I just forgot, m'kay?

From 4029tv.com:
The mayor of an Arkansas town resigned on Wednesday, claiming he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan worshippers nearly three decades ago.

Centerton Mayor Ken Williams said he has been living under an assumed name for nearly 30 years. He had been mayor since 2001.

Williams told authorities he was born Don LaRose and that in the mid-1970s, he was a preacher in Indiana. He said he was abducted and brainwashed into forgetting all about his life as Don LaRose...

Let me see if I understand this. Centerton, Arkansas mayor Ken Williams resigned last week after an injection of "truth serum" made him realize that he was brainwashed by satanists in the 1970s. Williams is actually Don LaRose, a former preacher in Indiana who was married with two kids. In 1980, he changed his identity to escape the unspecified satanists and to ostensibly protect his family.

So he didn't lose his memory, really, he made a plan and ran away. He co-opted the identity of a man who was killed in a car accident in 1958, then got a new life for himself and abandoned his family so he could start fresh. Nice.
