OK. This is what I know. Not much, but I am skipping a few things. Anyways here goes.
I have little to tell you right now. But a little is better than nothing right? Please continue to have faith in Ryan and Rachel. They are hurting and are just dealing with this in their own fashion. I know most of you don't agree with Rachel's silence, but this subject is so close to her heart we must have patience. This whole thing will be over in a couple of days. I cannot say more. Just please trust me on that fact. I don't know that all of the minuscule details being mulled over will be touched on, but I guarantee you that there will be closure. If you are here with a good heart and good intentions your need for answers will be fulfilled. If you are here to knit pick small things and here to punish you will never find all the answers because there will always be new questions.

I just posted on the other thread, but thanks for this Nobody. I've been following along with few comments, but I'm glad to know that we may get more info or more of a resolution in the days to come.
ReplyDeleteThanks "Nobody". I appreciate how hard I'm sure you've worked on all of this. :o)
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you nobody. You have done an awsome job. Your intentions were very good. I came here first doubting that there was anything thruthul to be found here, but you showed us otherwise. And you are thinking with a sober, clear head and not anger that makes you go ahead with all of this. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us updated Nobody.
ReplyDeleteGlad we will finally have some answers! Since yesterday, it just seems like no one is talking about this anymore.
ReplyDeleteB needs to be held accountable!
Good work, Nobody!
ReplyDeleteI'm posting for the first time on here, but I did follow AR and have been following this blog since it started (thank you Nobody for your level-headed and persistent investigation of this situation!) One thing, which I don't think has been mentioned, is troubling me...
ReplyDeleteI know people say that Beccah must be disturbed, etc. and even that she might have a personality disorder... but I'm wondering if it might be more. Like if she's truly psychotic and believes some of this stuff. I'm just thinking of how righteous she sounded on her blog, and comments like this one that she left on HERE:
inHIStightgrip said...
this image is manipulated. it has to be. you can see the blurred and the extra lines. it is a fake. not april rose. this image. it is altered. lord jesus help these people.
I'm thinking of like Andrea Yates or some of the other really crazy religious people (I am a Christian and there is nothing crazy ABOUT being religious, please don't get me wrong!!) I'm just thinking that no person who is at all able to think rationally can be a Christian and say all those things she said in her posts about God and at the same time perpetrate something like that. It didn't sound like someone faking Christianity. What if it was all so believable because she actually DID believe it??
The reason this is disturbing, and really the main reason I want someone (like Raechel) to tell us what is actually going on with Beccah right now - who is with her, etc. - is that I worry what someone like that could do. What if she really did believe that she was pregnant with a dying child? What if she really did call Raechel from the hospital - would she do something like steal a baby?
I know people think she just did this as a big joke or for the money or something... but it just seems like her posts were so heartfelt and passionate - and even her comments like that one above were so, well, passionate - that I wonder whether a cold, calculated person just trying to make some money could just sit there and type out that stuff.
I just wonder if Beccah is really delusional and psychotic, and considering her delusions involve a baby, and she believes that Jesus is on her side, whether she could be a harm to herself or others. So hopefully she is in treatment right now, or with people who know what is going on.
I have heard that she is ok. As ok as somebody in her shoes can be. I believe that she will get help.
ReplyDeleteYou are all so welcome for the updates. I do hope we can put this to rest soon.
ReplyDeletefirst time commenting. I was an avid follower of AR, a DISBELIEVER of you at first, but obviously a very sorry and believing person now! I like everyone else just want some closesure. I don't think its something I deserve but I put my heart and prayers into that blog just like everyone else! I don't want revenge, or justice...I would just like to KNOW what really happened and WHY? So one question here, Nobody...was Beccah's story TOTALLY fiction or was there ANY truth?
ReplyDeleteIs it possible you can start a new post when the rest of the info comes out??? That way I can stick this blog in my reader and not have to keep checking back all day long?
ReplyDeleteOkay! I was saying I was done commenting on this. For starters, Nobody, thank you for opening eyes on this horrible situation.
ReplyDeleteSecond.. why are you all BASHING Jennifer (MckMama) she has nothing to do with this. Just because she is getting "hits" and earning money, is that any of our concern? I am sure that ALL OF YOU would love to receive some sort of monetary contribution, for basically free. She was honest, she is a Christian, and "suspense"? Really?! You think she leaves us in suspense to create hits to her blog? YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO! We all CHOOSE to read it. We are all women, and most of use tend to pull to gossip/drama.
I am not trying to bash anyone. But Angie and Jennifer are women that are dear to my heart. NO, I don't know them personally. Yes. I have a real blog. This blog is entitled littleaprilroseisafake. If your commenting, let's keep it about that, PLEASE!
You wouldn't want people bashing you. On that, I am done and not reading this site. I will pray for everyone and especially B, she needs it!
I am really confused. In one of the guest posts Raechel wrote when B was in labor, Raechel said she had gotten there at 5:00 AM and saw how tired everyone was. And then she started posting updates about how the labor was progressing, and then when April Rose was born.
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying to condemn anyone or pry, but if Raechel was there in person, posting about what was going on, how could the labor and subsequent birth be a hoax? Did B actually have a baby or did she not? That is what has me totally confused.
Just wondering if Mckmama is running a scam as well?? I read on a forum somehwere that she makes 2 cents from Blogger for every click /visit she gets on her blog. Is this really a "Christian" thing to do?? Seems to me, that is this is true, its taking advantage of a little boy's very unfortunate condition....
ReplyDeleteWow, EXCELLENT observation. I wonder if that link will expose Raechel as well? I'm so very sad about the April Rose hoax, as I've been a follower from the beginning, when Angie Smith asked us to pray for her. It is an interesting, and valid, question about Raechel. If she was in the room, and saw everyone, then is there or isn't there a baby? Or did was it Kelli who was there and witnessed everything?
ReplyDeleteI thought Raechel had only been in contact with "B" over the phone, and Kelli was there in person? Oh, and thru the gibsontwins blog, I read that Raechel is friends with "B"s sister, and knew "B" from highschool? I could be wrong, but I thought that's how Raechel got involved in everything.
