I really hope they can bring him home. It's long overdue.

Report says Scott Speicher's body may have been found in Iraq
The Virginian-Pilot
© November 5, 2004 | Last updated 3:58 PM Nov. 5
A Jacksonville, Fla., television station is reporting that a body has been found in Iraq and DNA testing is under way to determine whether it may be Capt. Michael Scott Speicher, a Navy pilot who disappared in the opening hours of the first Gulf War.
WTLV, Channel 12, and WJXX, Channel 25, in Jacksonville reported on their newscasts and on their Web site, First Coast News, that Speicher's family members have been notified and that they have reason to believe that the remains are Speicher's.
Then-Lt. Cmdr. Michael Scott Speicher's F/A-18 Hornet was shot down in western Iraq on Jan. 17, 1991. Speicher, 33, originally was listed as killed in action, but the Defense Department changed his status to "missing-captured" in January 2001, as circumstantial evidence and intelligence reports suggested he ejected from his crippled plane and survived his landing in the Iraqi desert.
Saddam Hussein's government said Speicher was killed at the time of the crash and turned over some remains in 1991, but DNA testing later proved they weren't his.
The Speicher case has attracted nationwide attention, as a corps of the aviator's friends and family pressed first the Clinton administration and later the Bush White House to do more to find and bring home either Speicher or his remains.

My worst nightmare! I know this must be killing his wife to have to relive it all over again. She is in my prayers tonight.....

Sorry Fred, didn't realize that you started this thread when I started teh other one.
I saw the report on the Jax TV station here the other night- they said the family had already been told (like days or a weeks ago) before the report was made public. I do hope they find some answers

I wonder about that seeing that she remarried less than a year (or right around a year) after he was shot down. At least that's what I recall from the book. I obviously could be very wrong and this news is killing for obvious reasons.

His wife did remarry shortly after to one of HIS BEST FRIENDS! Not trying to start "rumor" but we lived in Jacksonville prior to joining the Navy and his exwife and new husband were on a talk show. They talked about it all when they thought he was still alive. He left small children behind who don't even know him as daddy and know their new dad as their dad. I just pray the guy didn't suffer and hasn't been in captivity all these years. There are many things much worse than death in this world. And to return home to a life that is not there any more would be extremely hard.... I will be curious to see if they identify it as him. I always saw signs in Jax remembering him and all and it always put a lump in my throat
