Husband who went Missing 23 years ago found with a new wife and With A Dead man's name!

After two decades and 3 years when Richard Hoagland disappeared, leaving his wife without money and under suspicion, his secret life is finally exposed.

Linda Iseler had at last moved on from her old life — the one where her husband, Richard Hoagland,  left her and their two sons 23 years ago without warning
until one phone call three months ago brought it crashing back.

 That’s when Iseler, 59, learned that Hoagland had been arrested on July 20 and charged with fraudulent use of personal identification in Pasco County, Florida, after allegedly stealing the identity of Terry Symanski, a Florida man who drowned in 1991.

A stray Internet search eventually unraveled his crime. “I’ve had a real upheaval of feelings and emotions,” Iseler tells PEOPLE magazine, of the revelations about Hoagland, 63. “Some of this stuff that I thought I was over — it has come back,” she says.

 Hoagland remains in jail on a $25,000 bond and has pleaded not guilty.  Since his arrest, details have slowly emerged about what happened to Hoagland since 1993, and how he ended up across the country from Indiana, in Zephyrhills, Florida.

When authorities tracked him down there, he had a new name, a new wife and another child. “This guy is a coward,” Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said at a news conference. “He left a family behind. It’s sad for the victims all around.”


 Meanwhile, Iseler says she has leaned on her faith and her family, especially her oldest son, in the years after her husband vanished. She’s remarried, and she’s happy. But she still has questions. Now, finally, she might have answers. “I wanted to know why,”  “Why did [Hoagland] walk out? How could he do it?”
