Every Memorial Day, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery becomes one of the most visited military memorials in the country. What many people don’t realize is that one of the “unknowns” buried there was eventually identified decades later through DNA testing.
In 1998, advances in mitochondrial DNA testing identified the Vietnam War Unknown as Air Force Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie, whose aircraft was shot down near An Lộc in 1972. His remains were returned to his family in Missouri, and the crypt that once held the Vietnam Unknown has remained empty ever since.
Today, the remaining unknowns still rest at Arlington as representatives of countless unidentified American service members lost in war. While military agencies continue identifying missing personnel using modern forensic technology, there are currently no public plans to exhume the others buried at the tomb.

Wednesday marked six months since former Union High School football coach Travis Turner disappeared from Appalachia, Virginia just moments before investigators arrived at his home. Turner went missing on November 20th while Virginia State Police were on their way to question him during an investigation involving alleged online communication with minors and material reportedly discovered on a computer.
According to investigators, troopers were literally on their way to Turner’s house when he ran into the woods. Authorities have never explained how Turner seemed to know they were coming.
Since then, search crews, drones, K9 teams, and federal authorities have all assisted in efforts across the rugged mountain terrain surrounding the region to avail.
People around the area have continued talking about the disappearance in the months since. In March, Stephen Murray, whose stepdaughter attends the school where Turner previously taught and coached, spoke with multiple media outlets and described the situation as feeling “like a bad mafia movie,” adding that “everyone knows that he’s alive.”

The search for Murry Foust came to an end late last night at at 1 Steel Plant Road. Authorities confirmed that they were found deceased at the former Newport Steel property in Wilder by an independently organized search party after weeks of searches across Northern Kentucky. Wilder is located near Latonia, the neighborhood where Murry lived before going missing.
Investigators said there are no indications of foul play, though the official cause and manner are still pending through the Campbell County Coroner’s Office.
Murry, who was a student at NKU and artist, was last seen on April 27th in the Latonia area of Covington. Since then, search efforts stretched across multiple areas as volunteers, rescue crews, investigators, and community members continued trying to bring answers to her family. Covington Police thanked EquuSearch Midwest, Boone County Water Rescue, Wilder Police, Northern Kentucky University, and the many people who assisted throughout the investigation.
