There's no playbook for this type of fraud. Many couples dream of raising a family. She knew that they would do anything for the hope of having a child. But what if someone came along and derailed it? For the couples that I met, their dream of adopting became a nightmare. She kept telling us, forget about Sabrina's baby. It didn't feel like we were given a choice. So this is where it gets even more wild.

Lies. Manipulation. Greed. Now Tara has a problem because there's no baby. There's no way this is real. United States of America versus Tara Lee. Will the defendant please state her name to the court? Tara Lindley. Hell hath no fury like a parent scorn. She could tell such outrageous lies.

We had 20 families and then we were up to 100. And we all became investigators. From Sony Music Entertainment and Perfect Cadence, this is Baby Broker. Coming February 1st to The Binge. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
