Family of Vanessa Guillén Confirms Remains Found Last Week Belong to Missing Fort Hood Soldier
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the United States, the family of Vanessa Guillén, the 20-year-old
Fort Hood soldier who has been missing since April, says military
investigators have positively identified her remains. The remains were
found last week in a shallow grave near the Texas Army base. Army
investigators told the family Guillén was beaten to death with a hammer
before being removed from the base. The main suspect in her killing,
Specialist Aaron David Robinson, died by suicide last week. According to
her family, Guillén had been planning on reporting Robinson for sexual
harassment. Click here to see our interview with the Guillén family's
lawyer, Natalie Khawam.
