A Fort Worth Texas family finally received long-awaited answers after the loss of a loved one in Vietnam 50 years ago.
Air Force Captain Robert Russell Barnett was shot down over Laos in 1966. His body was never recovered until now.
Debra Coffey from Fort Worth was 9 years old when her dad died. She grew up knowing he was killed in action, but not much else.
On Friday, the Air Force met with Coffey's family in San Antonio and detailed how it recovered and identified her dad's remains so that they could finally give him a full burial.
