Persian Gulf War 1991:

Michael Scott Speicher Remains Identification
August 2nd, 2009

2 Officially Unaccounted-For,
12 Unofficially Unaccounted-For

Other personnel also remain unaccounted-for in Iraq, 9 of 14 crewmembers of the Spirit '03 loss incident. As well as the A-6 loss with Barry Cook and Robert Dwyer who was lost with his F/A 18. At the conclusion of the Persian Gulf War 1991, all were classified as KIA/BNR. Michael Scott Speicher's status was later upgraded twice... to MIA in 2001 and to Missing/Captured in 2002.

President Bush has even stated that more than just Speicher remain unaccounted-for from the first war with Iraq. His remarks last National POW-MIA Recognition Day - "Nearly 60 years after the end of World War II, the fate of more than 78,000 Americans who fought in that conflict remains unknown. 8,057 from the Korean War are missing, more than 120 from the Cold War, more than 1,900 from the Vietnam War, and three from the Gulf War. These Americans, who dedicated their lives to preserving and protecting our freedoms, will never be forgotten."

U.S. GOVERNMENT EFFORTS: Since the fall of Saigon in 1975, the U.S. Government has acquired 23437 reports possibly pertaining to Americans in Southeast Asia:

SUMMARY OF REPORTS FIRSTHAND LIVE SIGHTINGS - 1997
HEARSAY SIGHTINGS REPORTS - 5529
CRASH/GRAVE SITES - 5928
DOGTAGS - 9994
TOTAL - 23448

a. Of the 1997 firsthand reports received since 1975, 1942 (97.25%) reports are resolved.

• 1341 (67.15%) reports were equated to Americans who are accounted for (i.e., PW returnees, missionaries, civilians jailed at various times for violation of Vietnamese codes).

• 45 (2.25%) reports were correlated to wartime sightings of military personnel or pre-1975 sighting of civilians who remain unaccounted for.

• 556 (27.84%) reports were determined to be fabrications.

b. The remaining 55 (2.75%) unresolved firsthand reports represent the focus of the U.S. Government analytical and collection efforts:

• 49 (2.45%) pertain to Americans reported in a captive environment.

•6 (0.30%) reported sightings of Americans in a non-captive environment (i.e. working as truck drivers; married with Vietnamese family).

c. Since mid-1982, 9994 ?dog tag? reports have been received on over 10,000 names.

• Generally speaking 93% of those names reported are individuals who returned to the U.S. alive

• 5% correspond to U.S. remains that have been recovered/identified and buried in the U.S.

• and 2% relate to individuals who remain unaccounted for.

d. In all instances, dog tag reports receive thorough investigative attention, to include informing the military services of those reports with valid names so next of kin can be advised as appropriate.

The following timeline presents an overview of unresolved firsthand sightings by the year of the sighting:
