Acclaimed author fights charges in Canada

PORTLAND, Oregon – An award-winning Canadian author accused of kidnapping her son and faking their deaths so they could flee the country will not face charges in the United States until after her charges in Canada are resolved, if at all.

U.S. officials have put on hold their case against Dawn Marie Walker, also known as author Dawn Dumont, on charges of aggravated identity theft and possession of false identification documents, which they say she used to enter the U.S. under an assumed name on July 23. Walker is a citizen of the Okanese First Nation.

Prosecutors canceled an arraignment hearing set for federal court in Portland on Wednesday, Sept. 7, after discussing how to proceed with their Canadian counterparts.
