Consul Prentis' body likely was never recovered, I suspect the report that is was recovered was made up. See my article in the Foreign Service Journal.

This was by far my favorite episode of Consolation Prize. The production work was really great and even chilling. I wish more history podcasts had these kinds of production values.
