Mission V update

on

Greetings everyone. I wanted to keep the discussion going with a very short update. In case you missed it – our team successfully completed Expedition V to Micronesia and this time we were joined by two K9 search experts. I am grateful to announce that we were indeed successful in identifying an area containing a high number of human remains at the very location that was once identified by historical maps and local confirmation that it was once a Japanese Navy Medial structure. To us – that’s a mission success. The next logical step is to return to the site, carefully excavate, secure and send the human remains to an accredited facility for DNA analysis and identification. This is a huge win for the families of the missing Hawaii Clipper crew and passengers, for our team and for history itself. Thank you for your steadfast interest in this entirely self funded endeavor and we are grateful to many of you who have not only helped by spreading the word – but also sending us financial assistance to make these missions actually happen. We all did this and our team thanks you! Until the next adventure stay tuned!

    Nothing like good ole fashioned K9 and digging. I hope GPR combined with LiDar with topo overlay is employed as well if possible.. maybe satellite use as well..Good luck on the continued effort!!

    1. Hi Bethdean… yes! We’d love to be able to use LiDar, satellite and 3D drone renderings. Our continued problem is the cost of using that technology. We’re not exactly sure where to go for such expertise or, more importantly, how to get the funding to do it. Everything we’ve done for over 25+ years has been out of pocket, so outside funding would be a Godsend. If you have any suggestions on how we can overcome these walls, we’re all ears! Thanks for your note!
