Police: Delran Woman Swindles Friends with Cancer Scheme

Friends and family fundraised thousands for Lori Stilley, brought her meals and even paid for a wedding under the notion she was dying of bladder cancer.

Lori Stilley's "miracle" recovery from bladder cancer was bogus—just like the cancer itself, police say. Claiming she was dying from bladder cancer, the 40-year-old Delran woman received meals, money, gifts, even a wedding from family and friends who organized charitable efforts on her behalf. Turns out, Stilley didn't have cancer at all—and now, she could face serious jail time. Stilley, of Suburban Boulevard in Delran, was charged with third-degree theft by deception, according to Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi and Delran Police Chief Alfonso A. Parente, Jr. She surrendered today with counsel at the Delran Police Department and was released after posting $25,000 bail. After a long investigation, authorities found out …

I was a huge supporter of Team Lori Rocks. I am still disgusted, outraged and hurt by this. If you see this, Lori, or any member of your family, I need to ask. Was it worth it? The pain, anger, humiliation, deception and the cost all worth it? What is the cost of a true friend, Lori? Did you EVER give a damn about any of them? People like you are sick and deranged. I feel for your children the …   more ›

With the economy getting worse & more budget cuts by the cities; the crime rate will greatly increase. There will be more desperate people with weapons committing crimes. Bunnell may have been locked up before & did not want to go back to jail. Maybe he panicked, & thought if he took a random shot at the cop,the cop would not persue him & he could get away. He was wrong, the cop returned fire & …   more ›

Here is a wonderful, good-hearted, loving person. Somehow, she went down the wrong path. Don't judge her for this as things must have gotten very bad for her to do this. All her life, she was the most giving, fun, soft-hearted, good person. She would give anyone the shirt off her back. I don't know what happened here, but I am sure it was an act of desperation.
