The remains were examined by Vietnamese and American forensic experts in Da Nang, concluding that they may be related to cases of American soldiers missing in action during the Vietnam War and suggested being transferred to Hawaii, USA for further verification.

The humanitarian coordination activity to search for and account for US soldiers missing in action during the war in Vietnam has been conducted since the late 1980s between the Vietnamese and US governments. To date, it has helped verify 732 cases of US soldiers who died during the war. It is one of the pillars of cooperation to overcome the consequences of war between the two countries.
