DNA test final step of Jerry Daniels saga

He's the former CIA and state department operative from Montana who allegedly died in his Bangkok apartment in 1982 and was returned to Missoula in a sealed casket. His brother, Dan Daniels of Florence, said a saliva sample he provided has been forwarded Monday to a forensics laboratory in Virginia for DNA testing to see if it matches tissue taken from the remains. He hopes the results provide proof whether the remains in Jerry Daniels’ grave in the Missoula City Cemetery are indeed his brother’s. The DNA should be the final scientific confirmation, said Dr. Rob Kurtzman of Billings, the medical examiner who oversaw the disinterment.

..Dan and his brother’s biographer, Gayle Morrison, will be at the gravesite of Jerry Daniels to tell his intriguing story. They’ll be joined by two men who were close friends and associates of Daniels in Montana and southeast Asia. Toby Scott of Helmville, like Daniels, was a Missoula smokejumper who was recruited into the CIA during the Vietnam War. Chou Moua of Frenchtown was a representative of the Hmong at the 2017 exhumation. He worked alongside Jerry Daniels in Laos as a captain in Gen. Vang Pao's Special Guerrilla Unit army before becoming chief of the Forward Air Guides at Long Cheng. With Daniels’ aid, the families of Chou Moua and Vang Pao were among the many relocated to Montana after Laos fell to the Communists in 1975.

Hundreds gathered at the Missoula Cemetery in May 1982 for the final rites of a traditional Hmong funeral ceremony for Jerry Daniels. The wreath arrangement on the coffin, provided by a family friend from Ovando, remained intact when Daniels' remains were temporarily disinterred in October 2017. (Courtesy of Daniels family)

Since the annual cook-off events are coming up next month, catch BBQ King Tom Moua in Sparks at the Nugget and support him like the Hmong folks in the photos I took below. The food is A+  :

He may also be at the Fresno and Sacramento Hmong New Years this year if there are clearance. Here are some photos I took at the Fresno Hmong New Year:

I was in Missoula a few weeks ago on my way to Glacier.  I heard there's a hmong population but once I got in town, the city is small and I could not find an Asian grocery store anywhere let alone this BBQ place.  I'm sure the locals can help an out of towner navigate the city but no Asian person in sight and I left real quick.

You were close but Missoula is still about 16 miles from Frenchtown.

Please share your Glacier photos if possible..
