Matthew David Keirans, a 59-year-old man from Hartland, Wisconsin, built his life on the stolen identity of a former coworker called William Donald Woods.
Over the last three decades, Keirans has opened bank accounts, taken out loans, and secured employment at a hospital using Woods’ name, personal details, and social security number.
In 2019, Woods tried to alert the authorities about the truth. However, Keirans gave a false statement to law enforcement, which led to Woods getting arrested and later placed in a mental hospital.
