Pvt Barnes buried with honors after nine year delay
The Amherst family laid Pvt Kenneth Barnes to rest at Ridge Hill Memorial Park nine years after his death. A seven rifle salute and taps marked the burial as investigators linked his death to an insurance fraud that swapped his body for that of John Henry Owens. Owens received a 30 year term for voluntary manslaughter, his wife ten years for theft by deception, and an Army recruiter accomplice faces murder charges next week.
