Concrete-covered remains thought to be those of missing soldier | Daily Mail Online
July 2, 2020
The first image of the site where evidence was found was released on Wednesday. Remains were found nearby on Tuesday and Wednesday but it has not been confirms [confirmed] as Guillen
The remains found Tuesday and Wednesday in the search for missing Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen were hidden under concrete, investigators revealed.
Texas Equusearch's Tim Miller said that attempts had been made to keep the body well-concealed and it was discovered only after a man working in the area noticed a foul smell.
‘It appears he buried her, put lime on her, mixed up concrete, put that over her, put dirt over her, rocks and stuff,’ Miller told KHOU.
The investigation found its first piece of evidence last week which led them to believe that Guillen may be close by.
On Wednesday, a picture of the site was revealed for the first time as Miller announced they found the lid to a Pelican storage case which prompted them to continue the search in the area.
[..]
The remains have not yet been confirmed as the missing soldier.
Fort Hood is set to hold a press conference on Thursday afternoon to reveal more information.
[..]
The discovery was made as the Army announced they were promoting Guillen despite her missing status.
She was promoted to Specialist on Monday.
[..]
Volunteer group Texas EquuSearch came across the remains in an undisclosed area in Coryell County, not too far from the site where the remains of missing soldier Gregory Wedel-Morales were found on June 19.
_________________________
TM reported on NG podcast that investigators/searchers previously received information from an eye witness that saw the suspect struggling to load the pelican plastic crate into his vehicle around 8:30 pm near the time VG disappeared in April. Reportedly, the same area had been searched on June 22 but was well concealed by rocks and firm ground (i.e., concrete base beneath the soil). Locating the lid of the pelican crate confirmed they were in the right area when they located the grave.

Concrete-covered remains thought to be those of missing soldier | Daily Mail Online
July 2, 2020
According to a statement from the Killeen Police Department, authorities located the suspect in the 4700 block of East Rancier Avenue (area pictured) around 1.29am Wednesday morning
The family added that they believe the suspect to be the person who sexually harassed Guillen before she vanished.
The suspect in question died Wednesday from a self-inflicted gunshot after police attempted to bring him in.
He is being described as a ‘junior soldier who fled his post’ but he has not yet been identified.
Police found him walking six miles from Fort Hood but when they approached he pulled out a gun and shot himself, they report.
A second suspect is in custody, believed to be a civilian and the estranged wife of a former Fort Hood soldier. She has also not yet been identified.
It is not known if there is a connection between the two suspects and the Army has said it will hold back on releasing information as Guillen’s family call for the whole base to be closed down and investigated.
The Army has defended its decision not to release information saying that ‘doing so can seriously jeopardize the charging and successful prosecution of individuals’.

BREAKING: Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen bludgeoned dead with hammer in armory room, family lawyer says [EXCLUSIVE]
snipped
The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Unit met with Kwaham on Wednesday, after humans remains were found in a shallow grave close to the Leon River in Texas. The meeting with officials came months after 20-year-old Guillen disappeared from Fort Hood.
Officials told Kwaham that the evidence they had against junior soldier, Aaron Robinson, dated back to the day when Guillen disappeared, after a witness spotted him in an armory parking lot. Robinson’s girlfriend, Cecily Aguilar, the estranged wife of a Fort Hood soldier, was also involved, officials told Kwaham.
Robinson was not the person who called Guillen into work on her day off on April 22, the last day she was seen alive, but he’s the one responsible for killing her, Kwaham said.

***********GRAPHIC DETAILS WARNING**************
BREAKING: Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen bludgeoned dead with hammer in armory room, family lawyer says [EXCLUSIVE]
JULY 2, 2020
[..]
Officials told Kwaham that the evidence they had against junior soldier, Aaron Robinson, dated back to the day when Guillen disappeared, after a witness spotted him in an armory parking lot. Robinson’s girlfriend, Cecily Aguilar, the estranged wife of a Fort Hood soldier, was also involved, officials told Kwaham.
Robinson was not the person who called Guillen into work on her day off on April 22, the last day she was seen alive, but he’s the one responsible for killing her, Kwaham said.
When Guillen arrived at work, Robinson was already inside the armory room working. Guillen reportedly spotted photos of Aguilar on his phone and confronted him about having an affair with someone married to a former soldier.
[..]
At that point, an argument ensued, and Robinson allegedly told Guillen that she wouldn’t ruin his military career. He then grabbed a hammer and bludgeoned her to death, Kwaham said, leaving blood all over the armory room.
Robinson then hid Guillen’s body in a Pelican case, stored it inside the armory room, and left the base to buy supplies. He returned that evening and took the case to the Lake Leon area.
Kwaham said Robinson determined that he couldn’t dispose of Guillen himself and in turn, contacted Aguilar and asked her to help. Both Robinson and Aguilar then used a machete to hack Guillen’s body apart. They used cement to encase her body parts and get rid of evidence.
After leaving the scene, the suspects threw the machete, hammer, and a cellphone from a car window.
Although a witness saw Robinson leaving the base on April 22 with a Pelican case, no warrants were taken out until after investigators found the remains.
Officials told Kwaham that Guillen’s face had been bludgeoned so badly that officials could barely use dental records since her teeth were smashed in during the gruesome attack. She was identified through strands of hair, Kwaham said.

