After messages were posted on MySpace.com, South High School, where he had been a football star, put a message on a sign outside that said: “In Loving Memory Joseph Anzack Class of 2005.” It wasn’t until the Red Cross helped his father speak with him by phone that the family could put the rumor to rest. On Wednesday, the family relived the trauma – only this time, it was real. Anzack was identified as the soldier whose body was found in the Euphrates River in Iraq after being abducted with two comrades a week and a half ago, a relative said. “They told us, ‘We’re sorry to inform you the body we found has been identified as Joe,’” said the soldier’s aunt, Debbie Anzack. “I’m in disbelief.” Military officials told Anzack’s family that a commanding officer identified the body, but that DNA tests were still pending, she said.
