A 35-year-old woman is accused of luring an 86-year-old man into a romantic relationship and then stealing more than $1.2 million in cash after claiming she had cancer and needed a "spinal transplant," police said.
Candy Ely “baited” the man “into a false relationship as a love interest,” after meeting him five years ago in a restaurant, according to the Illinois State Police. Ely was married at the time.

Ely told the man she had cancer and needed money for treatment and “even a spinal transplant,” the state police said in a statement.
Chicago police records show Ely was first charged with taking money from the man after a theft was reported March 14 in the 4100 block of North Mozart Avenue.

I’m guessing that in addition to being gullible his eyesight isn’t too good. /s
So, um...
...does this mean she’s not going to get the spinal transplant she needs?
No go zone on the crazy/hot matrix.

Poor dude. He could’ve bought more action than he could ever handle for $1.2 Million. And from girls that look better than magazines
Sadly, he was probably lonely and just looking for real companionship though
There are a lot of Republican legislators in need of a spinal transplant. :)
The man was married.

She’ll have to get behind all the republicans that need one. It’s a long list.
“married” can be very far from having companionship. actually can be the very opposite
Is she a congresswoman?
Not yet.
Republican’t. LOL. Now that’s a perfect description!!!
Whatta babe!
