University of Nebraska-Lincoln team returns after anthropologica
The professors and students who take part in the trip aren’t allowed to reveal exactly what they found, but whatever they did collect is transferred to the Defense P-O-W/M-I-A Accounting Agency lab at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, where a group of scientists there work on identifying missing service members. Belcher says these missions teach students about the importance of having a name and identity, and that there’s an unspeakable loss when that’s taken from someone missing in action.
