EVANSVILLE, Wis. – Time seems to move more slowly when waiting.
United States Airman 2
nd Class Edward J. Miller’s family has been waiting a long time.
“The family has been waiting over 60 years to recover his body,” Evansville Mayor Bill Hurtley said.
When what you’re waiting for never comes, time can nearly stand still.
“It’s just as fresh today as it was then for them, I think,” Evansville Police Chief Patrick Reese said.
In 1952, Miller died along with more than 50 others when their plane crashed in Alaska. At the time, the site of the crash was unknown and their bodies went unfound.
