A New Jersey woman tricked a family into believing that she had brain cancer — while she crashed at their home for more than a month, according to police and a new report.
Kiley White, of Galloway, preyed on the kindness of the Evans family in Egg Harbor Township for about five straight weeks, until she was busted last week, Linda Evans told local station NBC 10.
“All night long, she would be moaning and groaning and I would be massaging her legs,” she said. “Every day was just like she has one more day to live.”
“It was all lies — all lies,” she added. “And I just want this girl exposed.”
White, 26, was on her way back to the Evans home on July 12 when she was finally taken into custody and charged with theft by deception and harassment, local police said.
She met the Evanses through a mutual friend in early June, the station reported. When White claimed she had nowhere to stay due to a traumatic family history, the couple took her in.
White would leave the couple’s home nearly every day — claiming that she was visiting a hospital in Philadelphia — but the family believes she instead spent the time babysitting and working at a local restaurant, according to the report.
Police also determined that White pretended to be other people as well, including her own hospice nurse.
White showed the family text messages with medical instructions, that she claimed were from her “nurse.”
“It’s just amazing that someone could come up with that elaborate of a story and have verifications along the way,” Steve Evans told the outlet.
The family contacted police after their relatives became suspicious and discovered White was using similar tactics in the Pittsburgh area, according to the report.
Egg Harbor police confirmed that White pulled similar acts in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but had never been charged with a crime. On each occasion, she received services and goods from her scam victims, cops said.
The family told the outlet that they spent nearly $1,000 on White — but they were also emotionally hurt by her actions.
“I was shaken, totally shaken to my core,” Linda Evans told the station. “Because here I loved on a girl that never existed and gave everything.”
“She needs help,” the woman added. “She needs serious help.”
White declined to comment when approached by an NBC 10 reporter at a Galloway Township home where she was staying.
