ABC13 - (with video) Suspect in Vanessa Guillen murder asks judge to dismiss indictment

KCEN6 - Defense moves to dismiss all charges in Vanessa Guillen case | kcentv.com

The indictment charges Aguilar with one count of conspiracy to destroy records, documents, or other objects and two counts of destroying records, documents, or other objects.

"The Indictment in this case is shockingly bereft of factual detail from which Ms. Aguilar might be apprised of the charges against her," the motion reads. "Each Count is largely a recitation of the statutory language of the offense it charges, with limited or no application to Ms. Aguilar." .....Gainor argues that while the complaint alleges Aguilar helped Robinson dispose and conceal Guillen's body, the indictment is not sufficient because her body is not an object.....“An indictment is multiplicitous if it charges a single offense in multiple counts, thus raising the potential for multiple punishment for the same offense, implicating the Fifth Amendment double jeopardy clause,” the motion argues. The motion will be heard in Judge Alan Albright's court. A date was not set for the hearing.

Meanwhile, a motion filed March 23 to suppress Aguilar's confession was scheduled to be heard on May 25. @Niner A trial date has not been set.


KHOU11 - Army releasing details in Vanessa Guillen death investigation | khou.com

Friday's press conference is set for 1:30 p.m.

Legislation was introduced in Congress Thursday to change the way the military handles sexual assault investigations. It’s similar to the I Am Vanessa Guillen bill and could be the biggest bipartisan effort we’ve seen.

Washington Post (Lengthy Good Article MOO) - https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2021/04/30/vanessa-guillen-aaron-robinson/

A report will detail a chain of missteps that allowed the suspected killer of a fellow soldier to flee an unarmed guard before fatally shooting himself last year, in a case that rocked Fort Hood in Texas and sparked calls for systemic changes in how the Army cares for soldiers.

Four pages of the report, obtained by The Washington Post ahead of its Friday public release, offer a previously unreported glimpse into how Spc. Aaron Robinson slipped away on June 30, despite leaders putting him under observation more than two months after the disappearance of Spc. Vanessa Guillén.

The documents obtained by The Post do not say where Robinson got the gun he used to shoot himself or if the Army found negligence among commanders who failed to keep Robinson under guard. The larger report, led by Gen. John Murray, the commander of Army Futures Command, will focus on actions taken by Guillén’s chain of command amid her disappearance and murder.

Authorities were monitoring calls and texts between Robinson and Aguilar while he was under watch. Simultaneously, police were building probable cause and coordinating with prosecutors on how they would arrest him, Army officials said. Robinson’s leaders developed a ruse. He was already under quarantine because a colleague was infected with the coronavirus, so they told him he was to be guarded because he violated quarantine protocols.

He was restricted to a conference room with one entry point, and he would sleep there, the report said, under the watch of a noncommissioned officer on rotating shifts and another supervisor who regularly looked into the room. The guard was unarmed and Robinson kept his cellphone, which he used all night, the report said.
A senior enlisted leader left after an hour and did not brief an incoming guard about the situation, leaving that duty to a junior leader, the report said. Commanders appeared concerned Robinson would learn he was a murder suspect and try to flee. One officer said in a text chain for unit leaders that the guard must “tackle his *advertiser censored* and call the MPs” if Robinson ran away. But the soldier guarding Robinson at that moment was not on the text chain, the report said, and it is unclear whether all the soldiers involved understood he was suspected of murder.

People - Vanessa Guillén's Fiancé Hopes Her Murder Will Create Changes in the Military

The I Am Vanessa Guillén Act would create a new system for reporting and investigating sexual harassment and assault in the military, putting trained professionals outside an accuser's chain of command in charge. It would also change the way the military handles missing persons cases and give sexual assault survivors who are service members the right to make civil claims against the military. Currently, service members have no such recourse.

Vanessa's sister Mayra is also starting a foundation that will bring awareness about the issues of sexual harassment and abuse in the military and help provide services for those affected.

‘We as an Army failed to protect Vanessa Guillén’: Report confirms soldier sexually harassed before her death

Communication missteps allowed the man accused of killing Guillén to flee; 13 officers and noncommissioned officers being disciplined in the case.

Here is the entire 271 page report released on Friday of the investigation - NOTE: Many redactions
https://www.army.mil/e2/downloads/r...hood_ar_15_6_findings_and_recommendations.pdf

Spc. Vanessa Guillen sexually harassed at Fort Hood by supervisor, Army confirms

A different supervisor noticed this change in Guillen and asked about her well-being. Guillen described what happened, and again later to select peers. Two soldiers reported the incident to unit leaders, who failed to initiate an investigation.
The report describes two incidents where Guillen had reported harassment from a supervisor in her unit. In late summer 2019, she told others that the man had solicited her in Spanish for “a threesome.” ...

In September 2019, the same man harassed her again during a field training exercise. He tried to watch her “conduct personal hygiene” in the woods while checking the unit’s perimeter and then returned to the location where she was a second time.

More Army leaders fired, disciplined at Fort Hood in the fallout of Spc. Vanessa Guillen’s death

More than a dozen additional disciplinary actions and firings were announced Friday as new information was released about the response to the disappearance and death of Spc. Vanessa Guillen at Fort Hood.

