Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
HONOLULU, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Forensic experts at a military base in Hawaii will examine the remains of a U.S. airman killed 60 years ago when his parachute failed to open.
Climbers found the frozen body last week protruding from a glacier on Mount Mendel in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The body was flown to Hickam Air Force Base, where the Defense Department maintains its military identification unit.
"It is a mystery that has been buried and only now that the ice and snow have melted, can we unravel that mystery," Robert Mann, deputy scientific director of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command's identification lab, told the Honolulu Advertiser.
The man was not wearing dog tags and a badge was so corroded it has been unreadable, although experts at the lab may be able to decipher it.
Lab workers hope to get an identification by comparing his teeth with the dental records of 10 military pilots who disappeared in the area.
