Fear of being betrayed again by someone she trusted - and the mug that proved it - begins on a winter morning when a clean ceramic cup labeled SURVIVOR sits alone in the frost on a trail she walks every day. The mug belonged to Cheryl Vogel, who did not know it had been taken from her home four months earlier; who put it there, and why, is the question that unravels a two-year manufactured relationship.
In this episode, we follow the timeline from Cheryl’s daily ritual walks and her remission from breast cancer to the online bond she formed in the private Facebook group Ribbon and Recovery, and the way a stolen object on Ridgeline Nature Trail forced the truth into the open. How did an online persona become a lifeline and then a mechanism for exploitation?
Person: Cheryl Vogel
Location: Dalton Court, Portsmith, Ohio
Date: November 9, 2021
Topic: manufactured relationship and theft
Case: online impersonation using persona of a retired physician and a fraudster
- Cheryl found a pale blue ceramic mug with a teal hand-painted ribbon and the word SURVIVOR fired into the clay on Ridgeline Nature Trail at 6:30 a.m.
- The votive candle at the mug’s base had been burned entirely to the wick and the frost around it was undisturbed except for Cheryl’s footprints.
- Cheryl had joined Ribbon and Recovery, a private Facebook community of roughly 300 members, in fall 2019 after a colleague recommended it.
- The online profile "Kevin Andrews" claimed to be an oncology nurse practitioner in Dayton and messaged Cheryl in December 2019; their first phone call lasted three hours.
- The image used for Kevin’s video calls belonged to retired physician Leonard Coss in Portland, Oregon, while the voice and plan were attributed to Dennis Caulfield, 41, of Terre Haute, Indiana, who had a prior conviction for fraud.
