Soldier found 44 years after war
A soldier in the United States Army has been found living in a remote Vietnamese village 44 years after his plane was shot down.
The soldier was found when a Canadian filmmaker, Michael Jorgenson, found him while filing in the area.
Jorgenson claims that a frail, elderly man, found in a remote south Vietnam village unable to remember the English language may be Sergeant John Hartley Robertson – a former Green Beret shot down in 1968.
Robertson was working on a special operation over Laos when his helicopter was downed.
Despite his body never being found, he was presumed dead for nearly half a century.
After Robertson was shot down he was apparently suffering a number of health problems. A local nurse took care of him and the pair eventually married.
Robertson has no plans to return back the the United States but is looking to return to family.
