When NPRC attempted to reach [Name deleted] at 693-0692, which is a Pentagon number, it was ascertained that no one there knew [Name deleted]. NPRC also checked with the information officer, USMC, Pentagon, and there was no listing for [Name deleted] in USMC records.
WFO should attempt to locate [Name deleted] at the above address for additional information in this matter, and also attempt to locate [Name deleted] through contact at the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities, in an effort to determine whether he in fact is able to identify victims.
