Marina Oswald Porter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marina Oswald Porter (born Marina Alexandrovna Medvedeva Nikolayevna Prusakova on July 17, 1941) was the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who was, according to four United States government investigations, the assassin of U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.
She lived with her mother and stepfather until 1957 when she moved to Minsk to live with her uncle, Ilya Prusakov. Her uncle worked at the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD)[citation needed]. She worked as a pharmacist in a local hospital. In February 1961 she met Oswald at the city dance hall. The couple got married on April 30, 1961 and later had daughter, June Lee, on February 15, 1962. In June 1962, Oswald was given special permission to take his wife and child to the United States.
Once in the U.S., they had a second daughter, Audrey Marina Rachel. After Oswald's murder at the hands of Jack Ruby, she married Kenneth Jess Porter in 1965. They have a grown son. She has resided in Dallas, Texas for many years.
She has appeared in numerous documentaries concerning the Kennedy assassination. At one time, she believed that her first husband had indeed been the gunman who killed Kennedy. More recently, however, she has come to believe that Oswald was not the gunman and that there had been a conspiracy to kill Kennedy[1].
