A Grand Rapids-area man faces four counts of stealing the identity of a retiree who's been missing nearly a year.

Rami Ikbal Saba also is charged with four counts of bank fraud. He was arraigned yesterday in U.S. District Court.

A federal indictment alleges Saba tried to steal more than 440,000 dollars from Donald Dietz within days of the 66-year-old Saranac man's disappearance in September. The indictment alleges the 36-year-old investment adviser was pressuring Dietz to advance him money.

Saba is NOT charged in Dietz's disappearance. His trial is to begin next month.
