Clearly, this woman needs help but she has also made legitimate claims of racism harder to believe.
From the New York Daily News: Forensic evidence indicates that a 20-year woman suffering from
extensive burns set herself on fire then invented a story about being
doused in flammable liquid by three men who she said also wrote the
initials KKK and a racial slur on her car, state police said Tuesday.
On Sunday at 8 p.m., Sharmeka Moffitt called 911 from a walking trail
in Winnsboro and told authorities she had been doused in flammable
liquid by three men wearing white hoodies. She suffered extensive burns
on more than half her body and was taken to LSU Health Sciences Center
in Shreveport for treatment.
After two days of investigating the case, authorities said Tuesday that
the forensic evidence indicates Moffitt set herself on fire.
"The evidence does not support the statement that she was attacked by
three males," said Louisiana State Police spokeswoman Lt. Julie Lewis.
Lewis said Moffitt's fingerprints were found on a lighter and lighter
fluid recovered from the scene. Investigators also believe Moffitt used
toothpaste to draw the KKK initials and racial slur on her vehicle. DNA
evidence also points to Moffitt, she said.