I do hope that,at some point, the truth comes out and we are all given closure. And just like everyone else, I am also a little bit disappointed with how vague Raechel, Angie and Jennifer have been. But I do understand that they don't want to completely trash "B" and put her whole life story out on the web.
No you can see all of the blog posts here:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.bloglines.com/preview?siteid=21663515
It was supposedly Kelli who updated that she was there at 5 am, not Raechel. Not saying Raechel's innocent, just that she wasn't there.
Oh PS- I am not accusing Mckmama of anything.I just want to confirm whether or not she is leading a scam as well...seeing as how many people have donated money and items to their family. Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteNobody you've heard that she is okay?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but I would and COULD never believe Mcmama is running a scam! Her situation is TOTALLY true and if she gets $0.02 for every hit on her blog than good for her, I will still read her blog everyday! :)
ReplyDeleteMckmama*
ReplyDeleteI'm posting for the first time after spending two days glued to my computer reading every comment. An anonymous message was left on my blog on April 14 and that is how I found out about April Rose.
ReplyDeleteI found this link today... maybe 'B's mother?
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1387/is_n1_v45/ai_18616661/pg_7/
I'm hoping for answers soon, too.
I just deleted April Rose's blog from the blogs I follow. Final count for those who followed 942 ..... this would equal alot of dough if it she received 20 cents a hit everyday. We don't know why it was truly done and again I can't be angry with her, I only pray that she receives the help she needs!
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in knowing if the winner of her "contest" received their prize?!
ReplyDeletePeople have mentioned that the date stamp was off on the blog post announcing April's birth, but what about Raechel's twitter account? She announced the birth almost two hours before it happened! This is taken from her twitter account (that is still available for anyone to read www.twitter.com/giftofbreath) I hope I'm just confused as to how twitter keeps time, because like most of you, I'd like to believe that Raechel wasn't a part of the hoax, but I have seen nothing to confirm that.
ReplyDelete=================================================
@MckMama Hey MckMama - GREAT news! Baby April Rose was born at 2:48 with blond hair and air in her lungs! Please RT!
12:55 PM Jun 7th from TweetDeck in reply to MckMama
APRIL IS HERE! She has breath! Praise Jesus!!!
12:48 PM Jun 7th from TweetDeck
Great-Granny Grandma: I posted a comment in response to your question on my Blog earlier today.
ReplyDelete"B" did NOT have a Baby, there never was a baby, it's all a hoax.
I too believe that Raechel and Ryan are innocent victims in this. My understanding is that "B" is someone they went to school with years ago and SHE (B) contacted them "when she got the diagnosis" because SHE (B) received the same diagnosis that THEY (R&R) had just dealt with.
I think everyone needs to step back and let the Authorities deal with this and just move on. If you have a financial claim, contact the Authorities that you've been directed to and let them do their job.
I think MckMama, Angie and (brain fart here) did the right thing by posting one unified message to "their communities" because they all FEEL some sort of responsibility, NOT because they are responsible for any of this.
If you wish to hash this out and continue to play investigator, go ahead, but honestly what is it going to accomplish?
I am moving on with life, accepting that these things happen in our daily lives in so many ways. My blog post today discusses such things that have happened in my locality that are horrendous. I continue to pray, I do hope she gets the help she needs, I do hope there is some accountability and I hope her family is able to rebound as well.
Blessings to all.
When I have more info I will create a new post. it will probably be a couple of days. Good night to all.
ReplyDeleteno one has mentioned suicide... i hate to say it but i fear that this woman may do something terrible to herself now that she has been outed. everything about her has been exposed, down to her work website & old fiance(possibly)... ugh
ReplyDeleteThank you Nobody. I hope you keep this up despite some of the negative comments. I'm on pins and needles!
ReplyDeleteI, too, want to say a great big thank you to Nobody. Thank you for the time that you have put into exposing this. And thank you for the information that you have shared with us. I appreciate it greatly.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the URL for the (questions) blog that is suspected to be B?
ReplyDeleteWhitney: http://littleaprilrosequestions.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI have said anything because I don't want to be a gossip, but just happened on this and wanted to mention the time thing. People saying time stamps don't match up. You need to remember if they were miles apart, they may have been in different time zones. Also, twitter, FB and google mess up my time stamps ALL the time. Not saying I know Raechal is innocent, just that a time stamp means nothing.
ReplyDeleteThanks...that was the first blog i looked at when i considered the scam might be true...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't surprise me at all le1354, she seems like the type of person who would create a fake world and when it came crashing down around her, attempt to kill herself. It's sad really, I hope it isn't true, but if it is, I'm not surprised.
ReplyDeleteI thought she was following this blog yesterday as InhisTIGHTgrip, so I doubt she was in the hospital.
ReplyDeletele1354-
ReplyDeleteHow awful? I am prayerful for the situation. I hope and trust you are being honest with us about this...
I really need to go to bed now.
ReplyDeleteGood Night!!

ReplyDeletewell the question remains if inHIStightgrip wasn't her, then how come she quit posting when we speculated?
ReplyDeleteLeah beat me to the punch on that one. Google inHistightgrip and you will find comment after comment left directing people back to april's site...in a similar wordage and format...
ReplyDeletejsut what I was going to say...anyone know what happend with the people who supposedly adopted the puppy from her? I looked up their blog and it has been removed...
ReplyDeleteThere was more than one alias doing that..wasn't there a Susan Kreasly or something like that...this le1354 person just popped up, so I don't know if we should believe them...
ReplyDeletetotally OT buy my word verification for the last post was rebeccah
ReplyDeleteweird, spelled the same way!
Yes- there may have been several aliases doing the same thing. Crazy.
ReplyDeleteI came to this blog out of love and concern- hoping for the best and i'm still here for the same reasons. I don't know what I think of the in the hospital since Monday scenario, however.
this LE person JUST signed up in 06/09 I wouldn't believe anything yet, until we have confirmation just take it with a grain of salt for now...
