I haven't seen this myself, but my sister told me that one of the recent eps of "B&B" aired a statement to not believe everything you see online or something to that effect.

I don't know if this is the reason, but I saw on the news that someone pretending to be Thorsten Kaye convinced an older woman to try to kill her husband so that they "can be together".
