In a shocking revelation, a Canadian man has admitted to living a deceitful life for 37 years, involving multiple relationships and a fabricated identity. Ronald Stan, once a 32-year-old plumber with a wife and two children, orchestrated an elaborate scheme in 1977. After setting fire to his pig barn, he faked his own death and relocated to the United States, assuming the name Jeff Walton in New Orleans.
Walton, who later married three American women and fathered a son named Jeff Jr., has finally come forward to disclose the extent of his duplicity. He explained that his decision to escape from Canada was motivated by a desire for his wife to use the insurance payout from his supposed death to settle their debts. However, once it was revealed that he was alive, she promptly returned the insurance money.
“It’s been almost 40 years that I’ve lived this lie. And actually, I’ve been a real good boy, except for the philandering. I paid my taxes; I did everything right,” Walton told The Star.
