MIA Scott Speicher's Initials Found
Thursday, April 24, 2003   By: Juan Paxety

Still searching for the American held captive for 12 years

I've written about MIA Capt. Scott Speicher here and here. He disappeared after being shot down during the Gulf War in 1991. It now appears there is some good news. There are reports today that -

Investigators have found the initials of Michael Scott Speicher -- "MSS" -- etched into a prison wall in downtown Baghdad.

The initials were scrawled into a cell wall in the Hakmiyah prison, although it's not known who wrote them, or whether they had anything to do with the missing pilot, U.S. officials cautioned.

But an informant said an American pilot was held at that prison in the mid-1990s, the officials said.

Joint CIA/Pentagon teams are searching for Speicher.
