Jody Fochs, next of kin to U.S. Army Pvt. Elmer Blonien, speaks during the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Family Member Update in San Diego, Ca., March 28, 2026. The event gives families the opportunity to hear from DPAA leadership and subject matter experts through detailed briefings on recovery missions, laboratory identification processes, and the latest case developments. It also allows families to engage directly with DPAA personnel, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the ongoing efforts to account for their loved ones. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
