Bobby Garwood - The D.I.A

The D.I.A

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which called Garwood a "stay-behind," reported it could not locate any masonry structures where Garwood claims he saw live American POWs after 1973 at a motel-shaped masonry building in North Vietnam. Senator Bob Smith requested the DIA search again. When a second search produced no results, Smith, ABC News, Garwood, and Bill Hendon traveled to Vietnam. Following Garwood's directions, they reported that they found a building just as Garwood had described. The Vietnamese government and a former head of the DIA POW/MIA office angrily disputed the finding, insisting the structure had not existed when Garwood was a POW.
