For nearly six decades, the fate of a Vietnam War missing pilot had become an unsolvable mystery. But thanks to modern science and hours of investigative efforts, that pilot has now finally been accounted for, and his remains have been identified after vanishing without a trace in 1967.   On August 22, 1967, 35-year-old pilot John C.G. Kerr’s aircraft simply went dark without any radio calls on a covert night time armed reconnaissance mission over the jungles of Laos. There were no distress signals or last communications, and Kerr and his plane seemed to have completely disappeared into the thick foliage.
