South Jersey Woman Faked Cancer, Charged With Theft By Deception

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Kiley White told the kindly Egg Harbor Township couple she was dying of cancer. They believed her. So they took the 26-year-old Galloway woman into their home and began to care for her.

But she wasn't dying, far from it. And the Egg Harbor Township couple were just the latest folks she duped, Egg Harbor Township police said.

They arrested her on July 12, when she was on her way back to the couple's home where she had stayed for nearly five weeks, the police department's Facebook page says.

White was charged her with theft by deception and harassment, police said .

"The family took her into their own home after Kiley White convinced them that she was terminally ill," police said.

And it's not the first time White has done this. She used similar tactics on other occasions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but was never charged with a crime before.

"On each occasion, she has preyed on the sympathy and compassion of others, receiving services and goods from those victims whom she scammed," the page states.

Egg Harbor Township police discovered that White previously pretended to be other individuals, including sending messages to the Egg Harbor family posing as her own hospice nurse.

The case is being investigated by Egg Harbor Township Detective Robert Harte of the Criminal Investigations Division. Any additional information can be emailed to cid@ehtpd.com.
