Woman accused of claiming child was terminally ill for money, Make-a-Wish trip faces new fraud charge
Katherine Jackson, a 42-year-old Indiana woman previously accused of falsely claiming her daughter was terminally ill to obtain money and a Make-A-Wish trip, now faces a new fraud charge for allegedly scamming an employee of her former attorney by taking money for a car she never delivered. The victim provided $8,000 for a 2017 Smart Fortwo, which Jackson claimed to purchase but never handed over, citing delays due to repairs and tariffs.
