I hired Ashley in 2010 to watch my son Blake
who was about three months old.
Sometimes her stories were a bit creative
but she was young and I just figured
she maybe was embellishing her stories.
Ashley came to me and told me that she was pregnant.
She would show me ultrasounds.
She would call the doctor sometimes from my house.
One day I was looking out the window.
Ashley had left my house and from a distance
it looked as if she had pulled
something that looked like a pillow
out from underneath her shirt.
She was in fact faking the pregnancy.
I became suspicious of Ashley.
I searched the internet and I came across a Facebook profile
of a girl named Cheyenne Lane
which happened to be my son dressed in girl's clothes.
I fired Ashley immediately.
I was completely dumbfounded
that she was doing this.
It was just a complete betrayal of trust.
Okay, now you worked as a nanny, right?
Yeah.
And you used the child you cared for
to pretend that he was your own?
Yes.
Did you dress him up and post pictures of him
claiming his as your own?
Yes.
Why?
I don't fully know.
I think I just wanted the attention.
I wanted to feel like I had a purpose.
But there were people that knew you didn't have a child.
When I would post those photos,
I would change the settings on who could see the post.
So you were really sophisticated about this?
It was basically like an album.
Right.
Ashley had a whole other life she had created
in the previous year
pretending that my son Blake was her son.
I met Ashley at the Gymboree play class in June of 2011.
Ashley had never said anything
about being Blake's caregiver.
The more we talked,
the more we bonded.
In February of 2012,
that's when everything unfolded.
She had called me up one afternoon
and told me that her son Blake had died
in a head on collision with a drunk driver.
I discovered a post on the internet
stating that my son had died in an accident.
Once I fired her, she had to kill him off
because how was she gonna explain
she didn't have that child anymore?
At one point you said that your "son" Blake
had been killed in a car crash by a drunk driver
and you also lost a baby you were carrying at the same time.
I had been fired
and I had to figure out a way
why I wouldn't be able to continue to provide photos
and he wasn't gonna be around anymore
for me to do things with.
So you're fired, but you don't stop.
I should've.
Because now 2014, you allegedly steal photos of a blogger
and you're posting photos of her children
on Facebook as your own.
I met Ashley in 2012.
At the time, I was a wedding planner.
Ashley and I knew each other on a professional level.
In September of 2014,
I received a direct message on Facebook.
A woman warning me
that someone was portraying my children on social media.
I believe that Ashley was taking my children's photos
and posting them as her own children.
I felt that they had been digitally kidnapped.
I don't know who did that to her
and I think that's awful that she went through that
but that was absolutely not me.
You tell her that you have a daughter named Addison?
Yes, I did lie to her about having kids
but I never used her kids.
And you eventually created identities
for all your fake children.
There was Blake and Cheyenne and?
Shaylynne.
Shaylynne, Jaden, Zoey.
I don't remember Jaden, there was a Zoey.
Hudson.
Hudson, Brayley.
Why so elaborate?
If it's just for attention--
I think I wanted it to be real.
Anyone that knows me
knows that being a mom is what I want the most.
You've had a total of seven fake pregnancies,
one fake husband, Shane Goodman
and then eight fake children.
Yes.
What's you're explanation to yourself
about why you go this route
instead of some other?
I don't understand why I do it.
I know I hurt people
and that's not my intention.
But you get caught and you just do it again.
It was like '08, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014.
It's kind of like an addiction.
Now, some of those women are here.
Okay.
What do you have to say to these women
that feel violated by you?
