Purpose

2. This affidavit establishes probable cause to arrest Walter Glenn

PRIMROSE (AKA: Bobby Edward FORT), and Gwynn Darle MORRISON

(AKA Julie Lyn MONTAGUE), for conspiracy to commit an offense against

the U.S. in violation of 18 U.S.C § 371; Aggravated Identity Theft, in

violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028A; and False statement in application and use

of passport, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1542. It is alleged that PRIMROSE

and MORRISON agreed and conspired to make false statements in a matter

within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Defense by unlawfully

assuming the identities of deceased persons Bobby Edward FORT, and Julie

Lyn MONTAGUE, respectively. Using the unlawfully assumed identities,

PRIMROSE and MORRISON applied for and were issued U.S. passports,

DOD identity document cards, and social security account cards, using the

name of the deceased persons, Bobby Edward FORT, and Julie Lyn

MONTAGUE. PRIMROSE and MORRISON both knowingly and willfully

used and possessed, without lawful authority, the means of identification of

another person, in connection with unlawful activity that constitutes a

violation of Federal laws.

3. The facts set forth below are based upon my knowledge and

personal observations, as well as information and documents provided to me

2

in my official capacity concerning the activities of a Walter Glenn

PRIMROSE (AKA Bobby Edward FORT and Gwynn Darle MORRISON

(AKA Julie Lyn MONTAGUE). This affidavit does not contain every fact,

piece of information or evidence concerning the alleged violations.

Passports in General and Statutory Authority

4. The Passport Act of 1926, as amended, was in full force and

effect throughout the period of this investigation. This Act, codified in 22

U.S.C. § 211a, authorized the United States Secretary of State to grant and

issue United States passports under rules prescribed by the President and/or

other federal laws. Some of these rules are that a person wanting a United

States passport must complete and submit an application to the State

Department and must submit proof of American citizenship, usually a birth

certificate, and proof of identity, usually a driver’s license, with their

application. Another rule allows designated officers at United States Post

Offices and City Clerk Offices to accept passport applications, and to then

forward them to the State Department for processing. In the event of a

renewal of a U.S. passport, a DS-82, U.S. Passport Renewal Application for

Eligible Individuals is completed and mailed in with the expired passport as

proof of identity and citizenship.

5. To obtain a U.S. passport, the applicant must be a United States

citizen and legally entitled to receive a U.S. passport. The applicant must

show proof of identity and United States citizenship at the time of the

application. All information and evidence submitted in connection with a

passport application is considered part of the application. Before submitting

the Application for a U.S. Passport, form DS-11, the applicant was required

to read the following statement:

6. “I declare under penalty of perjury all of the following: 1) I am

Hawaii Driver’s License

27. I received a copy of Bobby Edward FORT’s (PRIMROSE)

Hawaii driver’s license records from the Hawaii Department of

Transportation. Records revealed that on 04 April 2014 PRIMROSE

executed a Hawaii driver's license application renewal form in Honolulu, HI

in the Bobby Edward FORT identity. As part of his renewal application,

PRIMROSE used his fraudulently obtained U.S. passport, issued to him as

Bobby Edward FORT, as proof of his identity. I received a copy of the

biodata page associated with the U.S. passport PRIMROSE used to execute

his Hawaii driver’s license application renewal form in the Bobby Edward

FORT identity.

28. The information contained on the biodata page corresponds

with the information contained in the U.S. Department of State database

associated with the U.S. Passport PRIMROSE used to execute his Hawaii

driver’s license application. Furthermore, the person pictured on the passport

that PRIMROSE submitted with his Hawaii driver's license application

DOD Identification card issuance conspiracy

31. It was the object of the conspiracy to fraudulently obtain, use,

and possess a DOD identification card by PRIMROSE and MORRISON, to

which they both conspired and agreed with each other to provide false

statements in a matter within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of

Defense, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, and did use the means of

identification of another person in order to obtain a DOD identification

document, in violation of 18 U.S.C § 371.

Manner and Means of the Conspiracy

32. It was part of the conspiracy that PRIMROSE and MORRISON

engaged in a scheme, by which, they both unlawfully assumed the identities

of deceased United States citizens and obtain the means of identification of

another person. Specifically, PRIMROSE and MORRISON knew that the

names, dates and places of births, and social security numbers of Bobby

Edward Fort and Julie Lyn Montague did not legally belong to them, and

15

himself on the form as “Bobby E FORT,” DOB XX/XX/1967, and DOD ID

#1133731470. PRIMROSE signed the form in the presence of a DOD

verifying official. Above the signature block where PRIMROSE signed the

MORRISON used the personal identifiable information belonging to Julie

MONTAGUE. Specifically, MORRISON identified herself on the from as

‘Julie L MONTAGUE,” DOB XX/XX/1968, and DOD ID# 1133731489.

MORRISON signed the form in the presence of a DOD verifying official.

35. I believe based on the records and information provided by the

Hawaii Army National Guard office that PRIMROSE and MORRISON

agreed and conspired with each other to knowingly and willfully provide

false information and use the means of identification of another person while

executing an application for identification card/DEERS enrollment form,

and as a result, MORRISON was issued a DOD identification card bearing

the personal identifiable information of “Julie Lyn MONTAGUE,” but

depicting a picture of her own likeness.

Summary

36. Records obtained by your affiant revealed that PRIMROSE and

MORRISON have agreed to assume the identities of deceased American-

born infants and have been fully living in these fraudulently assumed

identities since 1987.

37. Based on my training, experience, and the facts listed above,

the true Bobby Edward FORT and Julie Lyn MONTAGUE died on

XX/XX/1967, and XX/XX/1968, respectively, and are not the same

individuals who executed an application for identification card/DEERS

enrollment form in the identities of FORT and MONTAGUE. Moreover,

PRIMROSE is not the rightful owner of the personal identifiable

information associated with “Bobby Edward FORT,” which PRIMROSE

has successfully used over the past 30 years to obtain government

documents that he continues to use and possess in the District of Hawaii.

Further, MORRISON is not the rightful owner of the personal identifiable

information associated with “Julie Lyn MONTAGUE,” which MORRISON

has successfully used over the past 30 years to obtain government

documents that she continues to use and possess in the District of Hawaii.

38. From my training and experience, imposters often search

cemeteries for infants with dates of death close to their own birth dates to

more easily assume their identities. PRIMROSE and MORRISON both

obtained a certificate of birth in 1987 and were issued social security

account numbers in 1987 for their respective assumed identities, and have

been perpetrating criminal fraud acts ever since, to include acts committed in

the District of Hawaii.
