Former UIHC administrator sentenced 12 years for 30-year-long identity theft scheme

“Since 1988, Keirans led a productive life, obtaining a high-paying job at UIHC, marrying, and raising a son, all while living under the stolen identity of William Woods, a sporadically transient man who Keirans had briefly worked with at a hot dog stand in New Mexico.”

Matthew Keirans lived as William Woods for over 30 years. When Woods tried to prove who he was, he got 428 days in jail and 147 days in a mental hospital. A detective and a DNA test finally sorted it out. Keirans got 12 years.
