2. The Real Identity Of Lori Erica Kennedy - Was She A Spy?
Four years ago, Lori Erica Ruff (nee Kennedy) shot and killed herself in the driveway of her ex-in laws home in Longview, Texas. She left behind a husband, from whom she was separated, and a young daughter. What seemed like a tragic suicide soon became a hunt for Loris true identity when her husband, Jon Blakely Ruff, opened the locked box she kept in her closet for years. He discovered documentation that showed she was a sophisticated identity thief. Jon discovered a birth certificate and death certificate of a young child named Becky Sue Turner who died in a house fire in 1971, a drivers license from Texas in the name of Becky Sue Turner with his wifes photo issued in 1988, scribbled notes and dates, name change paperwork and a social security number application. Putting the pieces together, Lori once used the name of Becky Sue Turner, only to legally change her name in 1988 to Lori Erica Kennedy. She then submitted a request for a social security number the same year and effectively erased any documentation of her as Turner. She went on to receive a degree from University of Texas under her assumed identity. She met her future husband at church and never talked about her past. Social Security Administration Investigator Joseph Velling has been pursuing the case since her death. He has followed references from her student loan applications, possible friends and lovers, and medical records all in an attempt to discover her true identity. Otherwise, Lori Erica Kennedy will remain an apparition.
