1. Yes, one from Ohio is still listed as missing

PFC Keith Matthew Maupin

2. Covert operatives.

I'd bet that dozens more are missing we'll never hear about.

3. The Blackwater mercenaries as well

You're probably right.

4. I googled Maupin last year

and I got a long list of rightwing sites that all swore up and down that he was dead, as far as I know he's missing and his fate is unknown.

5. I believed he's officially "Missing-Captured", but I may be wrong

There were some rumors in the news that the DoD will change his status to Deceased-Body not Recovered or some such.

6. You are right. He was one of my friend's "guys" and he says they are

99% certain he is dead but are reluctant to change his status without a body.
