I guess I&#8217;d never commented on it waiting for the investigation to conclude. That was mighty generous of me, given my reputation. but, it looks like the Air Force has concluded that she was kidnapped, too according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/2012\/03\/air-force-confirms-metzger-kidnapped-2006-031912\/\">Air Force Times<\/a> in a link sent to us by our buddy Jeff Schogol;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Air Force Office of Special Investigations and several outside agencies then conducted a comprehensive and detailed examination of all the facts in this case and continued the investigation as long as was necessary in order to get to the truth,\u201d Air Force spokeswoman Maj. Tracy A. Bunko said.<\/p>\n<p>After talking to hundreds of people, canvassing areas of Kyrgyzstan and conducting a forensic analysis of the evidence, investigators determined that all of the evidence supported Metzger\u2019s account of what had happened, Bunko said in an email.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The story goes that Metzger stabbed one of her captors with a homemade knife and made good her escape. I guess that&#8217;s one POW we won&#8217;t have to investigate. She sounds pretty bad-ass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may remember the story of Jill Metzger, the Air Force Major who claims she was &hellip; <a title=\"Metzger exonerated\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=29194\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Metzger exonerated<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29194\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
