When news broke that the infamous “Black Widow” had been caught after allegedly scamming an elderly North Carolina woman, there was another woman who wasn't shocked by revelations of Sandra Camille Powers' methods of manipulation and deceit. Sandy Hodgins had been through it herself. The 60-year-old South Carolina bookkeeper told FOXNews.com how she had met Powers in August 2005, while Powers was still running one step ahead of a cloud of notoriety that linked her to three mysterious deaths and a staggering number of accusations of lies, fraud and seduction, leading police and the news media to dub her "The Black Widow." “I just wanted a friend, that's the God's honest truth,” Hodgins said. “I don't know if she's schizo or paranoid or whatever. But I can stand before God and be clean, and I don't think Camille can.” Not surprisingly, Hodgins met Powers — whom she knew as Camille — through her church in Charlotte. Hodgins had moved there recently to get a new start after her husband's death. Church members knew Powers as a devout woman whose only husband had died of cancer and who had just returned from years as a missionary in Africa and India.
