Catch Me If You Can II

The story of how one highschool dropout conned her way into several universities and became the subject of a Nationwide manhunt.

Her mind raced through her options. On the one hand, she had a purse full of proof that she was Brooke: her student ID, a Vermont driver’s license, a U.S. passport, an Ohio identification card, a South Carolina birth certificate. She had a part-time job, a rented apartment not far from campus on New York’s Upper West Side and a full course load at Columbia, all registered under the name Brooke Henson.

On the other hand, she wasn’t Brooke Henson.

    “She packed a suitcase hastily, grabbed her two Shih Tzus, hailed a cab and headed straight off the grid.”
