Just a thought.... On facebook I found 3 other women who have the exact same name (an unusual one) as I do (lets just say my name is Jenny Doe). The other "Jenny Does" and I comment on each other pictures and laugh when our family and friends get confused.
But it occurred to us 3 that if we wanted to do an identity theft we could just use the others info and we already have a license with that name on it. I have a cousin with the exact same name and when I tried to renew insurance last month, they told me I had had an at fault accident in my 2011 Tundra in a town hundreds of miles away. Turn out it was my cousin.
So Kristen Smith may very well be named Kristen Smith but is using the other Kristen Smith's DOB, address, ss#, etc. Didn't the cops say there was a warrant for her unrelated to the babynapping? So KS might have pretended to be the OTHER KS to avoid arrest, to get credit cards, etc.
And Kristen Smith has to be a rather common name. According to this link (
http://www.intelius.com/results.php?ReportType=1&searchform=name&qf=Kristen&qn=Smith) they have 100 Kristen Smiths located. For a few bucks, you can get all the info on the such as relatives, current and former addresses, age, etc.
Kristen ROSE Smith would be rarer but still easy enough to modify.
Definitely a curious case here. I'm just glad the baby was found safe.