Gen. Michael X. Garrett, commander of U.S. Army Forces Command, announced 13 officers and noncommissioned officers will be disciplined as a result of an internal Army investigation report. In December, following the release of an outside investigation into Fort Hood, the Army fired or suspended 14 leaders, including some personnel in Army Criminal Investigation Command. Those suspensions included every leader responsible for Guillen from the squad to battalion level. They were not named by the Army. Six of the soldiers disciplined Friday were part of the initial round of actions in December, bringing the number reprimanded in relation to Guillen’s death to 21.

Garrett on Friday fired five soldiers from leadership positions who are current or former leaders within the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. Of the five, three will also receive General Officer Memorandums of Reprimand, a written reprimand that goes into a soldier’s permanent file. Garrett also referred further action against seven additional officers and NCOs to Lt. Gen. Pat White, commander of III Corps and Fort Hood, and further action against one NCO to a separate command. One of those eight leaders will be fired and all will receive reprimand letters. Many of these actions allow for the soldier to respond and include a review period, said Army officials said Friday. Army policy prohibits the release of the names of the battalion level and below commanders and leaders who received reprimand.

When the Army fires a soldier or leader, those personnel remain in the service, but are removed from the position they currently hold. Army officials said Friday that they could not speculate whether any of the letters of reprimand issued could be career-ending.

ETA: I've looked on YouTube for the press conference, but cannot find such. Only MSM reports afterwards. Has anyone seen such?

Reading the above, many times I want to throw my computer. I cannot imagine her family reading this. Most all their efforts were to CYA and all about AR 600-20 Army Comand Policy to protect their reputation!!! and resulting reaction to media etc. and REACTION to "a negative narrative about Fort Hood and the U.S. Army pg 194 (From page 192...."As early as 27 April, an increase in social media activity was noted by 3CR and the Task Force Phantom PAO. Coupled with the Facebook Live media inquiry on 19 May and the family protest / rally, these were all indicators for action.1089) as it became a high profile event. MOO. Too much focus on "innacurate narratives" again and again and again and again ad naseum in social media and they cut off communications due to the family not wanting to communicate with Command and only CID is making me want to bang my head on a wall .. for old timers here at WS .. :banghead: :banghead:

They talk about they didn't share information (with family or media) to "protect the investigation"... but they weren't DOING an investigation much even after the phone ping etc and all the other red flags MOO. Even on May 6th, they were calling her AWOL. They put in "missing" status, and then changed back to AWOL. On page 56, re 19-26 of May, there are still talking about push back to classify her as missing. Page 57 talking about the first press release was done only when military found out about a protest that was going to happen the next day ( 30 days after she went missing/was murdered). Effland said he didn't want to "be the face" so quotes were then attributed to a lower level. Page 60 says that on the 10th of June, still discussing whether she should be designated as missing.

30 JUNE.... Finally changed from AWOL
On Tuesday, o/a 1157, the 3CR S1 submitted an updated SIR to the Task Force Phantom G1, Fort Hood CAC, and CMAOD. Fort Hood CAC submitted the DUSTWUN casualty report to CMAOD o/a 1330.408CMAOD submitted CCIR #48 (Duty Status Change from AWOL to DUSTWUN) to the TAG o/a 1759. The CCIR informed TAG that “information derived from investigating authorities have indicated that their belief is that PFC Guillén's absence is a result of foul play. Based on this information Regimental Command has updated the family indicating they are changing her accountability status from AWOL to DUSTWUN...a Casualty Assistance Officer has been assigned to be a liaison and provide updates as they occur to the family.”409 deleted the AWOL entry, via DA 4187, changing SPC Guillén’s duty status to “missing as of 1130-1230 22 April 2020 until present.”410At the direction of changed SPC Guillén’s duty status from AWOL to Missing in eMILPO o/a 2054, with an effective date of 23 April.411The 3R S1 and Task Force Phantom G1 completed actions to reinstate SPC Guillén’s pay effective 23 April, and promotion to SPC effective 11 June.412

This was the day Robinson escaped.

Only after this was done, did all the capabilities of Task Force Phantom go into gear, which should have happened and been initiated waaaaaay before when they knew there was foul play and activate many resources. But it was activated pretty much with the CYA focus. SMDH.

Page 73 talks about social media monitoring program (first I have heard of in a case) called Zignal Labs.

Page 78, they made a plan 2 days before she was found. It all centers on how to establish a media plan. e.g. "6) Identified best practices from MG Efflandt’s time at Cyber Command that included: go to where the audience is (Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat); Facebook is for old people and they are not giving us a problem; :eek: if they needed software, then buy the license (outlined that TRADOC had done this for their COEs); have 1 or more counter # themes; recommended contacting , who offered to retransmit Task Force Phantom messages across their social media accounts and sites.

Starting on page 159 has me wanting to throw more than my computer... at page 177... need a walk away.

BTW: Can anyone figure out who is being asked all these directed questions that are throughout this document?

