LITITZ, Pa. -- (WPMT) -- There are hundreds of thousands of GoFundMe pages to raise money for people in need.
Police in Lititz, Lancaster County said 31-year-old Nicole Leahy took advantage of that.
Detective Jevon Miller said, "A girl from Florida contacted us about an account that she had found using her family's tragic story of her son passing to raise money."
