    Which US Marine's body was exhumed to make sure he wasn't a Soviet spy named Alek?

    Question #112109. Asked by serpa. (Jan 14 10 1:24 PM)

    Lee Harvey Oswald

    From http://www.encyclomedia.com/lee_harvey_oswald.html:

    After Jack Ruby assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald, he was buried in Rose Hill Memorial Park in Forth Worth, Texas. In October 1981, there was an exhumation of Lee Harvey Oswald. Autopsy reports were done to prove a theory of British writer Michael Eddowes. In the Lee Harvey autopsy he wanted to prove that the real Oswald was switched with a Soviet army member, Alek Hidell during his stay in Russia. If this was true, Oswald never really killed JFK, but an imposter did. The Lee Harvey Oswald autopsy proved, by dental records, that it was really Oswald, and his body was reburied.

    One theory was that Oswald was really a Soviet KGB spy by the name of Alek. The real Oswald was still in Russia. The theory claimed that the KGB was responsible for killing Kennedy. Oswald's—or Alek's—body was exhumed years after his death and dental records showed that the body truly was Lee Harvey Oswald.
