Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society. Posing as Anna Delvey, a German heiress, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000. She forged checks to get money from banks and charmed people into paying for extravagant meals, and travel. Sorokin was convicted on a handful of grand larceny and theft of services charges. After serving her time, the 31-year-old was released from prison, now, fighting being deported, but again Sorokin falls on her feet. First, she landed a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story, then began selling her artwork, and then Sorokin says her home confinement and social media ban is “more restrictive” than jail. Now, Delvey shines with her bedazzled ankle monitor on  ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.” The glitz didn't last long however,  with Delvey exiting the competition after just two week.. She says the network and show used her to drive up ratings.    Joining Nancy Grace Today: Wendy Patrick: Trial Attorney & author of “Red Flags” Jeff Cortese: Former FBI supervisory special agent Dr. William July: Psychologist John Lemley: Crime online investigative reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Judge John Judge reviewed the motion for a change of venue, he made the tough decision to move the trial to Ada County. Now, the Idaho State Supreme Court has designated Boise, nearly 300 miles from the crime scene, as the new location. The Supreme Court cited the large jury pool, courtroom accommodations, and less saturation of prejudicial media as factors in their decision. In accordance with Judge Judge’s wishes, the case was also remanded to Judge Steven Hippler. Kohberger was secretly transferred to the Ada County Jail on an Idaho State Police plane. The Latah and Ada County sheriffs decided to work with State Police to make the transfer as safe and efficient as possible. The 6-hour drive from Moscow to Boise presented several potential complications, such as a blown tire or road closures. The 2-hour early morning flight mitigated those concerns and went smoothly, according to Ada County Sheriff’s Captain Ryan Jensen. Bryan Kohberger is being held in the maximum-security section of the Ada County Jail in one of its 88 solitary cells. He reportedly will not receive any additional security, following the same procedures used in recent high-profile cases. All inmates receive either a mainline, vegan, or kosher meal delivered to their cell three times a day. Due to overcrowding, with the jail operating at or above 92% capacity, many inmates sleep on the floor. Inmates are allowed to purchase snacks and other small items from the commissary once a week.

Allegations against Sean Combs are growing. An attorney announced that his firm has been contacted by more than 3,285 people claiming to have been victimized by Combs. After vetting, 120 individuals plan to file civil claims against Combs and others. Among these allegations, 60 are males, 60 are females, and 25 were minors at the time of the reported incidents. The youngest victim was nine years old at the time of the occurrence. Another lawsuit will be filed by an anonymous woman who claims she was drugged, raped, and impregnated by Combs when she met him overseas. Additionally, attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd announced plans to file suit on behalf of a victim who alleges Combs raped her in 2018. Mitchell-Kidd described the incident, stating that Combs assaulted her client at a small gathering hosted by a mutual friend with ties to the music industry.

Police in Cleveland are asking for the public's help in finding teen Madison Rich. She has been missing for over 40 days. The search began the night of August 14. Maddie was at home, but sometime in the early morning hours of August 15, she left. Maddie had left home for a few days in the past, but she had always maintained contact with friends via social media. At the beginning of this incident, when her mother found Madison gone on the morning of August 15, she was worried but discovered her daughter was still communicating on social media. For the next few days, Maddie communicated with friends via phone and Snapchat. Her family was able to track her on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. Maddie's mom became increasingly concerned because Maddie has medical issues that require medication, but her medication remains at home. Every day since Maddie has gone missing, her mom Tracy has been posting to social media about her daughter and, thanks to a local company, has placed two large signs in her front yard. Each sign displays Madison's picture and information. Lakewood police say when Madison Rich left her westside home in Lakewood, she initially stayed at a friend's home in Cleveland and communicated with other individuals via phone and Snapchat. On August 18th, Maddie left the friend's home, and law enforcement picked up her phone's GPS location in Warrensville Heights, Ohio. Police tried tracking her phone after August 18 and determined the phone has been rendered inoperable, has been turned off, or the battery has died. Regardless of the reason, the phone has not registered with any cell tower since August 18. Police have sent out a BOLO for 17-year-old Madison Rich. "Maddie" is 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 110 pounds, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a spider web tattoo on her right arm and a mole on the left side of her cheek. Police are asking the public for help in finding Maddie, hoping to bring her home before her 18th birthday this month.  Joining Nancy Grace today:  Tracey Rich -  Madison Rich’s Mother Shaunna Burns - Hailey Burn's Mother Derek Smith - Criminal Defense Attorney  Jeff Casey - Former Secret Service Special Agent of over 23 years; Board Member with Cleveland Missing; FB: https://www.facebook.com/clevelandmissing.org/ Dr. Angela Arnold – Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA; Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University, Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital Brittany Wier  - Reporter, WOIO in Ohio     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
