UofI Hospital Exec Steals Man's Identity for 30 Years

[Cycsk]

Maybe this is how Real Woods ended up in Iowa City....

Now you know the rest of the story.

From the Gazette article:

Keirans worked at the hospital under the name William Donald Woods, an alias he had been using since about 1988, when he worked with the real William Woods at a hot dog cart in Albuquerque, N.M.

and

The real Woods was arrested and charged with identity theft and false impersonation, under a misspelling of Keirans’ name: Matthew Kierans.

Have I missed why this guy felt like he needed another identity? I fear that the reason is going to be very disturbing.

Why is this in The Daily Mail and not a more-local media?

Too busy covering CC for things like this....

Boy, the poor guy whose identity was stolen....

Awful. Talk about miscarriage of justice.

Yeah you don’t just steal another identity because you don’t like the name your parents gave you. I’d start looking at some cold cases around that time and area.

This isn’t the first rodeo for this U of I clown,

Rookie move. Everyone knows that when you need to flee Albuquerque under a fake name, you work at a Cinnabon in Omaha, not a university in Iowa City.
