".............. Maxson says her troubles began when she met a man on Facebook. WFAA has decided not to show his picture or identify him because we can't confirm his real name and image. Maxson said the man told her he was a Marine stationed overseas. Slowly, she fell in love.
"He even asked me to marry him, and I agreed," she said.
Then, he asked her to help him out financially. He sent her some money orders claiming it was money that friends owed him. He asked her to deposit the money orders in her account, then wire the money to him overseas.
"I sent them to where he told me to send them to where he was at," she said. "At that time he told me he was going to Nigeria." ............................"
Can that sentence be shortened with the original meaning to "I sent them to where he told me he was at"?

Something has gone wrong with the original sentence. It may just be badly punctuated. Perhaps it should be this:
"I sent them to where he told me to send them – to where he was at."
I.e. "where he was at" is an explanation or elaboration of "where he told me to send them".
Your sentence has almost (not quite exactly) the same meaning.
"I sent them to where he told me to send them – to where he was at."

GPY"I sent them to where he told me to send them – to where he wasThis would be better without "at". Although there are people who put "where" and "at" together, it is unnecessary.at."
