(Washington, D.C.) – The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has announced an Iowa World War II fighter pilot’s remains have been accounted for. U.S. Army Air Forces Major Theodore Willhite, 26, of Muscatine, who died during WWII, was accounted for Sept. 19, 2023.
In March of 1944, Willhite was assigned to the 724th Bombardment Squadron, 451st Bombardment Group, 15th Air Force in the Mediterranean and European Theater of Operations. On Mar 11, Willhite was piloting a B-24 “Liberator,” when it was struck by anti-aircraft fire after a bombing raid on a German position near Toulon, France. Eyewitnesses on another B-24 reported seeing Willhite’s aircraft spinning out of control at approximately 3000 feet before breaking apart and crashing into the sea. All 11 crewmembers aboard the aircraft were lost in the incident and not identified following the war.
Beginning in 1945, the American Graves Registration Command (AGRC), Army Quartermaster Corps, was the organization tasked with recovering missing American personnel in the European Theater. Following the war, the AGRC disinterred and identified seven sets of remains recovered from the Lagoubran Cemetery, at Toulon, France. At the time they were unable to identify Willhite and other crewmembers, and they were interred in the Rhône American Cemetery.
In 2019, DPAA investigators and American Battle Monuments Commission personnel exhumed the remains of X-84 Luynes, X-85 Luynes, X-86 Luynes, and X-92 Luynes and sent them to the DPAA laboratory for analysis and identification. To identify Willhite’s remains, scientists from DPAA used anthropological analysis. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis.
Willhite’s name is memorialized on the Walls of the Missing at Rhône American Cemetery, an American Battle Monuments Commission site in Draguignan, France, along with others still missing from WWII. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for. Willhite will be buried at a place and time to be determined by the family.

(Menlo, Iowa) – Adair/Guthrie County Emergency Management Coordinator Rob Kempf says the 2024 Storm Spotter Class for Adair & Guthrie Counties has been scheduled for March 20, 2024. The class will be held at the Menlo Community Building from 7:00 pm to approximately 9:00 pm. The training will be presented by the Des Moines Office of the National Weather Service and is FREE and open to the public. This training is required every 2 years if you are a registered spotter.
The National Weather Service puts out a call for storm spotters each Spring. Spotter training classes are held through the state. They help those interested in learning about the typical, different modes of weather and what to look for when severe weather is possible. The classes teach your the difference between a shelf cloud and a wall cloud, and what differentiates a scud cloud from a funnel cloud.
Each class is about two hours long and covers all severe weather hazards including thunderstorms and tornadoes. You’ll have a better understanding of the structure and movement of severe thunderstorms, including identifying storm features and the difference between each. You will also learn important severe weather safety tips. Most classes do not require pre-registration.
(Radio Iowa) – An Iowa City protester facing charges for a demonstration that blocked traffic in October has rejected a plea deal and is going to trial. Tara McGovern of Coralville was one of seven people arrested under the state’s new penalties for protest-related crimes after a protest of a lecture by a California activist who opposes gender transition surgery for minors. “I don’t believe that anybody at that protest did anything wrong. And I don’t want to plead guilty to something that isn’t wrong,” McGovern says.
The Johnson County Attorney’s Office offered plea deals to drop the serious misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges while preserving a simple misdemeanor charge for interfering with police. McGovern says the actions were within the scope of lawful assembly. “Too quickly these things get swept away and not examined. And then people with less power end up being hurt by these systems,” McGovern says. McGovern’s trial is scheduled for late February.
