Episode Synopsis

This week, Scott's speaking to author Ron Martz, a former AJC staffer and US Marine. He talks about his investigation into the mystery of Lance Cpl. James "Jimmy" Jackson of Atlanta that has been ongoing for over forty years. Lance Cpl. Jackson disappeared in Vietnam in 1969. We update the story in time for the September 19 National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Jackson's mother passed away in 2008 without ever knowing what happened to her son. The subject of his upcoming book, Martz says he has a good idea on where Jackson's remains are located; his mission is to get them returned from Southeast Asia to an empty grave marked with a headstone with Jackson's name on it in the Marietta National Cemetery.
