I had a  situation that sounds similar to yours.  Over a number of months a 
lady in a senior position, claimed a number of things, including rape, death 
of her best friend, abusive relationship, etc. All at first very plausible. 
However as time went on, this lady sent bizaare and inappropriate emails to 
her work colleagues. She also used a pseudonym and pretended to be a friend 
of herself and sent them emails. She also had another mobile phone and 
pretended she was someone else. But all the while she was performing at work 
very highly. However, finally one of her colleagues complained and it was 
only when the HR team were investigating that they wondered if she was okay 
and referred her to OH. I referred her to a psychiatrist after spending 2 
hours with her (I am not psychy trained but there was something I couldn't 
quite put my finger on). She had a psychosis, and could not distinguish 
between reality and fiction - all were equally as real. However, she is now 
much improved and has much more insight into her condition which was 
onsidered acute as a result of some stressful events.

So in conclusion - if your lady has a similar mental illness and is lying - 
she may not know it! Perhaps the company would be prepared to pay for an 
independent psychiatric opinion and then at least the business will have 
some clarification.
