An Idaho bow hunter who was looking for a shortcut instead found the remains of another hunter who had been missing for 53 years, a discovery the local sheriff called "pretty wild."
Raymond Jones was 39 years old when he was last seen on Sept. 7, 1968, while bow hunting for mountain goats in central Idaho's Lemhi County, EastIdahoNews.com reported. Searches were unsuccessful, and Jones' remains went unfound until Friday, when another bow hunter stumbled across them.
The hunter called the Lemhi County Sheriff's Office to report the discovery. He was in the same area where Jones had disappeared half a century ago.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
