Police in Westmoreland County have added to the theft charges filed against a couple in Somerset County. Police charged Kaycee and Geoffrey Lang with stealing from family and friends. Investigators say the pair faked a pregnancy and then the tragic death of a newborn child, to do so.Watch the full story from Pittsburgh's Action News 4 reporter Jim Madalinsky in the video player above. According to the criminal complaint, the Langs claimed their newborn son died hours after he was born on July 3 at Conemaugh Health System in Johnstown. Police said the couple later posted pictures of the child on social media and a GoFundMe account was started a short time later, asking for help with expenses for a personalized urn. Kaycee Lang allegedly told police the child died from respiratory distress syndrome. Police said they were contacted by a Cynthia Dilascio concerned about the situation. "I don't know if they were doing it for the money," said Dilascio. "I don't know what their motive was to hurt your family and everybody its just sick."Dilascio said she threw the couple their baby shower, but that she also turned them in, when she became suspicious. According to court documents, the police investigation revealed the photos that were posted online were not of a dead child. Police said the baby in the photos matched the appearance of a newborn look-alike doll. A search warrant was executed at the Langs' home, where police said they found a newborn baby doll, a personalized urn for Easton Lang and other items.Police also said there is no record of Kaycee Lang or Easton Lang at the hospital, coroner's office or Conemaugh Memorial OB-GYN.Multiple witnesses told police they had donated to the GoFundMe account and also had given the couple gifts at a baby shower that was held in Westmoreland County in May. The Langs are facing misdemeanor theft charges and are scheduled to appear in court in October. Read the statement from GoFundMe below: "This type of behavior is not tolerated on GoFundMe.
