Thirty-year-old Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Luther Rose of Howe
was buried in a Sherman cemetery last week after his remains were found in Laos and identified.

But KXII TV in Sherman-Denison reports not all of his family learned about the burial.

Now, the station reports Rose's widow is threatening to have the
body exhumed and moved closer to her Louisiana home.

Beverly Rose says she and her daughter didn't learn about the Sherman ceremony until they read of it in a Louisiana newspaper.

The soldier had been listed as missing in action since June
23, 1966, when a plane carrying the gunner was shot down in Laos.

A crash site was located in 1994, but it took much longer to
recover any remains and identify them using DNA and other
records.
