The U.S. Embassy in Greece says DNA tests have identified the remains of three American divers missing since 1978 while exploring underwater caves.
Two of the divers will be buried in Minnesota, where their parents are from.
The remains of U.S. Air Force Sergeant Donald Michaud ? along with 20-year-old Airman Jan Granroth and her 21-year-old brother Mark Granroth ? were identified after extensive DNA analysis by the Department of Defense Armed Forces Medical Examiner.
Funerals for the Granroths are scheduled for August fourth in Sebeka, about 45 miles northwest of Brainerd.
Jan and Mark Granroth grew up in Sacramento. According to a cousin who lives in Sebeka, the siblings' parents were both from Minnesota originally, and their mother moved back to the state after her husband died about ten years ago.
Michaud and Jan Granroth were stationed at a U.S. military base near Athens. The trio were exploring undersea caves near Athens in September of 1978. Their remains were recovered last year by Greek volunteer divers.
Michaud is to be buried today in Maine.
