A Pennsylvania woman accused of pretending to have terminal brain cancer to collect thousands of dollars from friends, family members and supporters is now being sought by the FBI, years after she was charged in the fraud scheme.Vanessa O’Rourke, 37, is accused of falsely claiming she had glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, and using the story to raise money through donations and fundraising.According to the FBI, O’Rourke told relatives and friends in 2015 that he had been diagnosed with the disease and needed to travel to Australia for experimental treatment. Investigators say the claims were false.O’Rourke was a 28-year-old brain surgery student at Temple Med at the time and received $11,740 in donations from more than 140 people between October 2015 and July 2016.“Through his false and fraudulent pretenses, his family and others provided funding and assistance,” the FBI said in a statement.O’Rourke traveled to Australia in April 2016 but did not receive any medical treatment. Instead, he spent his time participating in leisure activities. After returning to his home in Harleysville, near Philadelphia, O’Rourke persuaded family members to continue raising funds on his behalf. Relatives organized a fundraising page and even held a benefit concert at a local restaurant, where attendees paid $20 for admission. Some of the money raised was later used to fund another trip to Australia in 2016.The case ultimately led to O’Rourke’s conviction in a Pennsylvania court in May 2018 on 15 counts of wire fraud. An international arrest warrant was subsequently issued, but investigators have so far been unable to locate him.Authorities believe she may be living in Queensland, Australia. The FBI has renewed its appeal for information as efforts continue to find O’Rourke.
