Pathological liars, like notorious fake blogger Mark Whitecotton, dribble out the drama bit by bit. He thrives on the attention and pity after he posts an outlandish story, and when it dies down, a new drama is developed.
The faked mugging/murder incident of July 2007 evolved into a trail/preliminary hearing in August 2007, then a pair of trials in January 2008 (were the teenagers convicted?), and now it has become an episode of Law and Order: Special Victim’s Unit- “Liar.” Note to Mark, it is impossible to acquire HIV through a ficticious event.
“Where’s the proof it didn’t happen?” Mark Whitecotton’s “Steve” persona or his “Joshua” troll or maybe his “Gary” queen will say. Well, ficticious events don’t leave paper trails, therefore there is no proof. But you can examine data collected in newspaper archives and county criminal courts and determine that no little girl was murdered on July 17, 2007. And since no murder ever happened, why should anyone believe that “Steve” was mugged and raped? If it truly happened, “Steve” could provide the name of the victim (he supposedly attended her wake and met her parents at the first trial/hearing) and clear up the whole “misunderstanding.” But since the event never happened, Mark Whitecotton as “Steve” will never provide that one tidbit of data.
Considering all of the other lies- the death of “Marc” and the use of Ard Hoyt’s pictures on the “Steve” blog and numerous online profiles, why do a small handful of people still believe that Mark Whitecotton’s blogs are real people? That’s certainly a wonder, but then many people also believe in Santa and Satan during some phases of their life.
