   JACKSON, Miss. — A woman has been charged with trying to make   
   money off the horrific burning death of a Mississippi teenager.   
      
   Janet Posey, 39, of Blue Springs, was arrested Wednesday by   
   investigators with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection   
   Division and the Union County Sheriff's Office, according to   
   Attorney General Jim Hood. Posey is charged with one count of   
   attempted false pretense and one count of communications fraud   
   for allegedly setting up a scam to raise donations online for   
   the family of 19-year-old Jessica Chambers.   
      
   Hood said the Internet service provider worked quickly with the   
   Attorney General's Office find the physical address the activity   
   came from, Hood said.   
      
   "She was trying to get people to give money and acting as if she   
   was a family member," Hood said. "We got online, found her   
   Internet protocol address. She tried to cover it up. Our   
   investigators will continue to work and see who else is   
   involved."   
      
   Chambers was found in Courtland, Miss., on Dec. 6, walking away   
   from her burning vehicle with burns covering more than 98% of   
   her body. She was airlifted to a hospital in Memphis, where she   
   later died. Officials have classified the investigation as a   
   homicide.   
      
   Posey was arrested before she raised any money, according to   
   Hood.   
      
   She was booked into the Union County Detention Center on   
   Wednesday. Jail records show she was released on $40,000 bond   
   late that night.   
      
   If convicted, she faces up to 15 years behind bars, 10 for false   
   pretense and five for communications fraud.
