After her death her husband opened a locked box which Lori had kept hidden. It it he found scribbled notes, birth certificates, death certificates, driver's licenses with his wife's photograph but under different names and in different states.

This Tuesday you can join Times reporter Maureen O'Hagan and Joe Velling, Special Agent in Charge of the Seattle investigations office of the SSA, for a live chat and updates about the case at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

These stories are always fascinating.
ReplyDeleteA real-life thriller! Maybe someone will make a movie about her. The kind of thing people believe happens only in fiction.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a story! How hard she worked to cover her identity. I hope she will be reunited with her past at some point in time!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever hear anything please post the story!
so interesting but also so very sad. What was she hiding from? Why didn't she trust her husband enough to tell him the truth? I hope she has found peace in death.
