Montclair’s Spies Leave Behind a Life Interrupted

It’s been more than four months since Montclair’s Vladimir and Lydia Guryev (aka Cynthia and Richard Murphy) were outed as Russian spies, and life has returned to normal on Marquette Road. But the intrigue lingers and the house still sits empty.

According to NJ.com, a few days before Halloween, neighbors noticed a small moving van in front of the Murphy house, and watched as boxes containing the family’s personal items were removed, including a copy of Friedrich Nietzsche’s poetry book, “The Gay Science.”

Inside the house, writes NJ.com’s reporter Phil Read, were other pieces of the Murphy’s interrupted life — some mundane and some hinting of possible espionage and foreign interest. Remaining items range from Bavarian wheat beer to a book on marksmanship.

    well, I guess this is why we make lousy spies.

    Anyway, he’s Rotimi Adebari, the mayor of Portlaoise.

I would love to see Santorum get the nod. Maybe then the politically comatose members of society will wake up.
