Between 1991 and 1999, U.S. and Cambodian investigators conducted seven joint investigations, led by the JTF-FA. On three occasions Cambodian authorities unilaterally turned over remains believed to be those of American servicemen. In October and November 1995, U.S. and Cambodian specialists conducted an underwater recovery of the ''Knife 31'' crash site where they located numerous remains, personal effects and aircraft debris associated with the loss. {{USS|Brunswick|ATS-3|6}}, a U.S. Navy salvage vessel, enabled the specialists to conduct their excavation offshore. In addition to the support provided by the Cambodian government, the Government of Vietnam also interviewed two Vietnamese informants in [[Ho Chi Minh City]] who turned over remains that were later positively identified. As a result of these investigations the remains of [[Second lieutenant#United States|Second Lieutenant]] Richard Vandegeer, Lance Corporals Gregory S Copenhaver and Andres Garcia and Privates First Class Lynn Blessing, Walter Boyd, Antonio R Sandoval and Kelton R. Turner were identified.{{refn|<ref name=Dunham/>{{rp|316–324}}<ref>{{cite web
