America has tens of thousands of servicemembers still missing from past wars. From World War II crash sites to Korean War battlefields, Vietnam-era mysteries, and modern War on Terror cases, the effort to bring them home continues decades after the fighting ends.
This episode looks at the agencies, scientists, historians, divers, archaeologists, and volunteers involved in locating, recovering, and identifying America’s missing in action. We examine famous cases like Lady Be Good and the Tulsamerican, the role of DPAA, DNA identification, nonprofit partners, and the long process of giving families answers.
How far should a nation go to recover its missing? Is the mission worth the time, money, and manpower? Watch the full breakdown and decide for yourself.
