A Bakersfield soldier who went missing during the Korean War 62 years ago is finally home. A flag-draped coffin containing the remains of Army Pfc. Roosevelt Clark arrived this morning at LAX from Hawaii. Clark's remains will be buried during a ceremony Friday at Hillcrest Memorial Park. Clark was just 18 when he was reported missing in action in 1950. His remains were among those recovered from North Korea in the 1990s and were recently identified through DNA and other tests.
