The remains of a WW II airman have finally been accounted for.
Harold Kretzer, a 32-year-old Odin man in downstate Marion County, was a U.S. Army Air Forces tech.
In the summer of 1943, he was on board a bomber that was hit by enemy fire and crashed in Romania. He was buried there as an unknown hero, but new technology has allowed his remains to be identified.
He will be reburied in Springfield, Illinois.
