WATCH: Casanova allegedly Made Up Terminal Diagnosis for Sympathy and Money: 'He Broke Me'
Ken Boyer, who says he was
diagnosed with terminal cancer, was granted his dying wish to marry his long lost love
Michelle after they reconnected on Facebook earlier this year.
“I’ve got an illness I’m not supposed to
survive from. It’s tough for me to accept this but I have,” Boyer said at the
time. “I'm ready. I've had a really good life.”
A video of their nuptials
in May went viral — but not all was as it seemed.
Multiple women now claim
Boyer actually dated them at the same time before he got married and they say
he used a fake cancer diagnosis to gain their sympathy and their money.
“He’s not a victim,” one of
the women, Trish, told Inside Edition. “He’s a predator.”
“He’s despicable,” another
woman, Barbara Jones, added.
A third woman, Karen,
called him “a sick, twisted psychopath.”
The women all claim Ken
Boyer’s statements that he had terminal liver cancer were a fairy tale.
When his heartfelt story aired on local news station WKMG in Florida, they were
shocked.
“When I saw that on
television the first thing I did was call Channel 6 and tell them that the man
is a fraud,” Barbara said.
WKMG investigative reporter
Mike Holfeld started digging into Ken’s story.
“He’s a master manipulator,”
Holfeld told Inside Edition. “He told every one of these women he loved them.
[With] every one the opening line was, 'Do you believe in love at first sight?'
I mean the guy was a classic romantic con man.”
Barbara says she gave him
$22,000.
“He told you he was dying?”
asked Inside Edition’s Chief Investigative Correspondent Lisa Guerrero.
“Yes,” she said, becoming
tearful. “I've dealt with many people that have lived through cancer and I
wanted to help him. I wanted to make his life easier.”
Karen said he told her he
wanted to marry her. She claimed he even asked her to try on the same ring he
ended up giving his new bride Michelle.
“What stage cancer did he
say he had?” Guerrero asked her.
“Four, and that he wouldn't
make it to his birthday,” Karen said.
But in June, Boyer did
make it to his 60th birthday and has kept right on going. Even his own
daughter, Hannah, calls him a conman.
“He’s been lying to people
and stealing from people for as long as I can remember,” she told Inside
Edition. “He went so far as to shave his eyebrows and his head to make people
believe that he was going through chemotherapy.”
When Guerrero tried to talk
to Boyer outside his home in Missouri, he wasn’t happy to see her there.
“I have a gun and a permit
to use it!” he told her while clutching a handgun.
Even his new wife Michelle
started shouting at Guerrero.
"I'm trying to talk to
Ken Boyer," Guerrero said. “Ken, do you have cancer?"
“It’s none of your goddamn
business!” he responded.
“Why are you threatening me
with a gun?” countered Guerrero.
“I didn’t threaten
you," he said. "I had a gun in case you came on my property."
And he didn’t have anything
nice to say about the women who accuse him of being a liar, calling them
“scorned.”
“They never gave me a
goddamn dime,” he said. “I took them everywhere. I treated them like queens.”
When she asked him for his
response to the claims that he used cancer to elicit sympathy and money, he
didn’t mince his words.
“Get f***ed!” he shouted.
But Barbara Jones said the
experience changed her life.
“He broke me,” she said.
“I'll never ever be the same person I was before.”
Jones has filed a civil
suit against Boyer, alleging he owes her $22,000. Boyer denies the allegations
and is fighting her lawsuit.
