Florida station 10 News reported that Jasmine had earlier filed a report of luggage theft at Tampa International airport. Jasmine whose real name in Alisha Hessler listed that the bag which was stolen off the American Airlines conveyor belt had 3 breast prosthesis inside. Cops tracked down the thieves using the surveillance footage and returned the back but not before taking an official inventory.
When the stories of her pictures and video did the rounds, a site Snopes connected with connected the young woman to a Tampa, Florida massage therapist named Alisha Hessler and that’s when they realized the hoax.
This is not the first time Alisha Hessler is in news. She made headlines when she had an alleged attacker stand on the street corner holding up a sign, ‘I beat women’. But when the police tried to contact Alisha, she never filed formal charges. In March 2013, she was arrested for charges of ‘fraudulent use of personal information’.
Alisha went into hiding ever since the new of 3rd breast grabbed national attention. While she claims to have paid $20,000 for the operation, in reality her family struggles to make ends meet. Her grandfather Kenneth appeared not to have any idea about the transformation. Even her neighbors claimed of rarely seeing her.
Few days back, she denied giving an interview to the WTSP reporter saying that she is not yet comfortable with interviews yet.
If carefully noticed in the Youtube video, the colour of the third breast is different from her body colour.
