A Scottish woman executed a meticulous plan with which she deceived her husband and family for many months, after she faked a complete pregnancy in a devilish, cunning way using a prosthetic belly and a very realistic doll to deceive her husband and family into believing she had given birth to a daughter before tragically claiming her death.
According to "Daily Mail", the story began when "Kiera Cousins," aged 23, announced her pregnancy on social media, amidst congratulations from friends and relatives.
Initially, no one was suspicious, especially after she organized a gender-reveal party in the town of Caldercruix near Airdrie, where she appeared with a noticeable belly and the excited movements of a mother expecting her baby.
To carry out her plan, Kiera bought a prosthetic belly used in nursing training and started wearing it daily to appear in various stages of pregnancy. She also prepared a baby girl's room with all the details, and when the supposed delivery date approached, she posted pictures of an infant on her account, claiming she had given birth to her daughter "Bonnie Lee".
But the most cunning step came when she suddenly disappeared for a few days, only to return later and inform everyone that the baby had tragically died, asking not to be questioned out of respect for her grief. Her behavior garnered widespread sympathy, resulting in an outpouring of condolence messages, while her partner continued to support her without a moment of doubt.
Unfortunately for her, the ruse did not last long. After a few days, her mother noticed strange behavior and discovered a realistic doll resembling a newborn in her bedroom, where everything fell apart as the family realized that the pregnancy, birth, and even the child's death were all an elaborate illusion.
Scottish police intervened after an outcry erupted online, where Kiera received a flood of criticisms and attacks, raising concerns about her mental health. Insiders confirmed that the plan was so meticulously executed that it was hard to believe, as she purchased an expensive doll and photographed it professionally to look real.
After the deception was revealed, Kiera closed her accounts and then partially admitted what had happened, saying that her mother discovered the doll and that she didn't mean any harm but needed help. She affirmed that her family was unaware of her plan.
The incident was treated as a mental health crisis rather than a criminal deception, so no reports were filed against her by the family or partner.
