Mo. Couple's Sextuplet Tale a Hoax

A couple's dramatic account of newborn sextuplets turned out Tuesday to be nothing more than an elaborate scam.

Sarah and Kris Everson's story about their six babies' births had holes in it from the very start from their mysterious withholding of information for more than a month to the unanimous response of area hospitals that they had no such newborns.

Authorities said the couple admitted Tuesday evening that the entire thing was a hoax aimed at tapping the generosity of others to pay their mounting bills.

"I have never dealt with anything like this," said Aaron Ambrose, the police chief here in Grain Valley, where the couple lives. "The level of fraud like this involving people, I have not. When we hear of fraud, we think of bank fraud or confidence schemes."

It never amazes me to see how far people go to decieve others.

and it's going to get worse and worse, kids, if this maniac is allowed to stay in power for his full stolen term.

makes desperate people do desperate things. I dont know how poor these people are but they just played on people's generosity. I dont think that is a crime. The generous people at least got satisfaction out of it (until now).

My wife and I have almost 8 week old twins, I say let them take care of 6 screaming babies, no punishment can be worse then that.

Congrats on the chidlins!

Maybe they see their government and the press get away with it so often that they think it's a cinch.

Sorry, lying on a grand scale only works for the powerful.

that it was a creative plan. Only in America.

But then this is what happens when the media makes a circus from people giving birth to entire flocks.

I'm deserving of it. Amazing.
