The CSI episode (and a similar Law & Order episode) is most likely based on the Kaycee Nicole scam a few years ago in which a woman posed online as a teenager dieing of cancer. Blogged the whole thing, got a lot of support, both emotional and financial.

Shortly after her death it came to light that Kaycee Nicole never existed.

Strange how much emotional support these people can get from strangers who never even meet them. They will do anything to protect them in some cases.