ReplyDeleteHow has she been hospitalized since Monday afternoon when Raechel was speaking to her on the phone Monday evening? Correct me if I am wrong, please.

ReplyDeleteNobody said earlier that she was sure that inHIStightgrip was Beccah... doesn't make sense that she has been in the hospital since Mon in that case
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletemonday doesnt make sense...but then again- what about this does!?!
ReplyDeletewell if that doesn't sound like Beccah herself I don't know what does....
ReplyDeleteShe was in the hospital when Rachel spoke with her just not what we thought she was there for.......
ReplyDeleteAnd as a non-Christian I can wallow in as much hatred as i would like thank-you....
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAs I've said before continuing to be a victim is a choice. A suicide attempt is a choice. If I pray for anything it will be that "B" learns to make better choices.
ReplyDeletedid Raechel admit to writing that 9:36 update in that triple post thing?...how do we even know it wasn't B pretending to be Raechel? I'd like to know if Raechel REALLY talked to her on the phone monday night before I decide that she was just mislead as to the real reason B was in the hospital at the time
ReplyDeletewhen was the blog removed? monday evening or tuesday morning?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI thought Tuesday morning.
ReplyDeleteI just wanna say...and I don't know anything for sure, just a possiblity that I'm throwing out there:
ReplyDeletele1354 could very well be Beccah, trying to gain sympathy for herself...just amazing how this poster popped up out of nowhere claiming to be family...no one else is allowed to say anything reguarding the matter, but this person can? Suspicious to me...
le1354 I was just going to speculate the very same thought. I would assume that she is in some type of mental health facility - I work as a nurse at a crisis center - it would not be unrealistic that she would be able to use her cell phone and speak with R one last time. Our clients are allowed to use their cell phones unless they are restricted for a particular reason.
ReplyDeleteThis certainly makes me relieved to know that she is in a secure environment where she hopefully will receive a complete psych eval and get the help she needs.
Is she willing to receive long term help at this time?
Tuesday.... the 9:36 post was made Monday night
ReplyDeleteI call b.s. If she was in the hospital for a suicide attempt, she wouldn't have access to the computer and a phone to call Raechel or to twitter, blog or email Ryan or anyone else (and several people have said they had contact with her).
ReplyDeleteSo if she is in the hospital, then give one of us the name of the hospital so we can call and verify that yes, Beccah is a patient there and has been inpatient since Monday, June 8th. If you refuse to provide that basic information to SOMEONE for verification purposes, I will not believe a word you write and I would encourage others to not believe you, either.
I was up around midnightish and 1 a.m. central time (mon/tues) and noticed it was gone
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWho can attempt suicide on Monday night and still manage to be in a hospital setting and mke a phone call the same night? This isn't ER or Grey's Anatomy... I could understand a call maybe the next day or a few days later, but in the same night? I think not...
ReplyDeleteFrom Raechel's Twitter:
ReplyDeleteon the phone with B...
9:03 PM Jun 8th from TweetDeck
This is getting curiouser and curiouser...
ReplyDeleteLeah... exactly! Not plausible at all!!! Nice try le1354....
ReplyDelete"she was in the hospital.. just not what WE thought for"???? we? i thought you were family... i thought it would read "not what you thought for" since you're not part of this. just saying.
ReplyDeleteyah why would "WE" being you her "family" think she wa sin the hospital for anything? It certainly wasn't to have AR looked after!
ReplyDeletekeepingitprivate - I am not trying to contradict but - even when clients are placed on suicide watches or close observation, we still allow clients to have their cell phones. Mental health units or crisis centers are not prison and it is plausible that she could have spoken to R from a facility. R did say that there was a lot of noise or something like that in her 9:36 post. Some MHU's are more secure and restrictive, it all depends on where she is at and if she went willingly or if she was placed on a 72 hour hold order by law enforcement or a physician.
ReplyDeletemore questions
Just getting in from being out with my boys. I spoke with B on the phone at around 2:30 this afternoon. She has no idea what's going on.
ReplyDelete8:38 PM Jun 8th from TweetDeck
--she had talked to B twice that day once in the afternoon once at night...supposedly this is also when she was in the hospital for suicide attempt
I dont know..this could be plausible. We don't know how much of an actual attempt it was. Wasn't there a long period of time w/o an update? She could have been in the hospital for a while before she called Raechel. And someone on here that works at a mental health facility said that they are allowed to use cell phones.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if she is hospitalized.
and whoever questioned if mckmama is a scam - get with the program. Bloggers get paid all the time for their blogs based on their hits. Its not a scam, and everyone knows she gets money - you can see the advertisements. What's the big deal about this?
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI'm a nurse. Not a psych nurse, but I did do my rotation in nursing school. The facility that I did my rotation in did not allow cell phones for any reason. AND were only allowed a phone call after a few days of therapy. A phone call was a privilege and if you misbehaved, your phone privileges were revoked. Yep...
ReplyDeleteit is hard to imagine her being able to juggle all these balls at one time, but look at the scam she has pulled off up to this point!
ReplyDeleteamyengle; so if someone attempts (the word used) suicide, within hours they can use the phone unsupervised? That just doesn't seem right.... Obviouslly it had to be an unsupervised call or whoever was watching her would of been suspicious of what she was saying...
ReplyDeleteAnd IF someone attempted suicide but was stable enough to make phone calls (assuming they'd be allowed, even), then I would venture a guess that their "attempted suicide" was not a sincere attempt at all.
ReplyDeleteTell me, le1354, who intervened in the suicide attempt? Since supposedly no one in your family knew what Beccah was up to (as evidenced by the phone calls that were made yesterday to people who were distraught to hear of the scam), why would anyone have been at her place to intervene in her suicide attempt on Monday night? And if Beccah had a serious intention to kill herself, without intervention, she should have succeeded. So if she didn't, I would have to chalk this all up to a sociopath staging a suicide attempt as a way to divert people's attention from her deviant behavior as a scammer & a fraud to feeling sorry for her for being so mentally screwed up.
Sorry; I am not buying it. I do think Beccah is screwed up, but I don't buy the attempted suicide story, especially since twitter records show Raechel saying she was talking to Raechel at 9:03pm on the 8th.
