Woman lives as teen, graduates high school... while living with foster families, collecting welfare, and leaving a string of sex accusations in her wake.
Last year she even duped an Alabama police department into a strange, futile search for her fictional family. Oddly, their web page on the case is still up.
Did I mention she's not a teen? She's 31.

I believe that "Alan Reeves," the composite Alabama mystery father from the second link above, is actually Mr. Potatohead.

This sounds like it would have been a good episode of Strangers with Candy. It's good to see the D.A.'s office do the right thing. Here in Virginia, they fight to suppress almost any evidence that can overturn a conviction, such as DNA evidence proving the innocence of a convicted "rapist".
