Christopher Edward Buckingham Christopher Buckingham The man, who calls himself Christopher Edward Buckingham, took the identity in 1983 from a nine-month-old boy who died 20 years earlier. He used the birth certificate to obtain a national insurance number and passport. Buckingham, who claims to be 42, was arrested after a passport check as he boarded a Calais-Dover ferry. He pleaded guilty at Canterbury Crown Court last week to making an untrue statement to obtain a passport and faces up to two years in prison when he is sentenced next month. Police believe that Buckingham, who at first claimed to be a lord and had notepaper bearing the crest of a title that has not been used for 200 years, is hiding a "terrible" secret. Det Con Dave Sprigg, the Kent detective who led the investigation, said yesterday: "I think he has gone to such lengths to hide his identity - and even now, with the threat of prison, still refuses to reveal it - that he must have something terrible to hide. I want to know what that secret is.'' Buckingham met his Canadian wife Jody when he was backpacking in Germany in the early 1980s. They came to England in 1983 and married on Dec 7, 1984, in Watford. Buckingham told his wife that he had been living on a kibbutz in Israel. The couple, who have two children - Lindsey, 19, and Edward, 17, divorced eight years ago. When his ex-wife was told by police that they were suspicious about her ex- husband, she replied: "I feel exactly the same way. I'm longing to know who he really is." Although he owned a three-bed semi in Northampton, Buckingham was living in Zurich and working as an IT consultant at the time of his arrest. <unquote> Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/10/18/nbuck18.xml -- Eddy Landzaat ================================================================ Altijd op zoek naar de familie Van Veen in Utrecht en Amsterdam.