Oh, and I'm inclined to believe that if she was being admitted to a psychiatric hospital and allowed to use her cell, they would atleast monitor her call! Especially if they knew what was going on!
ReplyDeleteA person on "suicide watch" in hospital ia NOT allowed to have a personal cellphone. Also , all calls are monitored by nurses. If Beccah was in hospital on "suicide watch" she would not have been calling , nor could she receive calls on her personal cellphone. Given that all calls made on the hospital's phone are monitored , i also doubt that she would be able to carry on this charade with nurses screening her calls. I KNOW what I am talking about , as I personally have been on "suidide watch"
ReplyDeleteyah a phone call at 2:30 and a call at 9.... that's a 6.5 hour window to attempt suicide, go to a hospital for stitches/stomach pumping/whatever have you and then be transferred to a psych ward? Things in the system do not move that fast EVER!
ReplyDeleteWow, Ploys for Sympathy seem to be "B"s MO.
ReplyDeleteforget the phone calls... how did she dismantle her blog, facebook, myspace and all that other crap if she was in a hospital. i mentioned suicide and two minutes later that pops up. whatever!!! i don't even care anymore.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she checked herself into the hospital bc she was THINKING of suicide? I'm just trying to play devils advocate here.
ReplyDeleteThere was obviously a man involved since Raechel spoke with "D". Maybe her brother? He could have dismantled everything. And maybe he was the one who intervened?
ReplyDeleteEverything about her was removed Mon night/Tues morning. Her blog, facebook, and artwork site. Then can u tell us who removed all her personal stuff if she was in the hospital?!?!
ReplyDeleteIf she was in the hospital monday, then who was getting rid of all the evidence yesterday (tuesday)? ARGGGHHH I really need to go to bed. :(
ReplyDeleteI havent commented before, well, havent known quite what to say, so many have really said it all. I followed B.'s blog, but, always had the feeling something was off. Now, I write often long rambling posts about whats going on in my life, but hers just sent up a lot of red flags.
ReplyDeleteHaving seen in the past, and having been acquainted with a couple of people who have done similar things, though not to this degree over th years, does it surpise me? No.
What all amazes me though, is that when people pull these kinds of scams, their long term thinking is in the toilet; they really just dont have a clue as to how negatively people will react, and arrogant enough to think people are stupid.
And all becomes fair game when people are burnt. See heres the thing people, the people who post these stories are sitting behind a computer, and you the reader are too. Look at the supposed "reality" shows on TV, and look how much of it is discovered to be pretty much orchestrated to the cameras and the viewing public.
A lot of blogs today have pretty much become somewhat of reality TV, they are a wonderful tool, but take them for what they are worth.
Purporting to be a Christian does not mean automatic immunnity from committing the same sort of evil deeds anyone else does; theres just that extra surprise factor.
B may have emotional issues, but, she was lucid enough to pull off what she did, and therefore should be prosecuted in the eyes of the law.
I personally at this point have a hard time believing anything that anybody who says they are "close" to the family and know whats going on.
But, I also think that anyone who was involved in anyway with this woman or connected to her blog, really needs to do the right thing and come clean about what they know.
BTW, Nobody, thanks for putting the effort into this blog, do you yourself have a blog?
Thanks!
How did she also dismantle her business page? First taking down the main page, replacing it with another page, and then eventually taking the entire page down over the course of several hours...being in the psych-ward and all?
ReplyDeleteNunya; le specifically has said "attempted suicide" and apparently as such a close family member would know.... this is insane... nothing people who are for Beccah are posting makes sense at all....
ReplyDeleteLeah, as I said there are different types of MHUs (Mental Health Units). I am a psych nurse and work with many different facilities - at our crisis center - most times people will come in either voluntarily or on a 72 hour hold placed by a MD or Law Enforcement. At our facility, we offer crisis intervention - usually people come in after suicide attempts or cutting, increased depression, thoughts of self harm, homicidal thoughts, etc... At our facility we DO NOT restrict cell phone use - unless a Psychaiatrist or Therapist orders this. The 72 hour hold is used to evaluate and secure the proper treatment/court ordered intervention that may be necessary for an individual. If needed, clients are often transferred to another (possibly more restrictive or secure ) facility. This could have reasonably been the case with B.
ReplyDeleteI for one am hopeful that she did and is receiving help and am also glad to know that she has some family and/or friends who care about her.
As terrible as her scam was, I can imagine her misery is just beginning in regards to the fallout from all of this
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI'm not "for" Beccah, btw. I can just see this being true.
ReplyDeleteWe'll find out in the next couple of days, I guess!
ReplyDeleteNunya, Nobody said Raechel never "spoke" with anyone but "B". Twitter, blog and text but never actually spoke to anyone else.
ReplyDelete(Because they never existed, at least not in the context of Beccah's story)
How convenient that she was transferred to another facility today.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? If I called the hospital/facility that Beccah is supposedly at and asked to be transferred to her room, I would be transferred if she were inpatient there OR I would be told she was not able to accept calls (which would confirm she was there) OR I'd be told, "I'm sorry, but she is not a patient here."
I know this with absolute certainty because I have made calls to verify people's stories in the past and that is what has happened EVERY SINGLE TIME, regardless of state or type of hospital. The law states the hospital can't give information about the patient to a caller, but they will absolutely transfer you to a patient's room, no questions asked. That's what hospital operators DO.
So cough up the name of the facility. Since you're so sure they won't tell me anything, what do you have to lose?
Le wtf ever!!!!
ReplyDeleteso very many lies....
ReplyDelete::crickets::
ReplyDeletelol
so leBeccah... what other stories would you like to tell us?
ReplyDeletesure got quiet!
ReplyDeleteHey Le, you're changing your story already! You said she attempted suicide, and now you're saying she drove herself to the hospital. Did she attempt suicide, have it not work and then decide she better go to the hospital?
