When Mom isn't who you think she is
Categories: Just For Moms, In The News, Weird But True
Alan and Marie Walsh have been married for 23 years. They have three children together and have lived in San Diego for the last ten years. Alan Walsh described his wife as an honorable woman who cared deeply about her family. Federal marshals, however, described her as an escaped convict and a wanted woman.It turns out that more than thirty years ago, Walsh -- whose real name is Susan LeFevre -- escaped from the Detroit House of Corrections after serving only a year of her ten to twenty year sentence for drug-related charges. "We're still just getting over this but it's been a tremendous shock to us," said her husband.
LeFevre told detectives that her family did not know of her past. "Our family is threatened to be destroyed by something that happened to her as a 19-year-old teenager 34 years ago in Michigan," said Alan Walsh. I can't condone what LeFevre did or her escape, but I have to feel for her family.

When I was living in Minnesota in 1999, Sara Jane Olson was arrested under similar circumstances. She had evaded the law, had lived under an assumed name for 20+ years, and it was unclear if her family knew. It has to be very strange for the children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Soliah
