A strange impersonation case looks like a real life version of a character made famous by Anthony Perkins portrayal in the Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho.

Thomas Prusik is accused of forging his mother’s death certificate and impersonating her to continue collecting her Social Security checks since her death in 2003. He even went so far as to impersonate her to renew her driver’s license in April of this year.

Seems strange that someone could get away with that type of fraud for 6 years.

It might have gone on longer had he not been involved in a criminal investigation connected to a foreclosure case.
