The suspect was identified as Cecily Aguilar, who has been charged with one count of conspiracy to tamper with evidence after Aaron Robinson killed Guillen.
According to the complaint, Specialist Aaron Robinson told Aguilar that he killed Guillen by striking her in the head with a hammer multiple times on Fort Hood on April 22. Two witnesses, interviewed May 18, said they saw Robinson pulling a large "tough box" with wheels, that appeared heavy, coming out of the arms room where Robinson worked. The two witnesses said they saw Robinson load the box into his vehicle and drive away, according to the affidavit.
Robinson enlisted the help of Aguilar in disposing of the body, which included mutilating the body and attempting to burn the body. However, when the body did not burn completely, they placed the remain in three separate holes and covered up the remains.
Upon conviction, Aguilar faces up to 20 years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine.
