Michigan woman out life savings after romance scammer impersonates 'NCIS' actor
Own SandySelvan/OxfordMichigan/near500000 and fakeNCISMarkHarmon details link WXYZ reporting and attributed copies/path variants. Sparse ABC12 own unnamed metadata qualified through explicit OxfordMichigan/nearly500000/WXYZ attribution, not solely celebrity. Car/home sales only own supported sources, no homelessness or clinical diagnosis inferred from ruinedlife/loss wording.