ReplyDeleteIt seems we're flustering you with logic, but these are reasonable questions to ask someone who is "family" and comes here to set the record straight.
keepingitprivate:
ReplyDeleteI know what you are talking about. When someone registers at a hospital, they ask if you want to be listed in the directory, so family can call the facility and be transferred to your room (this was the case w/ my 2 stays, my son's stay, and my daughter's stay), but I'm ot 100% sure that would be the same with someone in a psych ward. I know when I worked on the trauma unit that we had 'private' patients. Meaning if a person showed up asking if we had a patient name John Doe, the answer was never heard of him, or no. These patients were usually the cause of a fatal accident, and this was to protect them from angry family memebers. I would assume that a psych facility would operate in the same manner.

ReplyDeleteI really am not trying to be contrary and don't know if I believe all of this, but I have to say the idea of being able to call a MHU and ask for someone and be transferred to a clients room or ask if they are admitted doesn't fly.
ReplyDeleteIf Beccah did not sign a release giving permission for the facility to acknowlege her presence in their facility - even if she is there as a patient - they will tell you they have noone there by that name. They will say she is not there even if she is there!!
I know this because I do this at work on a regular basis! We have distraught family members that will call looking for their family member that they are concerned about and don't know where they are... and if we don't have acknowlegement from the patient, we tell the family that their loved one is not at our facility even though they could be sitting right in front of me. This is HIPPA laws and facilities are governed by this very strictly.
Any nurses out there want to back this up??
so on her death bed she's giving out all her passwords and asking people who aparently know nothing about this to log on for her because she knows what's been going on even though she's been in the hospital since monday? what??
ReplyDeletele, you keep saying it is fact, but you don't back it up...no offense, but are we just supposed to take your word??? And it doesn't take long to triage a patient who comes in and says "I want to kill myself" those people are IMMEDIATELY put on suicide watch and precautions are taken! I'm sure she wouldn't have been left alone!
ReplyDeleteWhy would we assume that Beccah would feel so much remorse at this point, she would feel suicidal? Although, this is the logical next step for someone who would want to begin the process of garnering yet more sympathy, in othewords to cover her butt, because everything is hitting the fan. And take advantage again of the people out there who are praying for her.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletele you said she was hospitalized Monday afternoon...what do you consider as afternoon? Raechal said on her Twitter she talked to be Monday at 2:30 in the afternoon and then again around 9:30 that night...the first time you posted you talked about her so impersonal referring to her as "this woman" and didn't say you were family til a few posts later...
ReplyDeleteLeah, thanks for the clarification there.
ReplyDeletele1354, no one here has any reason to lie. They aren't going to benefit from lying. The only people who have a reason to lie are the people who are trying to cover their butts!
You have changed your story more than once since posting in the past, what, 30 minutes? I'm sorry, but if you were telling the truth, you would have shared this information yesterday and not waited until today. If you knew the truth, you wouldn't be stumbling around trying to convince people of your story and then saying that you don't care if people don't believe you.
I am interested in facts. Back some up- and we're good.
ReplyDeleteI am praying still for all involved.
yes amy. I agree. I don't think a psych facility would confirm a patient to a random caller (family or not).
ReplyDeleteoh gimme a break y'all. Don't buy it. This person is a loon....it very well could be Beccah herself , who knows?? But she speak rather vaguely and keeps back peddling and tlking in circles to be a member of Becca's family.
ReplyDeleteBut keep letting her talk.....................I'm sure it is bringing the authorities closer to her.
definition of fact:
ReplyDeletefact - a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened
i don't see any verification! i'm just saying. even if you are telling the truth you can't prove it so no one is going to believe it. i don't think anyone will believe anything about this chick unless God Himself comes and tells us. all that surrounds her is lies for us. sorry.
so all of her family know what she did then? You all know that she lied, that she committed fraud, and that she as a 'good christian' lied in God's name? That she used God as a device to defraud hard woring people of their thoughts, prayers, money, and love? What Beccah did was despicable, and even if I was a Christian I wouldn't pray for her. I took prayers away from HONEST people with children who were REAL and gave them to her....
ReplyDeleteAnd I never said death bed. But once settled into hos. it would make sense that people close to her would want to help with removing personal info on the web. Last thing she needs when she gets out.
ReplyDeleteI am glad there is one person on here who understands the medical system. (always thought it was common sense......Hippa)
Definitely interested in the facts, but you have provided no proof to your claims. Excuse us if we are guarded after being completely duped into believing this woman was living a tragedy. For all we know, you are beccah...I believe you are..JMO
ReplyDeleteAh , but Le , what makes these statements "facts"? because they come from the keyboard of some person that joined this blog 30mins ago under a brand new account?
ReplyDeleteYou know what will turn your story into a fact??? concrete evidence!
a suicide watch doesn't mean someone is sitting with the client 24/7. It means the client is under closer watch and observation than those who are not on a watch. And again, there are facilities that ALLOW cell phones to be used while on a watch!! A client would be searched and all belongings taken away and made sure that there is nothing they could harm themselves with - if someone was hell bent on hurting themselves, they would be transferred to a more secure facility with padded rooms etc..
ReplyDeleteOkay, I had no idea that people had to sign a consent to allow a facility to acknowledge their presence at a facility because I've never had to sign anything like that when I'm at the hospital with my kids. Interesting. I think I'll ask specifically about this the next time we're there for a hospitalization.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of whether that's possible to check up on her being a patient in the hospital, le1354's story does not mesh with the facts laid out on twitter, nor with the blog being dismantled (by family members and friends who had no idea about the deceitful storyline Beccah was playing out). Are we to believe that she made a full confession to her family, gave them her username/password information to her twitter, facebook & blog so they could dismantle everything to (attempt to) hide her tracks, attempted suicide, didn't succeed, then drove herself to the hospital & was admitted a few hours later, thus giving her time to call Raechel one last time and lie about how April was having tests done in another room but she (Beccah) didn't know exactly what was being done?
I can't believe your story. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. It doesn't make sense.
are we suposed to believe she was in the hospital and says to her family... guys, i have done a terrible thing, i created this blog.... begged for prayers... fake baby... yadda yadda, please go home and log on to my sites and remove information about me from everything because i'm afraid some one is going to find out. WHAT!!?? i thought she "did know what was going on" you are so full of it! give me a break! and with that, i'm out!!

