In a shocking turn of events, Walter Primose and Gwynn Morrison, a couple once suspected of having ties to the KGB, have been convicted of using the identities of two deceased babies for several decades. As reported by the New York Post, the couple, both in their 60s, were found guilty of conspiracy, passport fraud, and identity theft in a trial held in Hawaii on Monday.

During the trial, the judge referred to them by the names they had assumed - Bobby Edward Fort and Julie Lyn Montague. It was revealed that these names actually belonged to babies who had passed away in Texas when the couple lived there.

The prosecution revealed that Primose had utilized his stolen identity to join the Coast Guard, where he obtained security clearance from the Defense Department. Remarkably, this allowed him to work as a defense contractor. The couple's illicit activities went even further, as they managed to obtain driver's licenses and passports using the stolen identities.

Their motive for assuming new identities came to light when a former classmate from their Texas high school testified that the couple had long desired to change their names to escape significant debt. The State Department confirmed that the couple's previous home in Texas was lost due to foreclosure.

Last year, the couple's case gained notoriety when prosecutors presented photographs of them dressed in what appeared to be authentic KGB uniforms. However, the spy angle was later dismissed by prosecutors, as the couple's defense lawyers claimed that they had simply worn the jackets for amusement on one occasion.

Primose and Morrison are set to be sentenced in March. They face stiff penalties, including a maximum prison term of 10 years for making false statements in passport applications and usage. Additionally, they could be sentenced up to five years for conspiracy charges and mandatory consecutive terms of two years for aggravated identity theft.

This astonishing case serves as a reminder of the potential dangers posed by identity theft and the lengths individuals may go to assume new identities and avoid consequences. The sentencing hearing in March will determine the final outcome for Primose and Morrison, shedding further light on the consequences they will face for their deceitful actions.
