"I really trusted her, for a long time, we were really close," Sallie Cook tells INSIDE EDITION. Sallie is still reeling from the stunning news that police say her one time best friend is a notorious crook.
Jocelyn Kirsch and boyfriend Eddy Anderton have been dubbed a modern day "Bonnie and Clyde," allegedly stealing the identities of their friends and neighbors to fund a luxurious lifestyle that included five star trips to Paris and Hawaii.
"They were always going somewhere or doing something. They would say we're going on vacation...we were always invited. We, of course, could never afford to go," says Sallie.
Sallie met Jocelyn at Drexel University where they were both students. They became inseparable, heading out on the town night after night. Sallie recalls her time with Kirsch telling INSIDE EDITION, "We'd walk into any bar - she'd find the first guy she could snuggle up to him...make friends try and get free drinks...very, very flirty."
Sallie was there when the 20-year-old Kirsch hooked up with Anderton. However, in a new, shocking revelation Sallie says Kirsch was cheating on Anderton with another man. "She didn't really want to pick. She didn't like having to be completely exclusive," she says of Kirsch.
Police say the couple embarked on a crime spree, stealing the identities of their neighbors in an upscale Philadelphia apartment building. Remarkably, Sallie says, Kirsch even stole from her, swiping her ATM card and using her pin number to withdraw $600.
Sallie says she did not pursue pressing charges, which she says she realizes now may have been a mistake, because at the time she wanted to "salvage the friendship."
But, according to Sallie, the thievery did not end there.
"I made a list of the things that happened to go missing when she'd visit," Sallie says. This included "bottles of perfume, articles of clothing, pieces of make-up, anything you can think of that's easy to grab."
According to Sallie, the young Bonnie and Clyde couple had already planned their next exotic getaway. Sallie and her fiance had been invited to go along.
"They invited us to go to Morocco with them for Christmas and of course we said no because we can't afford that I mean we're college students," an incredulous Sallie tells INSIDE EDITION.
A few days after the invitation, police raided Kirsch and Anderton's apartment and arrested the duo.
Sallie says, "When I first saw their pictures on the Internet I sent her a text message, 'How is jail?'"
Sallie has little sympathy for her former best friend, a rich kid who could have had it all but got carried away by greed. Instead Sallie says, "I hope she gets what's coming to her, I really do..."
The couple is expected back in court in February.
