Huhman, of the 436thCommunications Squadron, did not report to duty on Monday, February 8. At that time, DAFB authorities initiated a missing person investigation. His truck was later found to have been found, and towed from the shoulder of the William V. Roth, Jr. Bridge, which spans the C&D Canal.
The search for Huhman was called off, and he was declared dead in early March. A memorial service was held at the Dover Air Force Base, on March 12.
Huhman’s father, Kenneth, released this statement on the Bring Keifer Home Facebook page, on Friday. “Keifer Huhman has been found. We will be bringing him to Pensacola for his final resting place at Barrancas National Cemetery. Thank you everyone for your support. I will be offline for a little while.
