A three-part series that follows the JPAC team as they try to identity deceased US soldiers from around the world using forensic techniques and trawling through archived records in order to give families and descendants answers about lost loved ones.
70,000 servicemen are missing from the Second World War alone, but unlike other countries, the United States has never stopped looking for their war dead. Any find of a potential American missing-in-action body brings the unique JPAC (Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command) team into action.
