A Kentucky man who faked his own death to avoid paying child support may end up spending years behind bars.

Jesse Kipf, 38, pleaded guilty in federal court to stealing peoples’ identities in order to create a fake death certificate so he would be officially listed as a dead man. According to the plea agreement, Kipf accessed the Hawaii Death Registry System by posing as a physician in a different state.

“He completed a State of Hawaii Death Certificate Worksheet, and then, on January 21, 2023, the Defendant assigned himself as the medical certifier for the case and certified that case,” the plea agreement says. “He applied a digital signature for [the physician], providing his name, title, and license number. This resulted in the Defendant being registered as deceased in many government databases.”
