The agency said Paul Christopher Johnson-Reuben of Buffalo, Minnesota, and Joshua Mark Munns of Redding, California, both of whom were employed by Crescent Security Group when kidnapped on Nov. 16, 2006, have been identified. The FBI said the remains of a third victim also have been recovered but it was still testing to confirm his identity.

They were identified as Ronald Withrow of Roaring Springs, Texas, who worked for JPI Worldwide when kidnapped on Jan. 5, 2007, and John Roy Young of Kansas City, Missouri, who also worked for Crescent Security when kidnapped on Nov. 16, 2006. "The investigation is ongoing and the FBI ... will continue to aggressively investigate every available lead in order to identify, apprehend and bring to justice those responsible for these horrific criminal acts," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said in a statement.
