The remains of U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. James Kenneth Caniford, who was last seen March 29, 1972, in Laos, have been identified, according to his father, James Caniford.
Caniford received a call this morning from the Air Force delivering unofficial confirmation that the remains of his son, known as Jimmy, have been found.

Jimmy, formerly of Middletown, was the only Vietnam War service member from Frederick County to be classified as Missing in Action or a Prisoner of War.

“I had been looking for this,” Caniford said this afternoon. For the full story, check Thursday’s edition of The Frederick News-Post.