Cecily Aguilar: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com
1. Cecily Aguilar Was Arrested Around 4 AM on July 1
Aguilar was arrested around 4 a.m. on July 1, but her name wasn’t added publicly to Bell County’s inmate roster until later in the day. Her mugshots and details were briefly removed from the website, but they were added back a few hours later. [..] She was born in 1998. Her Facebook posts indicate that she has a child.
Aguilar also had a theft case in Bell County from December 2019.
2. She’s Friends with Robinson on Facebook & the Guillen Family’s Attorney Says They’re Dating
According to KVUE, Aguilar is the ex-wife or estranged wife of a former soldier who was once at Fort Hood. She’s friends with an Aaron Robinson on Facebook. In fact, both of her Facebook profiles (one under the name of Cecily Brown and one under the name of Cecily Aguilar) are both friends with Robinson. [..] Officials have not named Aguilar as a suspect.
On February 22, Aguilar posted on Facebook that she was in a relationship, lists she lives in Jackson, Michigan. [..] Her ex-husband said on social media a week before Robinson died that he had been shot at and some paperwork had stopped the bullet.
3. Her Social Media Posts Talked About ‘Selling Feet Pics,’ Wanting a Sugar Daddy, & Having a Dark Side
[..] In March she posted that was “looking for a real #sugadaddy.” This was after she posted on Facebook in February that she was in a relationship. [..]
She posted the video above about five weeks ago on May 25, about a month after Guillen disappeared, along with multiple other videos and photos on the same day. In one she wrote: “People who fight fire with fire end up with the ashes of their own integrity.”
3. Aaron Robinson Killed Himself After Authorities Wanted to Question Him in Connection with Guillen’s Disappearance
Robinson, a soldier in Fort Hood, had fled the post on Tuesday, KXXV reported, and officials were trying to locate him. When they tried to make contact with him when they found him walking on East Rancier Avenue in Killeen, he shot himself, dying on the scene. [..]
4. The Family Attorney Says Guillen’s Death Was Connected to Sexual Harassment
Khawam told ABC 7 that Guillen was the victim of two instances of sexual harassment, but she feared retaliation and didn’t report them. In one case, her superior walked in while she was showering. In another, someone made vulgar remarks toward her in Spanish. CNN reported that one of the people harassing her was one of her sergeants.
On July 2, the Army held a press conference and said they had not found any evidence to corroborate claims that Guillen had been sexually harassed, and they couldn’t connect Robinson to sexual harassment claims. Guillen’s family has said Guillen didn’t file an official report because she feared retaliation, and the family attorney is pushing for legislation to allow soldiers to file reports without fear of an internal review that would leave them feeling unsafe.
5. Human Remains Found Near Leon River May Be Guillen’s & One Official Said Her Remains Were Covered in Concrete
Guillen, 20, was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. She was last seen at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22, in the parking lot of the Regimental Engineer Squadron Headquarters, 3rd Cavalry Regiment at Fort Hood, according to an Army press release. She’s a Private First Class in the Army, CNN reported.
Guillen’s sister, Mayra Guillen, said she last spoke with her sister the night before she was last seen. They talked about how Vanessa had planned to buy a new car. Guillen had been working earlier in the day in the armory room. Her car keys, barracks room key, identification card and wallet were found in the armory room. Her car was also still at Fort Hood. [..]
Partial human remains were discovered near Leon River on Tuesday, KSAT reported. Kawham said those remains are believed to be Guillen’s.

Is Fort Hood a safe place for soldiers?

Snipped
Retired Master Seargent Brown believes heads should roll over Guillien's murder.
"Everybody that was involved in this, from her squad leader to platoon sergeant to her section sergeant to her first sergeant, her commander, all of them. There's something you did not do," said Brown.
Maybe so, but it will take an investigation by the military to find that out.

We are deeply saddened by events unfolding in the disappearance of SPC Vanessa Guillen. Vanessa was a valued member of the Army team and nothing like this should ever happen to one of our own. The Army is using every available means to learn the truth.

We ask for everyone’s patience in this matter as we continue to work with local Texas and Federal law-enforcement agencies to find the truth and bring justice for Vanessa and her family.

SPC Vanessa Guillen was a courageous young woman who volunteered to defend her Nation. She was an American Soldier. My thoughts and prayers are with her family right now...We’re doing all we can to investigate EVERY aspect of this tragic incident.

Army investigators have positively identified the remains of Spc. Vanessa Guillén, her family told The Washington Post on Sunday, more than two months after she vanished from Fort Hood. Remains discovered Tuesday in a shallow grave east of the Texas installation triggered a manhunt that ended when one suspect — Spc. Aaron Robinson — killed himself as officers closed in, the Army said.
