Iowa Hospital Executive's 35-Year Identity Theft Unraveled
TL;DR Summary
A Wisconsin man, Matthew David Keirans, stole the identity of William Donald Woods 33 years ago, leading to Woods being incarcerated and institutionalized after Keirans used the stolen identity for employment, loans, and more. Keirans was eventually caught after Woods reported the identity theft to the University of Iowa Hospital, leading to an investigation that confirmed Woods' story. Keirans, who initially insisted Woods was "crazy," eventually admitted to using Woods' identity in every aspect of his life and now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison and a possible maximum sentence of 32 years in prison and a $1.25 million fine.
