Texas Charges Florida Woman With Online Impersonation in Alleged Crowdfunding Scam Tied to Camp Mystic Victim

Investigators say platform records, along with a recorded admission, connected the donation pages to the suspect.

Overview

  • Prosecutors in Harris County charged 28-year-old Maitlin Paige White of Crestview, Florida, with online impersonation earlier this month, according to court records.
  • Court filings say GoFundMe and SpotFund pages were created on July 8, 2025, using the name of Chloe Childress’ father and Chloe’s photo to solicit donations.
  • Records obtained from both platforms provided the creator’s name, phone, email, and linked bank details, which investigators say led to White and a Chime account.
  • Detectives report that White admitted making the pages and said she was seeking a quick way to make money as a single mother.
  • Court records indicate White was not in custody and no bond had been set, and a separate warning about roughly $1,500 in donations has not been confirmed as connected to this case.
