A former Nacogdoches couple suspected of spying for Russia faces federal charges after investigators say they stole the identity of two dead children and used them for decades.

Walter Glen Primrose and Gwynn Darle Morrison, both in their late 60s, were arrested Friday at their home in Kapolei, Hawaii, on four counts related to identity theft, and court filings this week link them to Russian intelligence.

The couple made Nacogdoches their home in the 1980s before Primrose used a fake identity to enlist in the U.S. Coast Guard and later become a Department of Defense contractor.

When you’re done spying, you move back to Russia.

If they’re convicted, I hope they rot in prison.

What is the non-espionage reason for two people stealing the identities of dead children, working for the U.S. government and posing for pictures in KGB uniforms? Just really, really committed cosplay?