ReplyDeletehere is the thing Le .... a person would not speak like this :

if they were speaking FACTS. get rid of the word "would" in your sentence , and you're getting close. the word "would" in your sentence is wishy-washy..and very "removed"
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAmy- in the posts by LE this person says Beccah was admitted, drove herself whatever the story is to a hospital not a facility. I believe you on the rules and regulations of actual Mental Health Facilities but this is not where B was when she made the calls to Raechel...LE said she was in the hospital and recently transferred to a faclity
ReplyDeleteOk, Le, let me ask you this, why are YOU allowed to give out information, but no one else is???
ReplyDeleteThe acknowledgement is not specific to ALL hospital stays - it is specific to mental health facilities and crisis/detox centers. Different privacy laws.
ReplyDeleteone more thing... le
ReplyDeleteif you were family you would be enraged by all the things people have said on here... and you're not. you're playing all calm. what are you?
Let me get this straight. You have been reading here since yesterday, then you decided to post information about Beccah's whereabouts, but you're deliberately being vague because you are uncertain that people here are interested in facts?
ReplyDeleteYeah. Okay. So in other words, it is OUR fault that you are full of crap. We made you post vaguely & we made you change your story. All righty then. That's not one of the hallmark signs of sociopathic behavior at all! Guess it runs in the family!
And le could have created a blogger acct in order to post on here, since you need one to make a comment.
ReplyDeleteCall me naive, but I do believe she is hospitalized...
Whitney, I don't know where she drove herself to,I don't know if this story is true! I agree there are many parts that don't add up with the timeline in terms of shutting down her blog/twitter/business site, etc..
ReplyDeleteWhat I can say is that most hopitals have a mental health unit, so that if she drove herself, (this seems a little strange if she had just made a suicide attempt - usually persons in this situation dial 911 and cops or ambulance picks them up) she would first have been evaluated at an ER - then possibly transferred to their mental health unit - or thransferred to a crisis center. I don't know- just speculating!
I agree it sounds far fetched...
Maybe she is hospitalized, but I don't believe it's been since Monday night...Maybe Tuesday night...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the law varies from state to state as far as cellphone usage and whatnot.
ReplyDeletemy experience was..... i checked MYSELF into a facility , that was a suicide/rehab faciluty...all of my belongings were collected. I was "patted down" to ensure that i had nothing on my body that could harm me , or anyone else. My cellphone was taken . My shoelaces were taken. Basically anything and everything that could be detrimenal to my or others health was taken. i was under a strict 72 hour watch (standard)...but after evaluations etc , the "rules" got more lax.
However , one thing that remained the same , throughout my entire stay , was the monitoring of calls.
I was thinking she would be at an ER, which is why I believe she would have been left alone. Most ER's don't have rooms equipped for people threatening suicide. And there are many objects that can help a person commit suicide ina regular ER room...cords, sheets, etc.
ReplyDeleteright thats what I mean..I felt like you were getting frustrated that no one was getting you. I wonder though if she came into an actual hospital saying "im thinking about killing myself" if she would have had a moment or been allowed to use her cell phone at that point as opposed to being allowed to use one in a facility if she was transferred there for further eval. But Le does say that she was in a hospital when she talked to Raechel not being allowed to use her phone once transferred to a facility
ReplyDeleteSince I still believe she was here posting as "InHIStightgrip", I don't believe she was in the hospital for an attempted suicide on Monday night.
ReplyDelete6turners; I think it varies from facility to facility.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine someone walking into a hospital ER, going to the triage desk to check in and when asked why they needed to be seen, saying, "I attempted suicide at home and need help," being told to "go sit over there and we'll call you soon?" I would hope that any hospital ER would escort such a person back to a room immediately. At what point, then, would that person have the opportunity to make a call to Raechel and continue perpetrating the lie?
ReplyDeleteIf she was so overcome with guilt/remorse/stress/whatever that she attempted suicide and then realized she needed help and drove to a hospital to check herself in, then WHY would she call Raechel to lie some more?
That doesn't make sense to me at all.
btw Nobody kept eluding to something earlier about release of more info...unfortunately I wasnt following...anybody wanna clue me in?
ReplyDeleteThis is so silly....this LE person chooses midnight to make her big "announcement'
ReplyDeleteC'mon guys....just ignore it.
i'm not saying that beccah couldn't be , or shouldn't be in a mental facility (i hope she is) but i do not want some other lunatic leading people astray once again.
Stick with NOBODY , she knows the facts....and her vagueness is genuine....she really is trying to protect people.
A family member of Beccahs would not share with the world that her loved one is in a facility...besides the obvious need for privacy , this family member is also admitting that beccah is guilty. She is confirming with us that family members have torn down her website(beccah's) for her own sake??? well , if authorities are getting any of this......this family member is not doing beccah any justice.
All this Le is doing is trying to gain our sympathy....the EXACT same ploy that Beccah pulled all along.
Le , if you ARE indeed a family member...i would suggest you quit landing your beloved 'b" into further hot water....if you were really trying to respect her , you would respect her privacy and not share ANY information with complete strangers
Clearly, InHIStightgrip is Beccah (Nobody made this pretty clear), and it seems unlikely that B would be posting under aliases from a hospital bed if she is, indeed, dire enough to attempt suicide.
ReplyDeleteI'd have so many more questions for LE where she actually a concerned family member, so what a bummer that she seems to be Beccah!
Le is probably just a silly little "fan" or something
ReplyDeletei have to go to sleep y'all.
A lot of y'all have made some very informative and interesting points that i think have really helped in getting to the bottom of this.
Bless you all. xx
OK I am psych nurse a a mental facility. None of our patients are allowed to have cellphones. Each unit has a payphone and that is what they us.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when we get someone in that has attempted to commit suicide or even threatened to.
A staff not a nurse is assigned to watch them 24 hours a day. Have to be within arm's length of them. They can make and receive phone calls through the payphone. They do not have any computer access.
