Captain Scott Speicher's Body Found?

Via John Little this First Coast News story. Speicher was downed in the First Gulf War and was rumored to be alive and in Iraqi custody. When we liberated Iraq, an intensive manhunt was said to be pursued by the military in hopes of finding him alive.

First Coast News has learned a body has been found in Iraq and DNA testing is underway. Multiple sources tell First Coast News Captain Scott Speicher's family has been notified. They will not disclose the details of why they believe these are his remains only to say they have reason to feel confident these are his remains. Test results are expected within weeks.
