The Oregon man who assumed the identity of a murdered Cincinnati, Ohio boy says he wants to get married in jail.
Doitchin Krastev is being held in Oregon on a federal charge of falsifying a passport application while Ohio prosecutors have accused him of identity theft.
Krastev is a Bulgarian who took on the identity of Jason Evers, a Cincinnati boy who was kidnapped and murdered in 1982.
Krastev was a boy in Bulgaria at the time and has no link to the death other than claiming to be Jason Evers after he dropped out of college following a move to Washington, D.C., as a teenager.
His lawyer has asked a federal judge for permission for him to get married to his girlfriend, who has not been identified.
But there is a catch -- to get a marriage license Krastev will have to show his ID, and prosecutors say it was all obtained illegally.
