woman deceives husband, friends into believing she had breast cancer; they raise money, she gets "enhancements" instead
Published Nov. 9, 2009Views: 707
Count Trista Joy Lathern’s husband and co-workers among those who now feel misled and betrayed by her alleged pretense that she had breast cancer and was undergoing the rigors of chemotherapy.
Lathern, 24, formerly of Robinson, was arrested Wednesday on theft by deception charges after authorities say she lied about her medical condition, watched as friends raised $10,000 for her at a benefit and then reportedly spent the proceeds on breast-augmentation surgery.
Lathern, who remains free on bail, was arrested again Friday morning on a 2-year-old misdemeanor warrant charging her with theft by check. The warrant was issued in May 2007 in her maiden name, Trista Joy Fabianke, and county jail officials let her bond out Wednesday without realizing there was another warrant for her arrest.

What a scummy thing to do and a real disservice to those who have real life-threatening diseases. She should rot under the jail in my opinion.

If my wife were seriously ill in any way, I would be there for her and IN with the doctor. As she would be for me (and has been.)
"For better, for worse, in sickness and in health." I said it, and I meant it.
I would just like the "for richer" part to kick in!!!! LOL
