    ID thief: Mother's death led to identity thefts

    ID thief: Mother's death led to identity thefts
    The Associated Press


    COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The Montana woman who stole the identity of a missing South Carolina woman to attend an Ivy League school says she became a criminal after her mother's death.

    In transcripts released Friday by CBS News' "48 Hours Mystery," Esther Reed says she took on the identities of others to start over. The 31-year-old Reed says she would change identities as the real people closed in on her scheme.

    Reed pleaded guilty in August and was sentenced in February to more than four years in federal prison for stealing multiple identities and faking documents to gain entry to three colleges.

    She attended Columbia University under the name of a missing Greenville teenager, but authorities don't think she had anything to do with Brooke Henson's 1999 disappearance.

    Reed is serving her sentence in West Virginia.

    Why arrest her? They dont charge illegals with ID theft, but they charge her? Hey let's keep things in perspective, she stole the id's of those who were presumed to no longer be living.

    Right wasen't the ruling that "they had to know they were causing harm to that person".
