After decades of investigations yielding no results, a recovery team last year recovered material evidence and human remains from a remote and overgrown crash site. DPAA analyzed the remains and identified the captain this past April. His funeral will be in November. This November at Arlington National Cemetery. And today I would like to announce for the first time that the DPAA recently identified the remains of U.S. army Captain Willibald C. (07:17–07:23)
