Kris, Sarah Everson

Couple 'Sorry' For Lying About Sextuplets To Get Gifts



Police Still Investigating Case





POSTED: 12:19 pm EDT April 13, 2006



GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. -- A couple who falsely claimed to be the new parents of sextuplets apologized Wednesday night for the hoax.

Kris and Sarah Everson, who duped people into sending them money, admitted to police Tuesday night that they made up the story, but the couple never publicly addressed the issue until Wednesday night.

"We didn't mean to hurt anybody by doing what we did," Kris Everson said. "We did it out of necessity for financial reasons. Anybody who helped out will be paid back in full."

The Eversons' plea for financial help included a Web site asking for donations, specifically gift cards or cash.

The Grain Valley Police Department is still investigating just how many people donated money to the Eversons. Although no charges have been filed, the Eversons could face criminal charges.

"We're sorry for everything we did and for hurting anyone that we hurt," Sarah Everson said.

The Eversons' story first appeared in an Independence, Mo., newspaper. They claimed that Sarah had given birth to four boys and two girls last month and that the babies were hospitalized out of sight in intensive care.

The paper said it's reviewing its verification practices.
