Parents seek truth in son's death at Keesler Base
Atchison couple, Royal and Linda Shults, challenge the Air Force's conclusion that their son, Airman 1st Class Allen Wendell Shults, died by his own hand in a Biloxi dormitory. They spent 50,000 on private investigators, question the investigation, seek reopening with congressional support, and allege possible homicide tied to a love triangle and an on-base fraternity.
