Walter Primrose and Gwynnn Morrison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

ninja sends in this wild story. It should make a great movie some day. What you see is retired Coast Guardsman Walter Primrose and his wife Gwynn Morrison. The two stand accused of stealing the identities of two dead infants and living under the names (with Primrose’s entire military career under the false name). Primrose continues to hold a security clearance and works for an unnamed defense contractor. There are hints that the two are also associated with Russian intelligence, including pictures of them in KGB uniforms.<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast has the scoop<\/a>;<\/p>\n

A Texas man spent 20 years in the U.S. Coast Guard using a dead baby\u2019s stolen identity, obtaining a secret-level security clearance and baffling investigators who later uncovered information that the man and his wife\u2014who also lived under an assumed name\u2014may have had ties to Russian intelligence, according to court filings reviewed by The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n

Walter Glenn Primrose, 67, and Gwynn Darle Morrison, also 67, are accused of carrying out a mysterious scheme in which they masqueraded under pilfered personas for decades. Primrose, who retired from the Coast Guard as an avionics technician in 2016, then went on to work as a cleared defense contractor at U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

He continues to hold a government-issued security clearance, which investigators say he has had for more than two decades. Last year, a Russian spy ship was observed lurking off the coast of Hawaii for several days. In 2021, a Russian vessel was tracked near Hawaiian waters, in an incident one expert said echoed the activities of the Cold War era.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
