Fox 4 has an amazingly disturbing story of an old corpse switcheroo. The family of Pvt. Henry E. Marquez was finally going to put the soldier's body to rest after 64 years. But a funny thing happened on the way to the cemetery. The body that arrived at Kansas City International Airport on Wednesday wasn't Marquez's, and no one figured out the mix-up until they got to the cemetery. Sounds like someone else was waiting for a body at the airport. The Army will try again on Thursday to find Pvt. Marquez a peaceful resting place.
