This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Available reporting names multiple men called “Harry Myers” with documented military service, but none in the provided sources match the user’s specifics — a 1990s service member who went into hiding because of cartels. The sources instead document a World War II First Lieutenant Harry C. Myers with extensive service and oral-history records [1] [2], other veterans and officers named Harry L. Myers [3] [4], and unrelated public figures using the name in entertainment or criminal reporting [5] [6].
1. The closest match: World War II aviator Harry C. Myers
The most detailed record in the set is Harry C. Myers, a First Lieutenant in the Army Air Forces who flew in the European Theater and completed more than 30 bombing missions, receiving the Air Medal with oak leaf clusters; his oral history and archive materials are held by the Library of Congress and the New Jersey militia museum [1] [7] [2]. That Harry C. Myers’ biography and interviews focus on mid‑20th century conflicts and postwar civilian life, not 1990s military service or cartel-related hiding [1] [2].
2. Other military figures named Harry Myers or Myers variants
The search results list other military-associated entries: a U.S. Navy Captain Harry L. Myers photographed greeting President George W. Bush (a public-domain image in archival files) and a memorial page for Harry L. Myers Jr. [3] [4]. These sources confirm persons with similar names served in U.S. forces, but they do not provide evidence linking any of them to 1990s service followed by going into hiding because of cartels [3] [4].
3. Entertainment and other public figures who share the name
Several entries refer to actors, voice artists, or historical film actors named Harry Myers (including an actor born 1882 and contemporary voice/acting professionals), and a commercial website for a voice actor named Harry Myers [8] [5] [9]. These appear in the results because names coincide; none of these entertainment entries document military service in the 1990s or cartel-related disappearance [5] [9].
4. Cartel‑linked individuals in the search results are different people
Some results concern Michael “Harry‑O” Harris, a 20th‑century drug kingpin tied to the Cali cartel and Death Row Records financing; he is not the same person as the military veterans named Harry Myers [6] [10]. The sources connect Harris to cartel operations in the 1980s–1990s, but they do not identify a Harry Myers who left the military in the 1990s to hide from cartels [6] [10].
5. What the available sources do not say
Available sources do not mention any Harry Myers who served in the military in the 1990s and subsequently went into hiding because of cartel threats. There is no citation in the provided material that confirms a 1990s servicemember named Harry Myers who concealed himself from drug cartels (not found in current reporting).
6. How to proceed to verify the user’s claim
To confirm the specific scenario you describe—1990s military service and going into hiding because of cartels—look for primary-source records not in this packet: veteran oral histories dated to post‑1990s, Department of Defense or service-branch personnel records for the 1990s, contemporary news reports of threats or disappearances tied to cartels, or legal filings. The provided corpus contains WWII-era and other historical records [1] [7] and separate cartel reporting about different individuals [6], but it lacks the targeted documentation you asked about.
7. Competing explanations and a caution about name collisions
The simplest explanation given the evidence is a name collision: “Harry Myers” is shared by multiple, unrelated men—WWII veterans, naval officers, entertainers—and media records can conflate them. Sources I can cite show several distinct Harry Myers identities [1] [3] [5]. Do not assume a single biography without corroborating documents tying the 1990s service and cartel‑hiding claim to a named record.
Limitations: this analysis uses only the provided search results and cites them directly; if you have a middle name, rank, service branch, unit, state of residence, or a news link about the 1990s incident, share it and I will re-check the available reporting for a match.
