The Man Who Built a Life to Steal His Heart

Curiosity turned into catastrophe: a tournament chess set left mid-game on a church pew was the last visible piece of an elaborate romance fraud that used a man's routines as its blueprint. How did a fabricated online persona, a scraped photograph, and eighteen months of observation lead to a theft that touched family, work, and a care facility?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the morning a stranger found the chess set through the months of contact that followed, tracing the online account, the daily games, the transferred messages, and the gradual shift into real-life manipulation to ask: when does being known become being owned?
Person: Stanley Keller
Date: December 9, 2019
Location: Holloway Presbyterian Church
Account: Andrei_Volkov_Chess
Alias Photo Source: professional directory
- Stanley Keller was 52 years old in winter 2019 and had lived alone on Ember Ridge Road for 11 years.
- Bob Keller was diagnosed with early-stage vascular dementia in 2017 and received weekly two-hour visits from Stanley every Wednesday.
- Stanley logged into Regent Chess almost every Tuesday and Thursday evening and used the handle StanK-Oregon.
- The account Andrei_Volkov_Chess was registered 14 months before March 12, 2019 and observed Stanley's activity for about one month before sending a game request.
- Pieter Van Horn’s photograph, scraped from a professional directory, was used to create the Andrei persona though he had never played online chess or known Stanley.
