Found Deceased TX - PFC Vanessa Guillen, 20, Fort Hood military base, items left behind, 22 Apr 2020 #2 *arrests*

[Seattle1]

IME- Bell County/Ft Hood is a very rough area. I experienced it from 1982-1994, and saw enough to decide I didn't want to live there with my young children. I packed up the family vehicle, the kids and left.

I'm sorry you had a negative experience so many years ago. It doesn't appear the area has approved much. So many unsolved murders and bodies surfacing nearby.

Ok, the inmate roster just updated. The name we’ve been looking for is now there. First one.

Inmate Search

Wow.... her appearance changed...

Your insight is so important and welcome here at WS - every case we always seem to discuss why and how the “dogs” can miss a body- I searched (no dogs) and it’s absolutely the most difficult thing I’ve done -

Searches are hard, indeed! IMO, you’re looking for the slightest variation changes in the baseline environment. Very tough. That’s the visual search. IMO

I can’t imagine sticking around after service time is over. Hubby and I had his ETS date burned in our brains. We knew when we were getting out of that hell hole. We couldn’t wait. None of our friends that ETSed stayed a minute longer. We were packed and ready, had all the utilities shut off, the landlord notified, the car packed. I have no concept of wanting to live there any longer.

We lived in town, a little studio with a hornets nest in the closet, then we move to what I called the “south 40” where we rented a tiny trailer. Then back to town to a 2 bedroom house. The towns people hated us but we were a necessary evil, they made money off us. They hated we were there but they needed our money. They didn't trust us as far as they could throw us and we’re always making accusations. So yeh, when it was time to leave, we were gone that day, June 1, 1971.

Trying desperately to catch up, so I’m not sure if this has been mentioned, but Nancy Grace’s podcast today was interviewing Tim Miller about this case.

It is absolutely heartbreaking, but may answer some questions about some details.

I’m on my phone and can’t seem to link it at the moment, but maybe someone else can? If it hasn’t been already. Thanks!

It is not a good look always playing catch up to pressure. Sounds like she was screwed what ever she did.

Report and have dire consequences, have family killed or self killed. Don't report and get killed to shut you up.


So Army what was she supposed do?
She wanted to be nothing else than a soldier.

Wow. Do you think we will get many details?

 

[MassGuy]

Wow. Do you think we will get many details?

Yes. All the agencies involved are going to be there, so we should learn quite a bit. At the very least we will learn the identities of the players, and the charges they are facing.

I’m obviously hoping for more than that though. If we don’t get that, I think the civilian arrest warrant for his accomplice should fill in some of the gaps.

Ugh I was afraid of that so the cement didn’t work apparently ?

That are they dismembered her considering she was in concrete.

Vanessa Guillen: Perps mix and pour wet cement on Fort Hood soldier’s body to hide her [EXCLUSIVE]

July 1, 2020

In an exclusive “Crime Stories with Nancy Grace,” Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller reveals disturbing details in connection with Fort Hood soldier, Vanessa Guillen.

According to Miller, there are several suspects in connection with the disappearance of 20-year-old Guillen. The Guillen family lawyer, Natalie Kwaham, said one of the suspects, identified as Aaron Robinson, shot himself overnight at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday after learning human remains were found. He ran out in shorts when confronted and shot himself in the head.

The remains were found in a shallow grave next to the Leon River in Texas, and Miller says it’s Guillen, although it has to be confirmed officially by a medical examiner.

The official confirmation could take a while since the remains were sealed in concrete. The suspected killers, according to Miller, poured freshly-mixed concrete directly onto Guillen’s body to make a homemade body vault. They also allegedly bought lime, shovels, and plastic bags, then covered the body with rocks.

This is what I can't wrap my head around. How was he able to go and pour concrete??? If he was already a suspect? He was the highest suspect at this point. I just don't get how they weren't surveying him 24 hrs.
I hope we get some answers tomorrow.

*** Unless... his gf went out and did this while they were with him. However, I would've been tailing her too! JMO

This was probably done on the evening she disappeared, which would have before CID became involved.

Vanessa Guillen: Perps mix and pour wet cement on Fort Hood soldier’s body to hide her [EXCLUSIVE]

July 1, 2020

Guillen, who disappeared on April 22, was called into work on her day off. Someone inside Fort Hood was later spotted by a witness carrying a black 3-foot Pelican case at the armory, where Guillen worked. Guillen was called into work on her day off and was never seen again.

“He was seen really struggling to get it into his vehicle,” Miller said.

Miller added that the suspects tried to burn Guillen and evidence at the crime scene, near Leon River, which is around 26 miles from the base. Miller saw tree limbs scorched above a firepit the suspects used to burn evidence. A half-burned Pelican case was also found at the scene.

“My theory is that she was killed inside the armory. I think she was killed earlier that morning in the armory and somebody came back about 8:30 that night and that’s when somebody spotted him with that Pelican case. She apparently could have been in that Pelican case for 10 hours, inside the armory somewhere.”

Miller added that a civilian noticed a foul odor in the area after recent rain intensified the stench of the remains, and contacted police.

“We should know by the end of the day if all body parts are there,” Miller said, adding that it’s possible only partial remains were found.

A question that remains is whether Guillen was dismembered. The remains are currently at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas.

Guillen’s mother, Gloria, previously told CrimeOnline that her daughter was being sexually harassed by a sergeant on base, who allegedly walked in on her while showering and followed her while she jogged.

So are 1 or 2 suspects in custody? Some articles say 1 and some 2.

So are 1 or 2 suspects in custody? Some articles say 1 and some 2.

According to the Army, one suspect is dead, and one suspect is in custody.

The rumor of one or more additional suspects is just that, a rumor. Time will tell.
