Woman fakes pregnancy so her husband doesn't leave her, claims gang stole the baby on day of delivery
37-year-old Antonela Milena Padilla quite nearly pulled of an incredibly elaborate scam of epic proportions before her husband's genuine concern for her well-being did her in
A Colombian woman has been accused of faking her pregnancy for nine months so her husband wouldn't leave her and then faking her abduction by a gang on the day the delivery and claiming they had cut the baby out. 37-year-old Antonela Milena Padilla, of Barranquilla, northern Colombia, nearly pulled off an incredible hoax which failed at the last hurdle.
According to the Daily Mail, Padilla had used a cushion to fool her husband into thinking she was pregnant, increasingly filling it with more rags as the months went by to give the impression that the pregnancy was real. She reportedly even printed off an ultrasound scan from the internet to show family and friends.
