Will the real William Woods please stand up?

A homeless man insisted his identity had been stolen. Another man, miles away, claimed he was the real William Woods — and had the documents to back it up. What followed is a story about more than fraud. It’s about how we decide who to believe, and what happens when society refuses to see the vulnerable as victims. Writer Charlie McCann joins Crime Story to tell the twisted case of William Woods.
