Vanessa Guillen ‘body found in cement in shallow grave’ as family wants Congress to investigate sex harassment claims
VANESSA Guillen's body is believed to have been found in cement in a shallow grave, as her family wants Congress to investigate sexual harassment claims.
The 20-year-old missing soldier's family said they believe human remains found near the Leon River close to Fort Hood military base belong to Vanessa, who has been missing since April 22.
The second suspect is "the estranged wife of a former Fort Hood Soldier," investigators said.
Authorities said they are awaiting dental x-rays and DNA analysis to identify the remains.
"We stand here for Vanessa, we stand here for justice, and we stand here for every other service member that's or assault and did not report it out of fear," Gabbard said.
Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller said in an interview on that the remains were found buried in cement, reported.
“We have made significant progress in this tragic situation and are doing everything possible to get to the truth and bring answers to the family of Pfc. Vanessa Guillen,” Chris Grey, the spokesman for Army CID said in a statement Wednesday.
Vanessa went missing at her work on April 22 at the Regimental Engineer Squadron Headquarters on Fort Hood military base.
Her keys, wallet and ID card were all found in the room where she worked, investigators said.
Authorities have offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information related to Guillen's disappearance.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Army CID Special Agents at 254-287-2722, or the Military Police Desk at 254-288-1170.
