The incident came to light when a concerned mother reported that her son, a U.S. Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, did not board his flight to Oklahoma as scheduled. She had contacted his unit supervisor, who was in the process of locating the missing Marine.

The families of the deceased Marines were informed by U.S. Marine Corps officials, according to the official statement.
