According to court documents, Matthew David Keirans, 58, also willfully worked with authorities, providing them with forged documents that would ultimately land his victim incarcerated and committed to a mental institution for nearly a year and a half.
Keirans first met his victim, William Donald Woods, who ran away from home at age 16, "around 1988" — which is as specific as court documents get — while working at a hot dog stand in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
About two years later, in 1990, the Keirans are said to have assumed Wood's identity "in every aspect of his life," purchasing all manner of forged documents, including a Kentucky birth certificate, U.S. Social Security Number, and I-9 forms, all of them. which he later used to secure employment at an Iowa hospital in 2013 as a remote administrator.
