Oakdale Police arrested a 31-year-old Hilmar woman on suspicion of bilking a kind-hearted Oakdale woman out of $8,500 on a bogus story that the suspect’s 10-year-old son had cancer and had eventually died from the disease. According to police, Natasha Ann Uilani Medeiros had initially contacted the woman who was in her late 60s this summer when she went to the Oakdale home using her 10-year-old son to sell candy for what they portrayed as a school fundraiser. During the contact, Medeiros learned that the victim’s husband had died of cancer.
