This season on Nobody Should Believe Me, we're covering a story that happened right in my own backyard.
There is a family in Renton that I want to introduce you to.
Mom, Sophie, went on an inspiring trip to Zambia in her college year.
She's since adopted two girls.
One of them has an incredibly rare disorder.
Doctors say it's a one in a million chance.
Sophie Hartman's family was in the spotlight in 2019 as she fundraised on behalf of her supposedly sick child.
But in the spring of 2021, it all came crashing down.
So, this is Detective Orwork with the Renson Police Department.
Can you just state your name for me?
Sophie Hartman.
In 2019, King5 first met Sophie Hartman after she adopted two sisters from Zambia.
She told us one has a rare neurological disorder called alternating hemiplegia of childhood or AHC.
Today, she faces second-degree assault charges against a child, her own daughter.
If she wasn't guilty of these allegations, how horrific.
I mean, she seems like a saint.
Supposedly
has this very rare progressive disease.
But from my observations, she's like the healthiest kid I've ever seen in my life.
Would it surprise you if I told you that AHC is not a terminal disease?
Yes, it would.
And we as Haven Church got the opportunity to support her and hold her up with our prayers and
doing whatever we could to
help her to get through that situation.
She allegedly had this journal entry that talked about how she had an issue with lying.
Every time I go in, like to the doctor, she wouldn't be exhibiting those symptoms.
I'm like, I know this sounds crazy, but I'm not making this up.
This is not, this is not.
Yeah, well, you're the mom, yeah.
Did you ever witness having what Sophie calls one of her episodes?
I did not.
I think that all of the signs and symptoms are here for, like, it's obviously a concern that she's pushing this child towards death.
Season five of Nobody Should Believe Me starts January 2nd.
Available wherever you get your podcasts.
Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.
When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre junk.
When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.
Oh, come on.
They called it truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.
Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.
Whatever.
You were made to outdo your holidays.
We were made to help organize the competition.
Expedia, made to travel.
