In the dense jungle terrain in Darlac Province, near the provincial capital of Ban Me Thuot, South Vietnam, American doctor Eleanor Ardel Vietti had found her calling to heal.
Yet that same calling led her to become America's first female prisoner of war in Vietnam. To this day, Vietti remains the only American woman POW whose fate remains unknown.
According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, 1,244 Americans are still unaccounted for in Vietnam. Fifty-nine civilian women were killed during the war.

It is so wrong that her remains have never been found but as stated she is not the only one
