Both Boys Were Confirmed Dead (Accidental Deaths) in Idaho

One child passed away in 1971, while the other died in 1973. And, all the while, it's believed these two men have been living under the dead boys names. According to the Pasco Police Department:

We have believe that both individuals may have begun working in the telecommunications industry in the early 1990's but have no employment records. Their work history and personal movements suggest ties to multiple states, including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Texas and California. Their identities first surfaced in Salem, OR and Seattle, WA in 1990.

Because the suspects have operated for so long using the stolen identities, traditional identification methods have been challenging. Dective Lee is asking anyone with information about the TRUE identities of the males above to contact her at leej@pasco-wa.gov, or by calling 509-545-3421.
