Couple Fakes Pregnancy & Birth…Then Faked the Baby’s Death
This is some next level psychotic behavior right here...
They had it all planned out,from a baby gift registry, to having people guessing the baby's gender on Facebook...they even had a name picked out...it was quite the elaborate scam...
23-year-old, Kaycee Lang and her 27-year-old husband Geoffrey Lang, from Friedens, Pennsylvania apparently wanted to scam some gifts and money out of their family and friends.
So...back in May, they faked a pregnancy and held a baby shower. Then in July, they faked the baby's BIRTH...by using a realistic looking baby doll. And then it took a DARK turn...and they faked the baby's DEATH. They said he died after five hours, and even ran an obituary for him. After that, their friends started a GoFundMe to raise money for the funeral...and raised $550. Finally, after all that, one of their friends got suspicious that it was all fake and called the cops. And after an investigation, the cops figured out the Langs HAD faked the entire thing.
They've both been charged with two counts of misdemeanor theft and one count of receiving stolen property. This crime was so devious, it seems like it should be a felon. The question is, how do they ever make amends with their friends and family? This just doesn't seem like something you could apologize for...("Hey guys, just kidding!") (no pun intended).
