The remains of a U.S. Army soldier from Missouri who disappeared in Korea in 1950 have been identified and returned to his family in Arkansas.

Cpl. Marvin Omans remains arrived by plane Friday in Little Rock where they were met by his sister.

Martin’s son Johnie Martin provided DNA that helped identify Omans.

Omans was born in Missouri. He disappeared Dec. 1, 1950, while on patrol. His remains were among 200 to 400 given to the U.S. between 1991 and 1994.

Funeral services with full military honors will be held at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery in North Little Rock.
