Through initial verification, the task force has identified the burial location of the fallen soldier. However, according to the information gathered, the previous landowner had exhumed the remains many years ago. To date, it has not been determined which martyrs' cemetery the remains were moved to because the previous landowner has not yet been contacted for specific verification.
