At the time of her death, the press reported she was homeless, which was not the case; estranged from her husband, she was living with her boyfriend in Woodland Hills, California.
This is how the story goes: One day, cute little Dakota, living in small town Ohio, turned on her computer and decided to turn men on everywhere in the world, using nothing but a camera and an Internet connection.
She would take to Facebook to post lengthy rants about how her dog was ill and required surgery, and hit up former colleagues and employers asking for money.
