Dirr Family Hoax May 24, 2022

A man named J.S. Dirr posted on Facebook asking for prayers for his wife who had been in a terrible car accident. She was a trauma surgeon who was 35 weeks pregnant. Hundreds of well wishes started pouring in. The Dirr family had been well known for over a decade, updating their followers on their intense family drama- including their son who had battled cancer four times. Turns out, none of it was real.
