After newer forensic tests fail, old photo helps identify remains of U.S. soldier who died in Korean War – This is a soldier I researched back in 2012. I’m delighted that he’s been identified, but will admit to some wariness about the method that was used – particularly due to this sentence in the article:
“Attempts to find a familial DNA match failed.”
This case was tough because the soldier was both an immigrant and foster child, but I did indeed find relatives from his birth family who could provide DNA reference samples, so I think there’s probably more to the story than is shared here.
Regardless, welcome home Sgt. Roger Laurent Raoul Duquesne. Honored to have researched your family. #hero #KoreanWar
