Joseph Newton Chandler III died in a car crash in 1945. He was 8 years old. Joseph Newton Chandler III killed himself in 2002. He was 75.  An investigation into the contradictory dates led United States Marshals first to the revelation that the elder Chandler had stolen the younger's identity and then to the doorstep of Philip Nichols, whose quiet, reclusive father lived 24 years with a dead boy's name.
