FRANKLIN, Tenn. (KTLA) -- Officials say a man used an online dating website to steal not only a Georgia woman's heart but a big chunk of her money.
Police in Franklin, Tennessee, say 34-year-old John Martin Hill was taken into custody Tuesday night at a hotel and is being held on a fugitive warrant out of Gwinnett County, Georgia.
The Gwinnett County Police Department says an Alpharetta woman reported she met Hill on the site, fell in love, and gave him $80,000 to purchase a house and furniture. After that, she says he ceased all contact.