This is just what happens at the facility I work at. Most are different.
If B was really in the hospital then she had people working for her taking all of that stuff down. And Nobody said for sure Inhistightgrip was her. Who was posting on here yesterday. So how was that person commenting if she was in the hospital?
Sorry le you maybe telling the truth but we have no reason to believe you.
I too am turning in, it is 1:40 on my clock. Thanks for the lively and civil debate.
ReplyDeleteGood night :O (big yawn)
I agree. I'm off to bed for the night, as well.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight, everyone!
Maybe Le is telling the truth. Nobody did refer to things coming to light in the next couple of days...
ReplyDeleteAnd then again, maybe I'm just tired.
LE do you care to address any other aspects of this situation? Like, why did B do this, in your opinion as someone who knows her well? And, was she doing this by herself or are others involved?
ReplyDelete6turners our facility is kind of like the one you are talking about. We take anything away from the patient that could be harmful to themselves or others. They are searched every night before bed as well sometimes throughout the day. But we do not monitor phone calls.
ReplyDeleteI wished Nobody was still on so she could tell us if she knows this le person is lying or not. Goodnight everyone.
ReplyDeleteOh and if she did drive herself to the hospital it is just one of those "here I am, everyone look at me, I need attention" moves. She only done it cause she got caught and is trying to escape being held accountable for what she has done. Seen it too many times.
ReplyDeleteWow! What did I miss while I was searching for a house today!!??
ReplyDeleteHogwash, people. Rubbish.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at what has transpired in the last few days. At least one person we know of is responsible, and I don't care what anyone says, a couple other people aren't looking as angelic as most people are believing them to be. People have been lied to, stolen from and had their emotions drug through the coals.
Of course someone is going to show up and say she's tried to kill herself. I mean, that's the most plausible way to try to get people to go from angry to feeling sorry for her. Let's distract them by what's gone on with a sob story. Next thing you know, her house will burn down, her dog will get run over and she'll break a nail and some ding dong will be here posting about it to try to make people feel sorry for her so everyone here will forget what has gone on.
I've said it once, I'll say it again. People are not who they appear to be. This is not the work of just one individual. There are too many versions of "the truth" given out by different people and there are blog posts and time stamps and tweets to prove it.
It's gone so far now that they're going to make up anything they want to make up so they can sit back and take great delight in the fact that everyone here is trying to figure out what's going on and really what's truly going on is they're just filling up the net and your minds with more BS.
Don't assume that because it's posted here that it's true. Don't ride the wave they're tossing out to you. Take the time to distinguish the true victims from the fraudsters here. McMama didn't do this. Everyone else involved though, stinks as far as I'm concerned.
Take a step back and take a look at what you know to be true facts. Concentrate on the contents of posts, timestamps and tweets because that's all there really is to go on-there will be nothing else provided that you can believe.
We've already been lied to continuously. It's time to stop being lied to, time to stop trying to come up with theories based on bait and lies that are being tossed out, because in the end it's not going to get anyone anywhere.
Cheers, friends.
Oh. And one more thing! When my son or my daughter acts up to get attention, the one thing I know that I should NOT do is give in and reward their behavior by giving them attention.
ReplyDeleteThe people involved in this, well...they're kinda like my kids. They've done horrible things and look at the attention they've gotten! And they like it! They want more! So they're going to try to perpetuate this thing as long as they can to keep getting the attention.
So you gonna keep feeding their little monsters and making them feel good and important? Or put em in the corner, where they belong?
Just my opinion.
Good night. I mean it!! For real! I swear!
I will acknowledge that people have been hurt because of this situation...but it has gone too far, in my opinion. As Christians, we are called to pray for everyone, that includes our enemies and people that hurt us. It does appear that Beccah has deceived many and is guilty of sin...as we all are. God offers her the same forgiveness he offers us all and correct me if I'm wrong, but the Bible says to forgive their transgressions, as Christ forgave ours. We can get all holier than though and try to pretend that Beccah is less of a person than we all are, but the turth is that she is a child of God too. Whatever is wrong with her, I hope she does find the help and healing she needs. As Christians, we all should want that.
ReplyDeleteI think the devil has taken over this situation. I am saddened and appaled to hear that people are calling, emailing, and contacting people who might have known her, or are her family. They have done nothing wrong, and I don't think a bunch of investigative bloggers should be violating people's privacy like that. So far, no one has proven to be involved other than Beccah. The prayer and they blog at once united us, now has us bickering and fighting like school children. Once we prayed and rallied together, now we just sling mud at each other. I will not do that. I don't need the details, I don't care. I was duped, and I was angry at first. Now I'm just sad at the way all the commenters and once followers of this blog are responding.
It is not our job to pass judgement on anyone in this case. If anyone feel they have a claim because of money, then contact your loacl authorities to see if anything can be done. For the rest of us who prayed and devoted our time, God knows our hearts and that will be honored.
Let's move on and act like the Christian praying women and adults that we are. I am not allowing the devil any more of a foothold in this situation when it comes to myself.I don't want to see Beccah "ruined" and I don't care to find out anymore deatils. I just pray for healing for all involved.
I see all of le's posts are gone except for one.
ReplyDeleteYes, what is up with le deleting all posts but one?
ReplyDeleteThe things I miss when I'm in bed!
ReplyDeleteWhat (or who) happened?
Why all the deleted posts?
I think she must have just missed that one.
ReplyDelete(And trust me...I've been here and posted before. Rebecca is my name, but scamming isn't my game.) :)
ReplyDeleteNyone care to clarify, or am I left with reading between the lines?
ReplyDeletele is someone thought to be beccah or a 'fan' of her. trying to stick up for her saying she was in a mental ward or something. her story was just that it seemed...a story.
ReplyDeleteThings that make you go "Hmmmm."
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda!
hmmm. is about right. it's insane how this is all happening. i feel like i'm watching an episdoe of csi or something. except it's all real. b is real. and hurt some real people. it's too bad we all can't just change the channel!
