Samantha Azzopardi: “Faux Pair” | S4 E3

  • Summary

  • Samantha Azzopardi had been living under the alias “Emily,” a 14-year-old gymnast from Russia, when she convinced her friend Hope’s family to adopt her. In this instance, however, her story got much darker than anything else Samantha had ever presented. According to Hope, Emily claimed that she was severely traumatized by a murder-suicide in her family. Hope’s family believed her, and took her in for an undisclosed amount of time. But, when Hope’s family tried to enroll Emily in high school, school authorities raised questions about her birth certificate. Samantha would eventually move on to a whole new identity, and brainwash an innocent young backpacker who continues to be traumatized by the experience today.
