The Cayuga Demara 's.

But then Demara had left anyway.

Ferdinand Waldo Demara.

The Cayuga Demara.

While in the navy, Demara was accepted for medical training.

People accepted Demara's claims because it felt right to believe him.

Not wanting to lose a trained doctor, Demara's application was fast tracked.

Other notable serial impostors and fakes have relied on techniques similar to Demara's.

In 1951, Demara was transferred to be ship's doctor on the destroyer HMCS Cayuga.

This time Demara created a new identity, Cecil Hamann, and enrolled at Northeastern University.

Demara was not some kind of genius either- he actually left school without any qualifications.

The plans proceeded but Demara was not given a prominent role in the new institution.

From this point until his death in 1981, Demara would struggle to escape his past notoriety.

In 1956, an educational programme that provided prisoners with magazines to read led to Demara's discovery once more.

Relying on textbooks and Horchin, Demara successfully treated all three- even completing the amputation of one man's leg.

After the two men parted ways, Demara took copies of Cyr's paperwork and moved up to Canada.

One of the prisoners found the Life magazine article and showed the cover picture of Demara to prison officals.

Claiming to be a cancer researcher, Demara proposed converting the college into a state-approved university where he would be chancellor.

Until this point, Demara had offered everything his colleagues would need to believe he was a capable member of staff.

According to biographer Crichton, Demara had an impressive memory, and through his impersonations accumulated a wealth of knowledge on different topics.

After returning to America, there were news reports on his actions, and Demara sold his story to Life magazine in 1952.

Demara says in the biography that starting fresh committees and initiatives often gave him the cover he needed to avoid conflict and scrutiny.

Another factor to consider when asking why people would believe Demara was the rising dependency on paper proofs of identity at that time.

Needing help with the immigration paperwork, Cyr gave all his identifying documents to Demara, who offered to fill in the application for him.

Wanting to avoid further public scrutiny and scandal, the Canadian government elected to simply deport Demara back to the US in November 1951.

Unlike other icons who have appeared on the front of Life magazine, Ferdinand Waldo Demara was not famed as an astronaut, actor, hero or politician.

By impersonating academics and professionals, Demara focused on career paths where at the time there was high demand and a degree of scarcity, too.

So, in order to get into the medical school, Demara created his first set of fake documents indicating he already had the needed college qualifications.

In his biography, Demara notes that he spent the time after his return to the US using his own name and working in different short-term jobs.

As his preoccupation was more with prestige than money, it can be argued that Demara had a harder time than other impostors who were only driven by profit.
