By Sania Husain, Staff Reporter, The Pawprint

70-year-old man, Robert Lizarraga, pleads guilty to identity theft of a decades-old deceased child.

Lizzagarda was facing financial problems which was later on confirmed as the cause of the crime. Lizarraga possessed about $12,500 from retirement pensions alone. 

Lizarraga now faces 10 years of imprisonment along with 2 years of probation. There would have been more consequences if not for Lizarraga having no previous criminal records and being compliant with authorities. 

The relationship Lizarraga had with the child is still unknown.
