St. Louis Today posted the story of the woman who communicated with the man for eight months before he asked for money due to an emergency. From the article:
"But last summer, the man claimed he was stranded in Nigeria after a business trip and asked Shepherd to send money. Shepherd sent $4,500 in $100 bills inside a book to West Africa... 'I trusted this man,' Shepherd said. It was the first time he had asked for money. 'That's why I believed.'"
