and Tiffany Lyon were counting on…
The women used a photo of a baby from the internet and pretended the child died from a heart condition
Tiffany Lyon’s baby supposedly passed away, but she couldn’t tell a cop what hospital the baby died in
But the two women seemed a little iffy when he asked what hospital the child died at and what condition caused the baby to perish.
Our alert officer called the county coroner’s office. Sure enough, no child matching that description had died in Modesto.
The women later confessed to merely using a photo of a baby they pulled from the internet. They’d also pulled the same scam at another intersection the day before. In just a few hours, they’d already scored $700 in donations from generous motorists.
They’ve been charged with suspicion of conspiracy to defraud the public, taking money under false pretense, lying to police about their identities, and being the kind of assholes who use dead babies to scam people.
