(AP) – A Bulgarian man will spend two years and one day in prison for stealing the identity of a slain Ohio boy.
U.S. District Judge James A. Redden imposed the sentence Thursday for Doitchin Krastev. He pleaded guilty in November after reaching a deal with prosecutors.
Krastev is the son of a prominent Bulgarian couple. He graduated from high school in the United States before dropping out of college and disappearing for more than a decade. Since 1996, authorities say, Krastev has used the name and social security number of Jason Evers, a 3-year-old boy killed during a 1982 kidnapping in Cincinnati.
Krastev used the boy’s name to work for eight years as a sworn investigator for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