ReplyDeleteRebecca... no worries...I am a "Rebecca" too. Not the same one , fortunately.
ReplyDeleteapprox 400,000 people in the USA have the name "Rebecca".
i have to admit though it will be hard to not hear the name becca(h) and not think of all this craziness
ReplyDeletele, posted that Beccah has been in a mental ward since Monday night. But since we all know that Raechel talked to her (assuming she is innocent in all of this, since I'm trusting Nobody) that would make the mental ward story false...Tried to say she maed the call FROM the hospital, which i don't believe for a second! I'm pretty sure le is beccah in disquise, although he/she claimed to be a family member and it was 'fact' that she was in the hospital, but didn't want to provide proof of this 'fact.'
ReplyDeleteThanks for backing me up, 6turners. And thanks Mom, for the wonderful name. :)
ReplyDeleteI know, Amanda! Great name, but has a bad ring to it, right know.
I'm doing the waiting game to see if new developments arise. I can't imagine the loose ends not being tied up. I certainly don't wish for any more craziness, but hopefully peace will come out of this eventually.
I have no clue who this Le person is. They waited until I was gone of course to comment. Last I heard Beccah is ok. She has been seen and talked to by people. That was as of last night.
ReplyDeleteWow I missed so much! I shouldn't have slept. Why did 'le' delete all their posts?!
ReplyDeleteI figured this Le person wasn't legit...just seemed to shady...
ReplyDeleteFrom what it seems though..the last coversation that Raechel had with Beccah , she was still carrying on the charade. Then , this website bought a lot of info to light (thanks Nobody!)...after that , Beccah would not answer the phone.
ReplyDeleteso , i highly doubt that Beccah checked herself into a facility because that would mean that she was still pretending to be a new mom while trying to harm herself AND signing paperwork etc to check into a facility...that's a heck of a multitasker
Thanks, Nobody!
ReplyDeleteI'm wholeheartedly glad she is okay. The last thing I want to hear is that a real tragedy occurs.
I'll keep waiting (and reading of course) for the revelation....the answers that will clear this whole mess up. They're out there...right?
Thanks Nobody. I really am glad that she is ok and even after all that she has done , i do feel sorry for her. She is a troubled soul.
ReplyDeleteI would like to invite this Le person to contact me personally if I am misinformed. We will see!
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody think Raechel's silence on this whole thing is kind of weird? That the last post on her blog is still the "joint statement"? I dunno... not saying she's in on it, just that it's weird.
ReplyDeletehttp://wallblank.com/products/transformation
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting!!
'Nobody' seems to think Rachael is innocent in this all, and since I believe she has a lot more info then we do, I choose to believe what she believes, and that Rachael's silence isn't because of her involvement, but for other reasons
ReplyDeleteNobody , but we know that wont happen.
ReplyDeleteAny concerned family member would not give out such details to strangers. And for what purpose? sympathy? why would she care if we felt sorry for her or not? a family member that truly cares , i would imagine would want to reveal as little as possible to complete strangers in order to protect Beccah.
Wow Sharon, that is interesting!
ReplyDeleteRyan and Raechel have a lot at stake here. They are just trying to gather the facts. As I said before do you think that Beccah is just going to pick up the phone and say......"oh yeah I am a big fat liar, and I made this whole thing up!"
ReplyDeleteI think that Ryan and Raechel were very blindsided by this. They waited util the last minute hoping that Beccah would somehow explain this whole mess was just a misunderstanding.
http://wallblank.com/blogs/artists/939512-beccah-rose-beushausen
ReplyDeleteThis story just keeps getting weirder and weirder!! more prayers are needed now for her REAL family involved- who may be shocked, saddened or devastated.
ReplyDeleteThat statement(on the bottom) was made by Wall Blank after a barrage of email were sent to the regarding Beccah.
ReplyDeleteI've been lurking and haven't commented, but I just want to say I read the posts le made last night before they were deleted and I think she deleted them because the writing style was so similar to B's. VERY similar.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know Nobody think Raechel is innocent-- so do I (I think.) Her silence just strikes me as weird, esp. for a blogger who knows how much speculation is going on out there. One would think that she would post SOMETHING (even a short "please pray for us-- this is so hard type statement) to keep the public on her side. I'm just sayin'. :)
ReplyDeleteIn other words, it was obvious.
ReplyDeleteSarah
ReplyDeleteI do agree, but I also respect the choices that she is making.
CPJ
ReplyDeleteI wish I was still on when Le was on. Of course that was probably on purpose.
Does anyone have a cached version of the page from last night? Or a s/s to send to Nobody?
ReplyDeletethere were even several obvious typos in le's comments as if to throw us off...(call phone instead of cell phone...etc) as if to get us thinking..."This is Beccah, right? No, wait, she was a pretty good speller. Can't be." she used the word would a lot as B did- thats indicitive of speculating vs knowing actual fact.
ReplyDeletenobody- we were all thinking (some of us out loud)...nobody, come back!!
ReplyDeleteRaechel did tweet a BIble verse this morning about patience.
ReplyDelete"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12
Yeah. Her first post was full with devotional thought and all (lol).
ReplyDeleteI think no matter what Rachael does she is going to be questioned. If she had jumped right up and tried to defend herself, there would be people that would say whoooaaa why is she so quick to defend herself if she truly is innocent? Know what I'm sayin? One minute I believe she has no involvement, the next minute I'm not so sure. It's hard to believe anything you hear surrounding this right now!
ReplyDeleteAnd since I'm weighing in on the Le situation, I might as well on Rachael too - my best guess is Rachael knew what was going on or suspected something, MAYBE even saw the posts being posted under her name and knew it was not her, but needed to "play the game" so-to-speak until she could catch her redhanded or confront her. Knowing Ms. B was lurking all over the webernet monitoring things as she's "birthing," it would have been safe to go "WHOA! wait a minute! What's happening?"
ReplyDeleteKind of like a scam artist, I guess, let them go all the way so a crime is committed so they can be prosecuted. Let them go as far as they will so you have a clearer idea of their full intentions.
*Sorry, would NOT have been safe
ReplyDelete
