"A man charged with an elaborate real estate scheme in New York City is not who he claims to be. Initially, investigators at the Queens district attorney's office charged him as Carl Avinger. But in March, they got a call from a man who had seen the case in the news saying he was the real Carl Avinger, and that the man they arrested had stolen his identity."
"According to court, jail, and prison records obtained by the newspaper, these are the names that prosecutors know so far: Carl E. Avinger, John Stamp, Bobby Jackson, Craig Taylor, Graig Taylor, Anthony S. Williams, Kevin C. Windley, Kevin Windleg, Corey Blake Duncan, Marco Ferrari, Marco Ferrare, Elvis Taylor or Elvis Teller. But incredibly, authorities still don't know the man's actual name."
"Per the Times, the man began his criminal career under the name Elvis Teller in 1992, when he was just 16 years old, he told police. He was arrested six times that year, including for a burglary in Manhattan. Over the next decade, he would be arrested another 29 times. In 1995, the man was convicted for assault and weapons possession and served two years in prison, and was later thrown back in jail for violating the terms of his release."
A man charged in a New York City real estate scheme used a stolen identity and was initially charged as Carl Avinger. A different man later contacted authorities claiming to be the real Carl Avinger and said his identity had been stolen. Investigators uncovered a lengthy list of aliases tied to the prisoner spanning nearly three decades. Arrest and prison records list multiple names including Carl E. Avinger; John Stamp; Bobby Jackson; various Taylor spellings; Anthony S. Williams; Kevin Windley/Windleg; Corey Blake Duncan; Marco Ferrari/Ferrare; Elvis Taylor or Elvis Teller. Authorities still do not know his true name.
