What Makes It Easy To Do Also Makes It Easy To Get Caught Doing It

This is a creepy story about a creepy guy who decided one day he didn't want to be married, didn't want to be with his family, didn't want to be himself. So in 1993,he told his wife he was going to the hospital, and then he vanished. He left everything at home, including his passport, and was gone. So the state of Indiana declared him dead, his wife remarried, and that was it until 2016, when a man in Florida did an Ancestry.com search and discovered that his dead uncle was somehow showing up alive, which he definitely was not. And it turned out that the uncle's identity had been stolen by the missing man, who used the dead man's death certificate -- taken from the grieving father -- to get a birth certificate, a ticket to a new life. You know, it seems a little too easy, doesn't it? (Washington Post)