"(d) The entrance of a new is a noteworthy silver lining. took the reins of the 43d MP Detachment (CID) 29 May 20; no stranger to FHTX or this case, instantly addressed TF shortcomings and gaps with the Battalion, Group and USACIDC, requesting additional support needed for TF augmentation. It wasn’t until raised theneeded support issue with MG Efflandt, that the TF was properly resourced. This augmentation quickly enhanced and increased the TF’s investigative capabilities."

"CUIFCCGSUBJECT: AR 15-6 Investigation -Fort Hood’s command involvement in, and response to, the disappearance and death of SPC Vanessa Guillén and other specific topic areas.192CUI49. After careful consideration,I find by a preponderance of the evidence that(a) The SIR from 3CR noted the potential for media attention and affirmed “yes” for expected publicity. However, all leaders in Task Force Phantom who reviewed the SIR, to include various PAO personnel, don’t recall seeing the potential media noted by the SIR. SPC Guillén’s disappearance was treated by allin the Task Force Phantom headquarters as just another AWOL Soldier, even though AWOL is not a reportable incident to HQ, III Corps.1084Additionally, as noted in Finding 3-26, Task Force Phantom / Fort Hood staff did not respond in a reasonable and appropriate manner to notification on 23 April 2020 of SPC Guillén’s disappearance. They failed to see this was not a normal AWOL case since the circumstances gave RES and 3CR concerns early on, and CID took over the case within 48-hours of the disappearance.1085Additionally, CID submitted a Serious Incident Report Executive Summary to the U.S. Army Operations Center stating that SPC Guillén was a “missing Soldier” whose disappearance occurred under “unusual” circumstances.1086"

That's nice.
Let's forget chopping someone up in the dead of night burning them and burying them in three cemented holes.

Truly VGs spirit and that of her family moved something unseen to have VG found after the searchers had literally walked over her with their dogs and crossed the place off their map.
And it was obvious from the beginning that the MPs, CID and her 3rd D Army command did not WANT to find her.
So bad -
MOO All involved should be discharged - not reprimanded.
 
Big thank you @dixiegirl1035 for both the summary and the sentiments we share! #StandingforVanessa

So much of the entire report showed to me, MOO, that they were preventing her from being declared a missing person AGAINST protocol... so it never was turned over to outside authorities for primary investigation.

MOO

MOO

I'm just coming back home, working in garden and sharing flowers, then will decompress to read the rest of it tomorrow.

I just HATE HATE HATE that this case has fallen off the radar here. Yet, it is what it is.

This is a case which MOO should have folks from the beginning back here. But... well... I'll sit on hands as I too this week missed breaking new information in another case as I don't click on "New Posts" here at WS to see when an old case is revived with new info or arrests etc..

I depend on the "breaking news" thread too much as I don't follow when cases are high profile and I'm not "watching/following" the most recent thread to know of updates as the threads have gone to a new one so I no longer get notified.

Shame on me.

Hey, I am back.
This case is just crazy foul.

Honorable young person screwed to the max.

I want the people identified to be dishonorably discharged and charged with obstruction of justice AT THE MINIMUM.

They NEED to be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

Once the "soldier" is part of a conspiracy to evade the UCMJ, their culpability should extend to the criminal acts stemming from that conspiracy.

My assessment of this pile of #*×!:
Someone likes someone and is willing to slap 21 soldiers on the hand for gross criminality in order to save their friend from more severe consequences
 
Maybe the Guillen family lawyer has a nice flow chart of who likes who, who served with who, who was probably doing illegal things with who, who is doing drugs with who, who is indebted to who, who is sleeping with who, who is selling military equipment out the back door with who,
and who is in a similar prohibited hate group with who.

Remember, she was following up on a missing weapon when she was killed.

Link does not work.

Motion Hearing set for 5/10 was RESET for 6/2/21 with Judge Albright.
(5/10 was never a reset date but the initial hearing date).

but if you look at this court site:
Docket for United States v. Aguilar, 6:20-cr-00097 - CourtListener.com

on May 3 one (#59) - attached is the pdf file which says hearing was reset to 5/10. That's the pdf file that won't open for you (or me!) the one I posted above.

edited to add - is the motion to reset hearing on 5/4 (#64) where they are moving it to 6/2?

Yes - see docket #61 - final entry on Pacer (there is no #63 on the source docket/Pacer).

(Take note that many of those "util" entries for 5/4 on courtlistener are in error because they don't actually exist on the source Pacer docket).

Remember, she was following up on a missing weapon when she was killed.

I dont think there was ever any real concern that there was a missing weapon.

Rather, Robinson, acting as a senior armorer, had lied to her stating that a weapon could not be accounted for paperwork wise.

He then used his unofficial, but very real summoning ability regarding weapons accountability to "highly recommend" that she come in an assist in tracking it down as it might be in her arms room ( a professional NCO on the forum stated that ignoring such a "recommendation" from an armorer is the same as blowing off the Company Commander).

Apparently Robinson's sole purpose in the unaccounted weapons claim and the summons was to bring Guillen into work, and then to bring her over to Robinson's arms room.

True.
But I thought that 9n this report Robinson was apparently not the harassing superior.
