Woman Allegedly Fakes Cancer for Cash ($10,000)!!!

At least $10,000 was raised to help Trista Lathern after she announced she was battling breast cancer. But investigators say it was all a scam and that she planned to use the money to get breast implants.

But court records show Lathern has confessed to investigators that she never had cancer and planned to use the money to get breast implants -- something she said she thought would save her seven-month marriage, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported.

Lathern's husband, William, who is the father of her two children, ages 5 and 3, filed for an annulment the day she was arrested, the paper said. Lathern's story came to the attention of police when she allegedly visited a plastic surgeon who became suspicious of her story and called his attorney, who contacted police, KXXV-TV reported. She was arrested last week and charged with theft by deception, a state felony, the station said.
