About Teddy Temish

  • Theodore "Teddy" Temish (June 4, 1967 – April 7, 1995) was an American soldier accused of spying for the Soviet Union in 1990.
  • He underwent an investigation after hiking three miles from one observation tower in Alaska to another, while sick and injured, following a power failure at the post where he was stationed.
  • Documents were found among his belongings which appeared to contain correspondence between himself and a Soviet liaison.
  • However, upon further investigation, it was discovered that the communications were actually a forgery, created by Temish himself, as part of an elaborate fantasy life that he had fabricated.
  • The charges of espionage against him were eventually dropped, but he was discharged from the Army and later committed suicide.
  • He has been described as a Walter Mitty-like figure.
