KREMLIN GREMLINS!
Spy suspects accused of using dead kids’ names to infiltrate U.S. military
TWO crafty KGB spooks swiped the identities of dead babies decades ago and lived secret double lives in Hawaii, court records charge.
U.S. defense contractor Walter Primrose and wife Gwynn Morrison, both in their late 60s, are accused of using the names of Bobby Edward Fort and Julie Lyn Montague — Texas tots who were each less than a year old when they died in 1968.
According to federal court records, Primrose — a retired member of the U.S.
Coast Guard — used his alias to secure driver’s licenses, passports and Department of Defense credentials, which gave him secret security clearance with the military!
After the couple was arrested on aggravated identity theft and conspiracy charges, Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Muehleck says the FBI raided their home in the Aloha State — known as a prime target for espionage — and found old Polaroids showing the duo wearing uniforms for the KGB, the former Soviet Union’s ruthless security agency!
But Megan Kau, a lawyer for the couple, says the innocent pair are not spies and took the photos as a “joke.”
However, Muehleck charges a “close associate” of Morrison’s confirms she lived in Romania when it was part of the Soviet bloc!
Court records reveal the college sweethearts wed in 1980, but didn’t explain why they supposedly assumed false
identities in 1987 — when they lost their Texas home to foreclosure.
Lawmen say in 1994 Primrose, then 39, enlisted in the Coast Guard as Fort and claimed to be 27 — and served as an avionics electrical technician at an air station in Honolulu before retiring in 2016 and taking a civilian defense position.
Prosecutors want the suspects held without bail — which sources call a hint more serious charges could be looming.
Tonda Ferguson, the older sister of Julie Lyn, says, “For someone to steal her identity for evil, it’s tough. It’s hurtful. I hope they rot.”
