Missing in action for 80 years after serving in Sicily during World War II, U.S. Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Allan W. Knepper, a Lewiston native, is now accounted for. A native of Lewiston, Idaho, Knepper was a pilot with the 49th Fighter Squadron and served in the Mediterranean theater of the conflict. His assignment was to attack Axis forces near Caltagirone in Sicily, where his plane was spotted crashing. Still, no one spotted the release of a parachute, according to a news release from the Department of Defense's POW/MIA Accounting Agency. Between 2015 and 2023, Defense Department researchers were able to locate Knepper's potential crash site and to recover human remains. Through DNA analysis, researchers positively identified and confirmed that the remains were those of Knepper. A rosette will be added to Knepper's name on the tablets of the missing at the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery in Nettuno, Italy, to indicate he is now accounted for. A funeral will be held to honor him in Lewiston on Aug. 2, 2024. (VICTOR CORRAL MARTINEZ)
