Good theory!This is my theory on the forged papers. I don't think anyone saw them, knew exactly what was on them or prove that they were forgeries UNTIL they could compare the documents (or lack of them) with recorded documents in Ohio. I believe they presented documents when they crossed into Canada. I believe a large part of the delay in crossing was Canada agents, taking the paperwork from the W4's and slipping into a back room and photo copying them! Voila....W4's were probably distracted by other things like vehicle searches and declarations etc. It would have been the first time Ohio investigators had any paperwork or docs to compare with originals or to see if they were indeed what they were proposed to be.
Count 18 - copy of an original when no such original exists
I'm paraphrasing
