Mulleavey was apparently taken from his defensive position. A few days after the attack, soldiers in his unit returned to the position only to find his cigarettes and lighter in one area, and his helmet and knife about a mile or so from his other items. Mulleavey was never seen again. More than 30 years later, his nephew honored the prisoner of war who was pronounced killed in action in 1980. Several years ago, a Vietcong soldier told U.S. military officials that he recognized Mulleavey in a picture, Juliette Mulleavey said. The man said Mulleavey had been captured and taken to a nearby camp. There, Mulleavey heard American tanks and ran toward the sound. The Vietnamese soldiers shot him in the back, the man told officials. He led them to the spot where he believed Mulleavey had been buried. They found only a uniform button. The war had been over for more than 30 years, and farmers have plowed the fields where Mulleavey may have been. His remains could be spread over a greater distance, military officials told Juliette Mulleavey. Her blood sample is on file in case his remains are found. Mulleavey's grave is empty, but Juliette Mulleavey, 87, feels some finality to her son's death now that his name is on a headstone at Riverside Cemetery in Lincoln.</blockquote>
