Amanda C. Riley, 37, was sentenced to five years in jail in May 2022 after she defrauded donors out of $305,513 to cover her costs for fraudulent cancer treatments. In eight episodes that will premiere weekly, Scamanda, Apple's podcast, will lay the young woman's murderer naked. Riley began a blog in October 2012 chronicling her tragic tale of dealing with Hodgkin's lymphoma to try and seek donations to fund her medical expenses. She also ran a social media page on Facebook, Instagram, and a Twitter blog promoting her fight against cancer, and she shaved her head to keep the rouse going. As the donations came in, the then-Bay Area resident wasn't using the good-faith money to pay hospital bills, but rather deposited it into her personal bank accounts and used to pay for living expenses. The scheme was ultimately discovered by the Internal Revenue Service in 2019, and she was charged with one count of wire fraud in July 2020.

After crashing an embankment on I-75 near Jellico, Tennessee, the 57-year-old was on the road to appear at a concert in North Carolina when his 2001 Prevost Featherlite bus turned on its side. William Salyer of Staffordsville, Kentucky, and Marc Wood of Frankfort, Kentucky, were among the two others injured in the road accident. The passengers, including Montgomery, are expected to recover from the crash. Montgomery's tour bus appears to have been badly damaged in the crash, as the vehicle's front windows seem to be shattered. The coach's interior also looks as if it had turned, though the trailer's exterior appears to have been weakened by trees and branches.
