Suspects in Maupin’s Death Get Death Sentence

The father of Staff Sergeant Matt Maupin says two of his suspected killers face the death penalty in Iraq.
However, Keith Maupin says that is for crimes against the Iraqi people, and not his son’s death.
Maupin was taken captive outside Baghdad four years ago.
His parents went to Washington Thursday for new information on the investigation.
According to Keith Maupin, the Pentagon says the military is looking for at least six other suspects.
Maupin says the stability provided by last year’s troop surge gave a tipster enough confidence to disclose the location of Matt’s remains.
“There’s a lot of trust that’s got to be involved, and it took them about a year to be able to build that trust to where somebody walks up and says, ‘I think they buried him over there,’” said Keith Maupin.
“And that’s where it was. He’s been gone for awhile, and I can tell you this much, we’re not going to get all of Matt. Some of Matt will be in Iraq forever.”
A visitation for Maupin will take place Saturday, April 26th at the Union Township Civic Center in Clermont County.
The funeral is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 27th at Great American Ball Park.
