0:00.0	A word of warning. This podcast explores graphic and disturbing stories and includes some strong
0:05.8	language. It therefore may not be suitable for our young listeners or other folks who may find it
0:11.7	disturbing. Hello and welcome to True Crime News, the podcast covering high profile and under the
0:16.9	radar cases from across the country every week. I'm your host, Anna Garcia. Our case this
0:22.4	week is tragic on so many levels. Police say that an otherwise healthy woman was somehow
0:28.5	tricked by her close friend who is a nurse, and the nurse allegedly convinced her that she was

1:43.7	but really, really sad case.
1:47.4	It's very sad because at the heart of it, allegedly, is how far you can manipulate
1:54.1	another person, perhaps preying on their fears and their weaknesses, to the point that
2:00.6	the victim here, apparently, according to
2:04.3	family and police, was somehow convinced she was dying, but she wasn't sick. Right. Right. And,
2:09.8	you know, that's where some of my questions begin is how did, how come she ever went to the doctor
