The scheme began at a hot dog stand in 1988.
Over the next three decades, Matthew David Keirans would trade places with William Donald Woods, steal his identity and send Woods down a path to spend more than 400 days in jail.
On Monday, Keirans pleaded guilty to identity theft, admitting to using the false name in “every aspect of his life.” He now faces up to 32 years in federal prison.
