About this episode
Liz Hickox was stalked by a woman who faked illnesses for financial support and sympathy. While volunteering at a breast cancer charity, Liz met and became friends with Sarah, who told Liz she had terminal cancer. Sarah soon became obsessed with Liz, messaging up to 200 times a day, showing up for unannounced visits, and even moving in with Liz's parents at one point. When Liz and her husband Brian began to unravel Sarah's lies they realized they were being stalked. Liz brought Sarah on the Dr. Phil show to make sense of things and get Sarah help, but it raised controversial issues concerning mental health. This story caught the attention of Laura Beil, who now hosts a six-part podcast series called Sympathy Pains about Liz and Sarah and the many other victims Sarah scammed and stalked over the years.
