Around the turn of the century, Cassie Chadwick conned Clevelanders out of millions of dollars - and she did it all by claiming to be the illegitimate daughter and heir of steel titan Andrew Carnegie. In this episode, 19 News reporter Jen Picciano unravels the wild story of the original "Queen of the Con," who also operated as a jewel smuggler, a brothel madam, and a clairvoyant.
