Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies assisted agents with the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations on Tuesday in locating 75-year-old Linley Benson Lemburg, who has been absent without leave from the Air Force since 1972. Lemburg was living at 7847 SW 5th Place in Ocala with his wife under the alias of William Michael Robertson, and had a fictitious date of birth of Aug. 29, 1951.
MCSO deputies were asked by Air Force agents to assist in locating Lemburg, which culminated in the apprehension. Lemburg was then transported to the MCSO Evidence Division, where latent print examiners obtained his fingerprints and compared them against samples that the Air Force had in their possession from his enlistment. Latent print examiners confirmed Lemburg’s identity and Lemburg was then taken into the U.S. Air Forces’ custody.
Lemburg has been transported by the Air Force to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida for further investigation.
