Catching a cancer con (interview with Charlie Webster on his explosive podcast, Scamanda)

For nearly ten years, Amanda C. Riley relied on her community as she struggled through multiple relapses of cancer. Family, friends, and a group of online strangers supported Amanda emotionally, and made financial donations. There was just one problem: Amanda never had cancer. It was all an elaborate lie. Charlie Webster, host of the hit podcast Scamanda, details the extremes Amanda went to carrying out her con and why she believes Amanda was not only able to lie about having cancer, but steal from those closest to her. About Crime Story: Fraud. Abduction. Murder. Every week, Crime Story host and investigative journalist Kathleen Goldhar goes deep into a tale of true crime with the storyteller who knows it best. 🎧 More Crime Story episodes: https://link.chtbl.com/crimestory ✨ Like this podcast?
