Last October, I was in the recording studio with Mike and Teresa Matheny, the couple from Atlanta who adopted Stephanie's son. We were taking a break, drinking coffee, when Mike asked me,
Did you ever see the documentary, Don't Fuck With Cats? I have not seen it, no. Guy starts out hurting animals online and ends up killing a human. It's like this group of normal people come together online where they're like putting together pieces of the puzzle, like the wrapper from the cigarette and the picture on the wall in the hotel to track this guy down. And they eventually give like Interpol what they need to find this guy. I feel like it's a good analogy for sort of our little Facebook group. The rule of the group was once you're admitted, you have to sort of write out your family's story with how you connected with Tara. there were so many lies it's like you're almost able to piece things together in your story based on the information in other people's stories yeah there was like someone that said that you know tara collected eight ten fifteen thousand dollars or whatever you know on october 25th and we're like we were with her in the hospital that whole day so it's like where she was clickety clacking on her cell phone it's like she was in there robbing people blind while our son was being born
From Sony Music Entertainment and Perfect Cadence, this is Baby Broker. I'm Peter McDonald. Episode 6, Don't Fuck With Parents. By September of 2018, the Facebook group Courtney Edmond helped start had evolved into a crowdsourcing juggernaut of Tara Lee's pissed-off former clients. By October, members of the Facebook group were telling their stories to FBI agent Matt Sluss. By November, Sluss' investigation had swelled to include 150 couples, all of whom felt Tara Lee had misled, defrauded, or swindled them. Courtney's Facebook group was the seed from which the investigation grew. I want to zoom in on a moment in early October before the FBI got involved, when the seed took root. Julie Falkenberry, one of the three women who started the Facebook group, told Courtney that she wanted to cold call Talia Getting and Tanya Corrado. They were the two lawyers who represented many of the couples in Tara Lee's adoptions. Here's Courtney.
She did. She called them, and after a couple hours of Julie talking to them, Julie called me back, and she's like, I don't know if they're involved. Like, I don't know what's going on, but it doesn't seem like they are. I was like, oh, no. She's like, listen, I have another call with them later. I'm going to add you in, but you stay on mute. You listen. So I just listened in to the call. And they did sound pretty distraught. They did sound like they had no idea what was going on. They were scared for their business. They were scared for the families.
