Marina Oswald Porter

Marina Nikolayevna Oswald Porter (néePrusakova; born July 17, 1941) is a Russian and American woman who was the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Born in the Soviet Union, Marina emigrated to the United States after marrying Lee Oswald during his temporary defection to the Soviet Bloc. After the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Oswald's murder, Marina testified against Oswald for the Warren Commission and remarried, becoming a naturalized United States citizen. Although Marina initially publicly supported the Warren Commission's findings, she ultimately expressed doubts and advocated for Oswald's innocence. Notably, she expressed belief that Oswald was the unidentified "Prayer Man" filmed on the steps of the Texas School Book Depository by James Darnell and Dave Wiegman as Kennedy was assassinated.
