For years, people had followed the family's ups and downs on the internet, forming relationships with the father, wearing wristbands in Eli's honor, and donating money for cancer research in Eli's name. But when one online "friend" became suspicious and started sleuthing, the whole family was revealed to be a figment of one woman's imagination. Elizabeth Vargas reports. (OAD: 1/11/13)
