took for thousands.  A career con artist who has probably never worked an honest day in her life.  But they caught her and I get to stand up in court and tell her how evil she is.  I could write a book about her because there are so many twists and turns the way she cons people.  And I would if someone asked me to. She goes by so many aliases it's uncanny!  But I know who she really is and it would make an interesting read.  You've probably seen the news show she was on.  Ask me and I'll direct you to the link.
