概要
The Chaplain Who Wasn't: Six Years Holding Hands with the Dying

The evidence locker held a cream paper certificate with a gold seal from a seminary that never existed - and for six years a woman named Cynthia Anne Ford used it while sitting with dying strangers in a West Virginia hospice. If every credential was fabricated, how did she spend thousands of hours in people's final moments without anyone questioning what she really was doing?

In this episode, we present the story of Cynthia Anne Ford and the Millhaven Hospice where she worked, outlining her background, the forged ordination, and the moment a routine verification letter exposed the fraud. What did staff, patients, and a rescued dog named Birch reveal about the gap between paperwork and care?

Person: Cynthia Anne Ford
Age: 52
Location: Randolph County, West Virginia
Institution: Millhaven Hospice
Year certificate discovered: 2015
