Everyone might like to look back when this was discussed in 2014.

Remember in the 1990's her convents death records were on line but when people saw that she had died in 1949, it was quickly removed.  Look at Reference #265

Hmmmm.  Was the Father Fuentes interview also conducted with the imposter?

.
Fr. Fuentes was the postulator for the cause of Jacinta and Francisco, as well as the author of the mutli-volume compendium of the Fatima story with numerous interviews and eyewitness testimonies. I highly doubt he could have been fooled by any imposter.
.
But his work was done in the mid to late 1950's, as I recall.

Okay, I just read that whole thread. The link for the TIA screenshot of the list of nun deaths is only provided near the end of the thread, and no one goes into detail on the data contained in the list. It's just a link, and the image of the list itself is not provided on the thread.
.
It appears to me there may very well be some important clues in the dates provided for the other sisters.

We should look at Reference #265, for sure, but we should also look at the others, perhaps ALL the others!

There are several death dates that appear out of order, like the one for Sr. Lucy's out of order. 
.
I have a hunch that Sister Lucia is not the only one whose record was falsified, or perhaps she is not the only sister in that cloister whose identity was faked. They might have done this in several cases just to get practice at the deception, or maybe the Vatican or some cardinal or whatever had confidence that it could be kept under wraps with Sr. Lucia because they had already done this with other nuns previously.
.
Regarding the question of "Why bother?" -- Keep in mind they managed to keep the Lucia #2 alive until 2005, and they released the quasi-Third Secret in 2000 just after the death of Malachi Martin (+1998 ), who, if he had been alive in 2000 he could have gone public with denouncing it as a fake because he had read the real Third Secret (but he was sworn to secrecy). He explained that he could not reveal its contents but whenever someone gave him a proposed text he was quite willing to say whether it was accurate or not.
.
The fake Sr. Lucy had never seen the real Third Secret so she would have no idea whether the 2000 version was real or not.
.
So the point is, they could have kept the fake Sr. Lucy alive so she would not rat them out with the 2000 deception -- simple.
