Where Is PFC Maupin?

[atreides1]

Does anyone remember this soldier who was captured? Has there been an update on his whereabouts? Is he dead or alive? Does anyone care?

1. Last I saw

there was a video of someone getting shot in the back of the head that was reported to have been him. Then nothing, gotta love that media.

2. I also look for news items about him or i ask here

the media quickly forgot about him, you know swiftboats to cover and all, gotta keep those priorities straight.

Here is the last press release from the pentagonhttp://www.defenselink.mil/releases/2004/nr20040423-0645.html

3. The last...

The last I heard, there was video of a man in a USA soldier's uniform being shot and dumped into a grave. However, the identity of the person being killed could not be determined from the video. Since the first video made with Maupin and his captors right after his capture, there have been no definitive answers as to his state of being.

According to that site, the video of his supposed execution is inconclusive. Please let him be alive :(
