The remains of Navy pilot Paul Charvet were returned to his family in Anchorage over 50 years after he disappeared during the Vietnam War. “It’s hard to even put into words the feeling ... that he’s truly here after all these years,” said his sister.

Paul Charvet planned to retire from the Navy after his last tour in Vietnam. Shute said he had served two previous tours there. “That kind of gave us all closure to a point because that was as much as we thought we’d ever get,” she said.
