JACK VANWEY wrote on October 27, 2000 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: - Comments: On July 7 of this year, I was watching a CBS news report on the noon news. The reporter was interviewing a Mike Dowe and they were talking about the end of the Korean War. Mr. Dowe was saying that he was one of the last of the POWS released from a North Korean prison camp. He went on to say that 20 prisoners were left behind and never heard from again, as far as he knew. I thought that I also heard Mr. Dowe say that they may have been sent to Siberia. At the end of the report they showed the names of the twenty men and William Vanwey was the name at the end of the list. They said to turn into the news later in the day to hear more about the story. However, I did not see a followup story later that day. I requested a transcript of the show from CBS. However, the transcript did not have the word Siberia mentioned and it did not have the list of names-which had been shown visually, but not read aloud. The transcript was just of what had been said, although, I still think they mentioned Siberia. I have recently found out how to reach Mike Dowe and I sent him an e-mail asking if he had any information. I want to know where the list of names came from-who might have that list-and if it is posssible that prisoners might have been sent to Russia(Siberia). If Willie were one of the twenty men, then it would mean that he had been captured and was a POW. I found a little information on the internet which I will forward to you. In one place, it says that Willie was lost on October 7,1952, and in two places it give the actual date of presumed dead as 12-31-53. I think that this last date was used for many who were presumed dead at the end of the war. There is also information that Willie had been tagged for DNA comparison. I am sure that Willie did not survive the war, but I would like to know as a friend if he had been held as a POW for a long length of time and whether or not he was held after the war. I found some evidence through the internet that pilots were captured and sent to Russia where they were asked to talk about our planes and flying techniques. The government won't say much about the possibility of American airmen having been captured and sent to Russia. Keywords:
