A 74-year-old Washington veteran has been sentenced to just over two years in prison for stealing his missing brother’s identity and collecting his disability checks for more than 30 years.
Chris Sayler, of Toutle, Wash. near Mount Saint Helens, admitted he had been collecting his partially blind brother’s checks for decades. But the mystery around what happened to Jarvis Sayler — who was last heard from in 1988 — remains unsolved. — Tessa Gorman, acting U.S. attorney for the western district of Washington “Our hope was that the investigation could shed light on what happened to Jarvis Sayler.
Red flag The case went cold until 2013, when facial recognition software at Washington’s Department of Licensing flagged a renewal application for a driver’s license for Jarvis Sayler because the picture appeared to be the same as what was on file for his brother Chris. Chris also had operated a bank account for decades in his brother’s name where Jarvis’ monthly disability check was deposited and withdrawn. Records also showed that debit cards connected to that account were routinely used at businesses near Chris Sayler’s home.
“I knew it was wrong, and always felt guilty about what I did. All my life I’ve always tried to do right, but this one thing hung over me,” he wrote.
