概要
She believed she had found someone who understood surviving illness - a retired hospital chaplain who messaged her on a cancer-survivor Facebook group and spoke with her for four hours the first night. But the man’s face was stolen, his backstory fabricated, and $16,500 she sent turned into $12,500 gone before his arrest - how did a careful, cancer-survivor medical coder get stitched into a scheme so convincing?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from a mysterious card tucked behind a house to the online friendship formed in a support group and the growing doubts raised by a sister’s request for video. You’ll hear how the impostor built trust with specific details, which documents were recovered after an arrest, and the question that drove the investigation: what methods did the perpetrator use to bypass verification and take $16,500 from Rebecca Smith?
Person: Rebecca Smith
Age: 39
Diagnosis: non-Hodgkin lymphoma (finished chemotherapy 4 years before)
Amount sent: $16,500
Amount missing at arrest: $12,500
- The card was found on November 9 at 7:40 a.m. in the utility access bay behind a house on Finch Mill Road.
- Rebecca joined the Facebook group Living Through It in January, two years before the card was found.
- The fake profile “Gail Roberts” contacted Rebecca in March and they spoke for four hours the first night.
- By June, Rebecca called “Gail Roberts” her boyfriend despite refusing a video call due to his claimed camera phobia.
- William Farr was arrested three weeks after the card was found with four IDs in four names, a burner phone, and an active VoIP line.
