Remains ID'd as reservist's

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- An Army reservist who had been missing in Iraq since a convoy attack April 9 has been confirmed dead, the military said Saturday. Another soldier and a contract worker abducted in the same attack remain unaccounted for.
The remains of Sgt. Elmer Krause were found Friday, according to a statement from the Department of Defense.
Thomas Hamill, a Halliburton employee from Macon, Miss., was seen on video after the attack, but there has been no word from him since. Pfc. Keith M. Maupin of Batavia, Ohio, seen on separate video footage, also has not been found.
Krause, 40, was assigned to the Army Reserve's 724th Transportation Company, Bartonville, Ill.
A California native, he previously served in the U.S. Navy and relocated to Greensboro four or five years ago, friends have said. In Greensboro, he worked as a painter at Timco Aviation Services. He was divorced with a 9-year-old son.
J.C. Winkler, the husband of Krause's former wife, said the family was told Friday evening that Krause's remains had been identified.
"We appreciate the thoughts and prayers of all who have supported us," he said in a prepared statement. "We ask that you honor his memory by respecting our privacy as we grieve his passing."
